All Work and No Play Makes WOOD a Du Magazine e100 Photograph: Terry Lichteaberger Legend has it that Sir Isaac Newton developed the theory of gravity after being bonked on the head by a falling apple. And more recently, 3M Company's Art Fry came up with the idea for the Postit Brand Note Pad (those adhesive-backed notes we like to stick on everything) while singing from his hymnal at church one Sunday. Let face it! These two guys were terribly lucky. One was taking 2 break on 2 nice autumn day when his idea hit. And the other just wanted a good way to mark the location of the ‘current day’ selection of hymns. Its a lot like that in the magazine business. You never know where or when you're going to think of something you're sure the readers will love Sometimes, the office just isn't the best place to get Creative, Sometimes, it Kansas City, Missouri, as the WOOD staff found out this past summer. For two days and two nights, we locked ourselves away in a hotel conference room trying to decide what articles, projects, and techniques to include in "upcoming issues. And you know something, it worked! We've got almost everything mapped out through the February, 1988 issue. I'm biased, I know, but I think you've got some great material ‘coming your way. In case you're wondering how we had time to take a cruise on the Missouri River Queen with our spouses if we were so busy, please reread the head line at the beginning of this artic Have a Happy Fin, (hits Holiday Season! WOOD MAGAZINE DECEMBER 1986Affordable Quality in Carbide Dado & Saws from ii Three Important Features in a Carbide Circular Saw Blade The Tips: These are made of carbide tungsten and are avail able in different grades and thickness. Smal, softer tips are used by many manufacturers of blades But Freud uses the hardest grade available, induc- tion ‘brazes it to the saw shoulder and then applies a “glass’ edge with a 400 grit diamond ‘wheel. The larger, more durable tips, mean more blade sharpenings and greater blade life for you. The Plate Body: Milled tool steot wil be found in the plate body of the premium blades. At Freud, after the tool steel is riled, itis heat treated and sur- face ground on both sides. It is then hammered to provide the proper tensioning and. then hand checked for rueness. This will ensure that the blade will stretch evenly when run at high speeds. The Price: Value isa relationship between quality and cost. At Freud, we provide both in an industrial grade product at an affordable price.

In your August, 1986 issue (p. 23), you answered ‘Howard Bushnell question about why his wood joints come loose on tabletops. All your suggestions ‘were just fine, but you neglected to mention the things that will help the most: dowels, In one week I doweled seven tabletops and I have repaired many others. They never come apart. = H.R. Bockmeier, El Cajon, Calif. Its bard to argue with success, but we stick with what we told Howard. Dowels add extra strength, but a property glued joint will bold just fine with out them — provided you're mating edge grain to edge grain, that is End grain joints are a different ‘matter By all means reinforce them with dowels, splines, or tongues and grooves. SMOOTH SANDING IN TIGHT SPOTS With a 1" clearance there are several solutions, depending on finish and squareness required. My first choice is a drill and a carbide burr, The minimum diameter I have found is %" and go up to 34’, Cost: About $14, Using a drill press solves the squareness problem, Second choice is by hand, using carbide sand- paper. It comes in three grades; coarse, medium and fine. The sheets have steel backing which keeps it stiff yet follows any contour, Cost: About $3 for a 4x11" sheet. I get my %" carbide burrs from Wood Carvers Supply, Inc., PO. Box 8928, Norfolk, VA 23503. Car- bide sandpaper can be obtained from Sears. They also carty some carbide burrs but not as small as Yo". — Fiske €. Saunders, Avalon, Calif. There you have it folks, tips for sanding in those tough, tight places, and suggested sources for the ‘materials. Many thanks, Fiske, for sending them along for WOOD readers. BALANCING ACT WOOD heard from several readers who were unfamiliar with the “balance sheet” called for in the Bill of Materials for our ‘Double-Duty Table. Saw Extensions” project (August, 1986 issue, p. 64).

