Larry: How do you view your
relationship with woodworking-
tool manufacturers?
Dave: I think that we've earned
the respect of manufacturers by
treating their products fairly,
while being honest with our
readers about the performance of
those tools.
Larry: Do you ever get surprised
during the course of your testing?
Dave: When I go into a test with
preconceived notions about this
or that tool, they invariably get
blown out of the water.
Dave said quite a bit more dur-
ing our chat, but I think you get
the idea. He's serious about try-
ing to get at the facts so you. can
make informed tOOl-buying deci-
sions, Thanks for doing a great
job, Dave!
To see yet another woodwork-
ing side of this interesting guy,
please tum to page 68, and there
you'll find Bill Krier's article
chronicling Dave's exploits as a
fearless backyard sawyer. It's fun,
fascinating reading.
Tool-testing expert Dave Henderson in his shop
testing a group of routers for an upcoming
Issue of magazine.
Ever since I met Dave
Henderson several years ago
here at the WOO.De magazine
offices, I've had a lot of
respect for him. He's resource-
ful, self-made, smart, knowl-
edgeable, a good family man,
and if that weren't enough,
he's one of our two indepen-
dent product testers. (You met
our other tool expert, Bob
McFarlin-The Dynamometer
Man-in the August 1996 issue.)
I recently caught up with Dave
at his workshop as he was testing
some routers for an upcoming
issue. And I thought you might be
interested in learning a little bit
about his tool-testing philosophy
via our discussion.
Larry: Correct me if I'm wrong
here, but you are not making a
fortune testing tools for us.
Dave: That defmitely would be a'n
accurate Slatement.
Larry: So what's your motivation
for doing this work?
Dave: Over time, I've spent a lot
of money on tools that marketing
people have done an excellent job
of selling, btl[ that in real life
don't live up to the advertising.
Larry: What are you trying to
accomplish for our readers as you
do your testing?
Dave: I hope readers use the
information Bob and I provide to
buy the best tool for their money.
I understand that most of our
readers aren't rich and that they
can't afford [0 waste money.

Stamping line
Another pointer for
driving nails
I just fmished reading your article
"What Woodworkers Need to
Know: A Few Points on Nails" in
the January 1996 issue. However,
your article didn't mention this
basic method for driving a nail and
not splitting the wood: You can
position a nail so that it cuts the
wood grain rather than separates it.
This technique works because aU
nails are made by stamping. This
produces nails that have two
rough and normally sharp edges
and two opposite smooth edges on
the point. When you position the
rough, saw-tooth edges across the
grain, the nail will act as a chisel
and slice through tIle wood grain.
If you have difficulty telling the
edges on the point apart, take a
look at the nailhead. There you
will see a stamping line. This line
lies in the same plane as the sharp
edges of the nail. As you set the
nail to drive it into the wood,
align this stamping line across the
grain. It'll soon become a habit.

Be sure, tOO, to keep the back of
the blade flat all the way to the
cutting edge. If it curves up as
shown in the illustration below
left, the chisel may be hard to
control and won't cut cleanly.
PUlling chisels to work
Chisels handily meet many work-
shop situations. But, leave such
things as opening paint cans or
prying off door and window trim
to the proper tool. You can use
the chisel to clean off dried glue
squeeze-out, pare down a tenon
to fit a mortise, or trim a plug
flush to a surface. Here are some
other chores where the chisel
comes in handy:
Names are not important
Over the centuries names by the
hundreds have been heaped
upon chisels. You'll hear refer-
ences to the firmer chisel (an
ordinary, general-purpose chisel
with a blade 3-5" long), butt chis-
el (a shorter chisel)Jraming chis-
el (a wider, heavier one), mortise
chisel (a longer version), paring
chisel (one. with a long, flexible
blade), and more.
But when you're buying chisels,
those names don't mean much.
You'U do better to pick a chisel by
looking at it and assessing how
weU it fits your needs than by rely
ing on a name. A blade of high-
carbon steel and a durable handle
are the most important features.
Keep chisels sharp
Don't even try to use a dulJ chisel.
Hollow grind the edge on a grind-
ing wheel, maintaining the factory
bevel angle. Then hone the blade
on a flat oilstone or waterstone,
using a sharpening jig such as the
one shown below.

Even though the chisel dates back to the dawn of wood-
working, it can still do a lot of things for you today.

