I am sure many of you remember the Hall Frame I was working on a couple months ago. Well the article I was writing for Popular Woodworking was finally published and can be found in the August 2009 issue. I have been writing for Popular Woodworking for about a year now, but this was my first published project with them. So I am pretty stoked! If you don’t already have a subscription, you can pick one up here. And of course you can always pick up a copy at the newsstand.
As with all my Popular Woodworking columns, this one has an accompanying video on pillowing ebony plugs. You can check that out here.
And finally, if you are looking to actually make one of these beautiful Hall Frames, you can download the templates here.
Man that is too cool. Congrats on the Pop Wood Publishing!!! Just one more notch in the ol’ belt.
Well done Marc. Read this earlier this week and was impressed. You have a great style of writing.
Congratulations! I received my copy in the mail earlier this week and your article is excellent. I love the pillowed pegs.
Can’t wait to read the article!
Keep up the good work Marc.
Marc, I read your article on the Hall’s Frame and it was great but you missed a point or I am missing something, when I first looked at the photo I saw a stage like a theater stage and the way the wood was figured and cut it appeared as if the curtains were pulled open and bunched like drapes and the wood had the appearance of cloth.

Hey Jim. I actually had someone else point that out to me last week. I don’t think we’ll ever know for sure what the inspiration was and we can only speculate, but I would agree that the image of a stage seems fairly apparent. Too bad we can’t go back in time to find out for sure.