Brown in color and much thinner than ordinary laminates, balance sheet costs only about baif as much. Some plastic laminate dealers stock tt; with others you may have to spectal order WHAT POWER TOOLS TO BUY: TWO READERS WRITE Last issue, we responded to WOOD subscriber Ray Amon's question about what power tools to buy for bis narrow shop. We asked you readers for your opinions on the subject, and bere are two of the letters we received: No. 1 would be either a table of radial-arm saw. No. 2 would be a jointer. How many projects can you make where it isn’t necessary to joint and edge: glue boards together? No. 3 is a portable belt sander. It is possible to use a portable belt sander as a stationary sander; however, itis very tough to use a stationary sander as a portable. No. 4 depends on what your plans are concerning projects. If you plan to use projects that don’t use standard 34" stock, or if you plan to make projects that will consume 400-500 board feet of lumber (which isn't really all that much), the next choice is a planer. Black walnut and cherry sell for about $3 per board foot at a lumberyard in my area, At a sawmill, it can be purchased for $1.25 per board foot. That's quite a savings if you have a planer, Next comes No. 5, a band saw for resawing and cutting curved pieces. If plans include anything with round legs or turnings, next choose No. 6, a lathe, and then No. 7, the drill press. After this, add router and bits, No. 8. — David Milles, Annville, Pa I recommend a multipurpose power tool such as a Shopsmith. Like Ray, I have limited shop space, so I purchased a Shopsmith Mark V a few years ago. This machine requires about as much space as a bicycle and has adequately met nearly all of my woodwork- ing requirements, ‘Thanks for producing a top-notch magazine.

TIP: Here’ an easy aid if you're drilling parallel to the floor with spade bits. Before inserting the bit into the chuck, slip a large washer over the shaft. If the bit is paral- Tel to the floor, the washer will neither climb up nor walk down the shank. — Robert A. Grace, St-Joseph, Mich. FROM YOUR SHOP pon tn aroan TABLE INSERTS A SNAP TO MAKE Despite the accuracy of dado and shaper blades, distorted cuts can occur when the workpiece is not supported by the table insert ‘TIP: You can make several table inserts with a router and thin ply- ‘wood scraps, With double-faced tape, join the metal dado insert with 2 rough-sawn plywood blank. Cat the plywood to the exact size with 2 laminate flush trimmer in your router. Keep several blanks ‘on hand for a variety of tasks. The zero-clearance cutting increases ‘operator safety, too. — Michael Cosgrove, Goose Creek, $.C. PICTURE THIS: BETTER CABINETS ‘One person can struggle untold times trying to align and assem- ble a box or cabinet. ‘TIP: No matter what type of joints you've cut, a picture-frame clamp ‘works like another pair of hands in the workshop. Position two adjoin- ing sides and tighten a corner clamp over the joint, Repeat the procedure with an adjoining joint. Now loosen a clamp, reposition the pieces for an accurate fit and tighten. Join the pieces with screws oo nails and repeat the procedure with the other joints — David W. Schweizer, GET A GRIP ON SLIPPERY NAILS It takes the leverage of a claw hammer to remove difficult nails, but some nails slip right through the claw If you try a different angle to grab the nail, you could mar or dent the wood. ‘TIP: Clamp locking pliers over the nail shank, slide the claw under the pliers jaws, and remove the nail with ease, — Don Butler, KEEPING BLADES IN APPLE-PIE ORDER Table-saw blades pose fascinat- ing dangers to curious children exploring in the workshop. TIP: Plastic containers for keeping and transporting pies safely store saw blades, too. Separate the blades with cardboard spacers.

It's ferociously efficient. Flawlessly engineered, IT’S THE PIRANHA® CARBIDE-TOOTH SAW BLADE. FROM BLACK & DECKER. The Piranha® carbide saw blade lasts up to fity times longer than conventional steel blades. And outperforms both conventional carbide and steel blades alike. CUTS FASTER, SMOOTHER THAN CONVENTIONAL CARBIDE BLADES. Carbide-tipped blades last longer than steel blades. But they tend to cut slower. Rougher. They're harder on the saw, and require more work of the operator To solve this problem, Black & Decker has engineered three major breakthroughs in carbide blade technology. CURVED CARBIDE TOOTH “SLICES” THROUGH WOOD. Most conventional carbide blades feature a somewhat, clumsy block-shaped tooth (see diagram) which ‘chops’ through wood, resulting in a slow, difficult ct The Piranha carbide tooth saw blade features an exclusive “curved carbide tooth,” which literally slices through wood.