Simplicity in itself
Tools don't come much simpler
than the chisel, as shown below.
Though the drawing shows one
with a wooden handle, many
today feature plastic handles.
Plastic handles absorb shock and
resist deformation at the end
when driven by a mallet, making
them ideal for general shop use.
(fhe chisels in the WOOD3 maga-
zine shop have plastic handles.)
If you buy a wooden-handled
chisel and you'll be using a mallet
on it, look for one with a leather
washer between the bolster and
the handle to help absorb shock.
A steel hoop around the top of
lhe handle minimizes mushroom-

A flood isn't the worst thing that
can happen to you.
Not being insured for one is.
A flood moves with frightening
speed. In minutes, a flo:xl can wash
away everything you and your family
have spent a lifetime building.
But often the worst isn't the flood.
It's finding out, too late, that you're
not covered for flood damage.
You're probably not covered.
The truth is, 90% of all natural
disasters in this country involve
floods. Yet, as many find out too
late, most homeowner's insurance
policies don't cover flood damage.
Everyone runs the risk of being a
flood victim. In fact, between 25%
and 30% of flood insurance claims
come from "low risk" areas. It could
happen to you.
Give yourself peace of mind.
Fortunately, now you can protect
your home and property with flood
insurance from the National Flood
Insurance Program.

It'S inconvenient to reach behind

Several new kids on the gluing block
Lately, hardly a month goes by wiLhout a new wood-
working glue entering the marketplace. While some
are variations on a theme, others stand out for their
breakthrough technology. To help you make sense
of it all, I rounded up five recent entries (pictured at
right) and put them through some real-world tests.
Here's what I found.
Note: You may also want to check out the test
results on pages 70-73 in the June 1995 issue of
WOOD<ID magazine. 1n thtlt tlrtlc/e, I looked
at five new entries, including Elmer's
Weather-rite Wood Glue, Titebond /I Wood
Glue, Rooelear, Gorill(l Glue, and Excel ':-=0:;:;'
Polyurethane Wood Glue.
PRODUCT SCORECARD
After using the ProBond Wood
Glue in my shop, I rank it even
with other yellow glues in wet
tack and final strength. I especial-
ly like the container's offset trian-
gular-shaped spout, which easily
reaches into corners and tight
spots. You're less likely to lose the
large, orange cap, and the bottle's
wide-mouth, screw-on top makes
it a cinch to refill without spills.
by Da/.'e HendeF'$QN
use the glue sparingly because it
foams more than twice as much as
the polys we tested earlier.

Titebond wood Molding Glue
Applying ordinary yellow glues to
finish trim, crown moldings, base-
boards, and so forth has always
been a messy business. So, I'm
sure that professional and hobby-
ist woodworkers alike will appre-
ciate this new glue's high wet
tack-a glue's initial wet holding
power-and qUick set tUne.
I intentionally applied an excess
amount of glue to check run resis-
tance and was surprised at how
much overload there can be
bdore it actually runs. Surplus
glue also didn't seem to affect the
set up time, which at 65 degrees
Fahrenheit was about 30 minutes.
Titebond Wood Molding Glue
dries with a slight brownish tint,
and it fills gaps that most other
products won't. Unfortunately,
you can't use it for outdoor proj-
ects or in high-moisture areas.
PL Premium wood Glue
Several things impressed me
about PL Premium Wood Glue.
For starters, unlike some other
polyurethane glues, it resisted
running and dripping. Not only
that, but this 100 percent water-
proof product exhibits good ini-
tial tack, and low foaming com-
pared to some other polys.

MARKINGTHE TAPER
ON A 48" CAUL
Dan, any polyvinyl (white) or aliphatic resin (yel-
low) glue will work with MDF. Begin by applying
an even coat of g1t.le to the surface of one piece of
MDP. Use a scrap of wood or a plastic spatula to
even Ollt the glue layer. Next, place the second
piece of MDF in place and align the edges of the
two pieces.
Apply weight or pressure evenly to hold the two
layers together. In the WOOD magazine shop, we
usually use clamps and clamping cauls to do this.
As shown in the illustration at right, a chlmping
caul is a board with one slightly tapered edge that,
as you tighten, applies pressure to the middle first,
and then to the outer edges. Make your clamping
cauls by following the instructions in the illustra-
tion shown below.
Distribute the pairs of clamping cauls about every
foot along the MDF pieces as shown in the ilIustra-
STEP 1. Rip a 48' stralght2x4 down to 2

/2' wide.
STEP 2. Place a nail In thll center tar enough back so the
strip will align with the edge of the caul.
STEP 3. Place a nail in one end, 1/4" trom the edge.
STEP 4. At the opposite end, make a mark 1/8' from the
edge and place the strip between the nails.
STEP 5. Hold the tree end of the strip on the l/S' mark.
then mark the taper from the center nail to the
end of the caul.
STEP 6. Repeat steps 35 to mark the other half. Then
shape the taper using an edge sander or plane.
Another reason to make
some clamping cauls
J want to laminate two layers of MDF (medium
density fiberboard) to make a rottter-table top.
Then, I'll cover both sides with plastic laminate.

