Earlier this month, John Kunstman gave a presentation at the Lost Art Press storefront on how to make breadboard ends using both power tools and hand tools.
For the attendees, John also prepared a nice 15-page handout on the process that illustrates the process with words and photos. I was supposed to print the handout for the 25 or 30 attendees, but I had too many things on my plate that day.
So I’m posting it here for everyone.
The handout covers just about everything you need to know, from panel preparation to drawboring. John even shows a few of the common mistakes he made.
The download is free. You don’t have to register, or sign up for anything or give away your social security number. Just click the link below and it will download to your device.
Thanks to John and everyone who turned out on Dec 14 for our last open day until June. It was a fun day with cameo appearances from Nancy Hiller and Peter Follansbee.

Thank you Chris, very thoughtful of you to post this helpful article. Many of us would like to be there in person, but live too far away. You are a good guy! Happy New Year!
Thank you for sharing this. I, like I think a lot of your blog followers, live a great distance from your shop. (In my case it is Colorado.) We would love to come during one of your open days, but the reality of a long and expensive trip for a few hours of chat is not realistic. Maybe someday.
thank you. I l appreciate your passion for teaching people about woodworking
Thanks for this. It’s very timely as I’m finalising my Dutch toolchest lid and wanting to go the bread boarding route. Never done this joint before so this resource will certainly help.
Thank you this is very kind of you.
Here’s wishing all of you there…a very happy and successful New Year!!!
That was an awesome read. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Thank you!
A huge thank you to all at Lost Art Press for having me.
Thank you to Nancy Hiller and Peter Follansbee for the kind and helpful advice!
Thank you to all who attended the lecture. You guys are a fun crowd who i would love to hang out with!

At risk of being pedantic, the pdf file is named kUNTsman, not Kunstman. Kind of Freudian – I don’t know what that says about me for noticing it.
Actually I do: There was a Mike Hunt in my class growing up. I was afraid of saying his name, because it sounds like…something else. I figured I’d avoid the problem by calling him Michael (instead of just not addressing him by his full name like a normal person). First time I tried my brilliant plan, I belted out, “Hey Michael C**t!”
I was so focused on not saying it, my brain couldn’t help but say it. Needless to say we never really became friends.