Another reason for the Piranha blade's ravenous appetite is its exclusive “fishhook gullet” design—a continuous curved surface with no break between the carbide tip and the steel body. This continuous curved surface prevents wood from wedging beneath the carbide tip, reduces drag, and assures faster more efficient chip removal tha Conventional carbide blades. THE RESULT: ‘A CARBIDE-TIPPED FEEDING FRENZY. Piranha carbide tooth saw blades are available now ina wide range ot sizes, from 5'4"to 10", 16 to 60 teeth, forall brands of circular, table, miter, and radial arm saws.

But this one dries to a hard, durable surface that will withstand many months of heavy use before a touch-up coat is needed. A typical cutting board will require two or three initial coats, The moisture-resistant fin- ish also helps keep the board from warping and cracking, ‘Although this finish contains toxic solvents while in liquid form, it is nontoxic when dry and meets FDA approval for use on ‘objects that come in contact with food. This makes it excellent as a tough, glossy finish on kitchen utensils and kid's toys. Beblen'’s Salad Bow! Finish. Write to H.

If you cut the front view side first, you eliminate the flat side of the block you need for support to saw the profile! Some carvers spot- glue it back together, but there’ a better way. Experienced carvers u this technique to maintai solid support on the saw: Step 1. Start with a piece of block-shaped carving stock ‘on which the two sides not showing the pattern form a 90° angle. The other two sides don't necessarily have to be square. Step 2. With a ¥' blade on the band saw, cut along one side of the pattern from bot tom to nearly top center, circle in a teardrop shape, and come back down the same line, Step 3. Repeat the sawing on the other side of the front view, being sure to leave about a 4? cone ing area of the block intact, as shown in the photograph. Step 4. Turn the block to the side on which you've traced the profile and saw ‘one half the pattern, as in the second photograph. On Your last cut, saw through the connecting wood at top center to free your carving from the block.

For a proper fit, make sure you cut all these parts to the samme length. 1 Curt the handle (B), divider (C), bottom (D), and lower rails (E) to the sizes listed in the Bill of Mate- rials from 2" oak. (We ripped all the pieces first. Then, we set a stop 14" from the blade of our radial arm saw to ensure a consistent Jength.) Cut the center-radiused hand grip in the handle where shown on the Exploded-View Drawing on the previous page. 2 Locate the center of each end of the divider, bottom, and both lower rails, then drill a %2" pilot hole 9" deep in each. Locate and, drill one ¥s2" hole in each end of the handle (the second hole on each end of the handle will be drilled later) 3’ Route a %¢" round-over along the edges, but not the ends, of the handle, divider, bottom, and both lower rails, 44 Make a trial assembly of the parts by screwing the handle, divider, bottom, and both lower rails between the end: panels. Do not use glue 5 Using a straightedge, align the handle with the divider. Using the ‘¥o" shank holes previously drilled in the end panels as guides, drill the second set of ¥%2" holes in the handle ends, Square the bottom piece with the divider and handle, and drill the second set of holes in the bottom, Set the assembly aside ‘You will need it later to determine the length of the curved rails (F). FASHIONING THE CURVED RAILS T Cut four pieces of ¥2" oak 4x17" With a ruler and straightedge, lay out 1” squares to form a pattern measuring 4x17", Using the Curved-Rail Grid asa guide, mark the points where the curved-tail outline crosses cach grid Tine. Use 68 a thin flexible scrap of wood to connect the points to form the curved lines. Use spray adhesive on the back of the pattern to attach it to one of the curved-rail blanks (F). 2 With the edges and ends flush, stick the four curved-rail picces together with double-faced tape. 3 Set your radial arm or table saw to cut 22° right of center, and trim the ends of the taped-together boards. Cut the curved rails to shape. Now, sand the edges of the rails (but not ends) smooth. Remove the gridded paper. 4 Clamp the taped-together a woodworker’s vise with the mar- row ends up and level, Drill a ¥2" pilot hole ¥%" deep, centered into the narrow end of each curved rail, Pull the rails apart and remove the tape. Then, rout a Yio" round- over along the edges, but of the ends of each curved rail 5 To lay out the lap joint on the start by clamping a framing square in your woodworker’ vise ‘Then, position the paired rails as shown in the drawing below so that one end of each pait is flush with the square, and opposite ends are exactly 14" apart.

Use a spring clamp to hold the paired rails together when you have them properly aligned. 6 Use a sharp pencil to mark both curved rails where they overlap, ‘Then, separate the rails, and repeat for the other pair, keeping the paired rails together. To mark the depth of cut needed for each lap joint, measure and mark a line 4" from the face on cach curved rail Gwe used a combination square and sharp pencil for this). 7 As shown in the photo above, make the first two cuts 4" deep on the inside of the m: D- joint lines. Then, cut sevetaf more kerfs between the first two (the closer the kerfs, the easier the waste isto chisel out in the next step). 8 Chisel the waste between the lap lines, as shown in the photo in the upper right-hand corner. (You could also use a router fitted with a straight bit to make the recess.) Finish by taking finer cuts with the chisel, and touch up with a rasp if necessary. Test-fit the pieces, 9 Glue both pairs of curved rails together, again using the framing square to align the ends of the rail pairs. Now, before the glue on the curved rails sets, clamp them in position, centering the bottom ends over the %1" shank holes drilled earlier in the end panels. Screw the bottom end of each curved rail to the end panel, using spring clamps to hold them together at the lap joints. Using the shank holes in the end panels as guides, drill a pair of 2" holes in the upper ends of each curved rail, FINAL ASSEMBLY I Disassemble the rack by remov- ing the screws. Sand all the pieces smooth: It's too difficult to finish- sand all the pieces when the rack fs assembled. 2 Glue and screw all the parts to one end panel. (We applied a coat of glue to the end grain, waited a minute and added a bit more). ‘When one end of the assembly is completed, attach the opposite end panel in the same manner. Scrape off all excess gluc once a tough skin has formed, being careful not to mar the sanded surfaces. _ BUYING GUIDE 3 With a 9%" plug cutter, cut %e'- long oak plugs.

If 80, you've just struck it rich because this pint-sized play- thing will soon be one of that child's favorite posses- ions. We scaled down the size of the locomotive and cars so that even toddlers can maneuver them easily. And because young “engi- neers” can sometimes get overly energetic when oper- ating trains, we designed the project to stand up to plenty of playful abuse. A Note: You'll need some thin stock ‘for this profect. You can either resaw or plane thicker stock 10 the correct thickness or speciat- order it See the Buying Guide on page 79 for our source START WITH THE LOCOMOTIVE | To make the locomotive chassis (A), cut 4” maple to the size listed in the Bill of Materials.

Cut a 2%" piece from the rounded-over portion of the block, and set aside the remainder for the passenger car and caboose. Now, glue and clamp the boiler flush with the front of the chassis and centered from side to side. 3 Cut the boiler front plate (C) to 2214" from 7" maple stock. Gut Vj" radii on the top two corners. Sand the boiler front plate smooth, YTIPE EXPRESS and glue it to the front of the cha and boiler. 4 Using ¥4" maple, cut the two sides (D), the front (E), and the bottom (£) of the cab to size. Drill a 1%" “window” in each side where shown in the Side-View Drawing. Then, glue all the cab pieces together as shown in the locomotive Exploded- View Drawing. Sand the eclges smooth, and glue the cab to the chassis, directly behind the boiler 5 Drill a 36” hole 14" deep 1” back from the front end of the boiler for the smokestack dowel.

The guide on its handle steadies the top as it begins to spin, then, its lifted when the top takes off. It makes even big and otherwise unwieldy tops easier to spin, but its best to stick with the size shown for your first one. After that, you can experiment. Use any hardwood, or even pine, for the handle and guide. The top itself should be of hard maple to withstand abuse. You can turn the top on a lath or shape it on a drill press. Either way, make sure that the hole for the spindle lines up exactly on the centerline of the body or the top will be out of balance and won't spin, Decorate the top with a colorful stripe or two for a rotating design that adds flash and excitement as the top spins.

Pentagons, hexagons, and octagons all belong in the polygon family. And, while you can learn specific ways to draw hexa- gons and octagon, this univer- sal method allows you to draw them all Step 1. Draw a circle large enough to enclose the size polygon you want, Then divide the diameter into as many equal spaces as your polygon will have sides, below. Out circle’ diameter is 37 and we ‘wanted seven sides, so we made a mark every ¥2 (2x7 = 37). Step 2, Set the legs of a compass or the distance between trammel points to the circle’ diameter.

ROUTING BACKWARD Q. On my last project I ruined balf again as ‘much zebrawood as tt took to complete the proj- ect. Do you have any suggestions for routing zebrawood? — Carl Ragsdale, Houston, Tex. AA. some woods just naturally split or chip when routed; other woods are hard to work when they're extremely dry. In both cases, one solution is “climb cutting”: passing the router bit across the wood backward, This isn't a technique you'll want to use all the ime, because the bit will have a tendency to climb up the workpiece surface and pull the router out of control. However, once you know how your router will react to your operating it backward, you can stay on top of the situation, NORMAL ROUTER “CLIMB CUTTING” METHOD METHOD Aim coco Bit shoars wood cleanly | = jks | ee Router moves in Router moves in theaacion’ "| | tochacion N ‘To start climb cutting, make sure you have the workpiece securely clamped. With a firm grip on your router, run the bit across the edge in several light passes, until the cut is complete. For profiles that permit, start with a shallow cut — say one- third of the full depth — lowering the bit after each pass.

These have served woodturners well for countless years. But today, manufacturers offer you yet ‘another mounting option — the lathe chuck. Should you add one of these costly devices to your turning tool kit? Will a lathe chuck make you a better turner? Which one should you buy? For answers, we talked to some of the folks who sell and use lathe chucks. Here’s what we found out. WHAT ADVANTAGES DO LATHE CHUCKS OFFER? Have you ever examined the bot tom of a bowl made by an experi enced turner and wondered how the heck he or she got it so thin? Most likely the turner first shaped the outside of the bowl between centers or with an inexpensive (under $30) pin chuck, then switched to a lathe chuck for the inside work, Systems vary, but lathe chucks offer a way to turn thin-bottomed bowls with no face plate screw holes. We investigated three popular models — the ThreeJaw Chuck, the Sorby Precision Combination ‘Chuck, and the Delta Super Chuck. THREEJAW CHUCK Darrell Nish, president of Craft Supplies US.A., grew up with wood shavings in his pants cuffs His father, Dale, is one of the country’s best known woodturning teachers and author of several turning books Darrell especially likes the Three- Jaw Chuck shown top right, on beast (nearly China, and WOOD MAGAZINE DECEMBER 1986 jel = BUVWANSIILP sass LATHE CHUCKS WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU? expensive (list $189.98), Never- theless, you'll find a Three Jaw Chuck in many shops. r Experienced turners love the Three- Jaw Chuck’ speedy mounting sys- ‘tem, but its not for beginners. To use a ThreeJaw Chuck you turn a round tenon or plug on the outside bottom of the bowl, demount the bowl, and lock the chuck onto the lathe’ headstock. ‘The self-centering jaws grip any plug up to 4¥2" in diameter. “Its the most versatile chuck there is,” Nish says, “Professional turners like the Three Jaw Chuck for its speed, but its not for begin- nets. You need a lot of finesse.” For the average turner, Darrell recommends the Sorby Precision ‘The Precision Combination Chuck precisely holds the workpiece ina multitude of ways.

Most turners give the expand. ing collet (internal grip) a heavy workout. The collet spreads to grasp a shallow dovetail recess in the bottom of the bowl. You'll specially appreciate the expand- ing collet when you need to quickly rechuck pieces without worrying about losing center —a blessing when you work ‘green woods. Intricate wood patterns easy. A smooth cutting action virualy eliminates sanding. The blade is ‘riven on both up and down, stroke, and a parallel rocker arm system and pivoting blade clamp ‘absorbs stress to avoid blade breakage. The blade moves slightly back from the wood fon the up stroke and forward into work on the down stroke to speed cutting, Great for making toys, jowelry, puzzles, tretwork, ‘tc, Thousands of those machines used In Europe for many years. ‘SPECIFICATIONS: Be warned, though, that the shallow dovetail recess — just %e" deep — must be accurately turned.

We also checked ont the Delta Super Chuek shown above, an Australian-made expanding collet system that lists for about $120. Unlike the Three-Jaw or Preci- sion Combination Chuck, you don’t haye to mess around with a pin chuck or turning the outside of the blank between centers first. What’ more, the recess for holding the stock is a snap to drill with the Delta system. With a drill press you bore a %c'-deep recess into the base of the bowl blank, using either a 50-mm (2:inch) or 75-mm (3.inch) bit (both of which are included with the Delta system). Then, you thread the matching collet to the back plate, tighten the assembled parts, and away you go! The sys- tem is fast and clean, and espe- cially good with green lumber. Chett Ray, product manager of Woodworker's Supply of New Mexico, likes nothing better than to turn four or five blanks on a Sunday morning, and the chuck he favors is the Delta Super Chuck. “I don't think you can ever out- ‘grow that chuck,” he says. “The more you use it, the more you appreciate it.” Photographs: Hopkins Associates; Jim Kascouras 106 WOOD MAGAZINE DECEMBER 1986NOW!

From now until January 11, you can see it and ‘other fine pieces from the 1870s and 1880s at an exhibition titled “In Pursuit of Beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement,” in the American Wing of New York’s ‘Metropotitan Museum of Art Sponsored by Meredith Corpora- tion, publisher of Better Homes and Gardens® WOOD magazine, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the exhibition ‘examines the post-Civil War trends that brought art into everyday life. Finding a person with the last ‘name of Stanicy in New Britain, Connecticut, before the Civil War was as easy as finding acorns under oak trees. And, if there had been telephones and directories back then, all the Stanteys would have been listed in the Yellow Pages under “tools” or “hardware, Frederick T, Stanley and his brother William founded The Stanley Bolt Manufactory there in 1843 to make bolts, hasps, han- les, and other hardware items. ‘Two cousins, Augustus and Gad Stanley, established A, Stanley and ‘Company in 1850 and began ‘manufacturing rules. Seven years later, in 1857, Henry Stanley, yet another cousin, merged with Augustus and Gad and a local New Britain level-and- plumb manufacturing business to form the Stanley Rule and Level Company. Meanwhile, Frederick and William's enterprise had Me, FACTS, FACES & FABLES (OF INTEREST TO HOME WOODWORKERS WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE WOOD Of the nearly 1,200 species of for- est trees found in this country, the southeastern states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missis- sippi, North Carolina, South Caro- lina, Tennessee, and Virginia have the most variety. You'll find at least half of all species growing there. When it comes to hardwoods, however, the northern states (above the old Mason-Dixon line) ‘grow more than half. The South accounts for 41 percent, and the ‘West — the Pacific Coast in par- ticular — has the rest. ON THE LEVEL: THE STORY OF THE STANLEYS grown to become The Stanley Works, and added hinges. ‘Through the late 1800s and the turn of the century, both compa- nies evolved into leading manu facturers in their respective fields — The Stanley Works in hardware and the Stanley Rule and Level Company in hand tools. The com- panies even sold their products internationally. In 1920, all the Stanleys decided to get together — busi ness-wise. The two companies ‘merged, with Stanley Rule and Level becoming the present Stan- ley Tools Division of The Stanley Works. United, the companies paved the road for growth.