Steaming out a dent
I.have an antique table that just
sustained a dent from a falling
plate. Can you suggest a way to
correct this problem?
-l.tlwretlce F. Raw/e, Everett, Wash.
On bare wood, place a dampened
cloth right over the dent. Then
position the tip of a heated iron on
the cloth. You'll hear a sizzling
sound as the steam is forced into
the wood. Remove the iron and
cloth, and aUow the wood to sit for
a few minutes. If the marred area is
still depressed, repeat the steaming
process as needed.
A word of warning: do not sand
around a dent before attempting to
raise it. Otherwise the compressed
fibers in the dented area will
expand more than the surrounding
surface fibers. This leaves the for-
merly dented area raised above the
table surface.
A third approach to dealing with
the dent in the table is to leave it
alone. This will add to the charac-
ter of the table. Just imagine one of
your descendants saying "There's
the dent great-great-grandfather
put in the table back in
YOll can raise the dent in the table
by applying hot water or steam to
the compressed wood fibers. This
causes the fibers to swell, bringing
the surface of the dent closer to
level with the tabletop.
To do this on finished wood, we
suggest you apply a drop of boiling
water to the dent with an eyedrop-
per, and allow it to seep into the
compressed fibers. Careful applica-
tion of the water will limit the area
in need of refinishing after you
raise the dent.

Airborne dust is nowbeing recognized as a major
health hazard. Imagine sanding in a dust-free
environment, where 98% of the dust created by
sanding is gone.
HowIt Works
Dust produced by sanding is immediately sucked
away through holes located in the sandpaper, the
bottomofthe sander's pad, ANDaround the outside
edge of the pad (a FEIN exclusive). The extracted
dust is contained by a powerful vacuum.
Unbeatable Finishes
Typicallywhenyou sandwith normal sanders, your
sander ends up riding on a bed of dust and broken
abrasive. With the FEINSandingSystem, this "bed"
ofdust doesn't eXist. Your papercuts faster, cleaner,
andlasts up to 10times longer. Yousimplycan't get
the same finish by any other sanding method.
AutomaticVacuum
When you turn your Fein sander on, the vacuum
starts. When you switch your sander off, the
vacuum stops... automatically. The Fein Turbo II
Vacuumis built to handle large amounts ofsuper-
fine dust.

Dust-Free Sanding
Eliminate hazardous dust
Before it becomes airborne
27
Dave, sandpaper takes place when the
dust particles become trapped between the abra-
sive and the workpiece. Loading also occurs when
glues, finishes, or resins in the wood bond with the
sandpaper's surface. This bonding occurs because
of the heat generated through friction.
Unfortunately, this kind of loading can be a serious
problem when using power sanders. Although rub-
ber cleaners help clean belts and discs loaded with
dust, they don't do much good when glues, finish-
es, or resins create the loading. We suggest you do
three things.
First, try using variable-speed sanders. By slOWing
the speed, especially when sanding end-grain, you
will generate less heat, and this will reduce the
problem of resinous loading and burning. Second,
keep things mOVing, either the sander or the work-
piece, and use the full width of the disc or belt to
avoid building up heat in a single spot.
Third, use open-coated or stearated abrasive mate-
rials. Open-coated papers work well when the load
ing occurs because of dust. Chris Minick, a 3M lab
technician, explains the difference between closed
coated and open-coated papers:
papers have a surface that's completely covered
with mineral grains. But, open-eoated papers only
have 40 to 70% coverage, leaving free space that
allows dust to escape."
Stearated abrasives have a coating simjlar to soap
(appearing as a whitish or gray film on the paper)
that also reduces clogging, especially when work-
ing with recycled or resinous woods. However,
stearates are not always compatible with water-
based finishes. So, be sure to clean the work sur
face with a rag dampened with mineral spirits
before finishing. Stearated papers come under dif-
ferent labels such as 3M's Fre-eut, Norton's No-Fill,
and Klingspor's PS33.

her living at the lathe,

S
he stands seemingly trans-
fixed to the big lathe, her
right hand gripping the
gouge, her left guiding its cutting
edge along the cedar 6x6. There's
little noise except for the steady
hum of the machine and the
shearing by the [Ool's sharpened
tip as it removes wood.
Suddenly, the nerve-jangling
sound of the shop's doorbell inter-
rupts. In response, Gail Redman
puts down her turning tool and
steps toward the entryway that
Icads to the strect. WGood morn-
ing, ~ says the perky 51-year-old
after unlocking the stilkhained
door and peering oul. Precautions
such as this arc necessary in the
somewhat seamy side of San
Francisco's MissOD district.
"Mornin', G a i J , ~ says the brawny
man in jeans and crisp work shin.
Under his arm he cradles a wood-
en staircase baluster antiqued by
time and weather. ~ W a m to see
how much it'll cost me to have
you turn a dozen of these, ~ he
says, explaining his presence. .
On a regular weekday, the occur
rence above may be repeated two
or three limes in the shop of
architectural woodlurner Gail
Redman. But a busy weekday
includes a dozen such imerrup-
tions. "The drawback to this busi-
ness is the 'I-want-it-yesterday'
demands of most contractors,"
says Gail after her customer
departs with his quote. "They

A PRO AT PRODUCTION

began seeking a woodworking
job. "Auckland was like the com-
mercial woodrurning capital of
the world," she comments. "It
was unbelievable to see so much
handwork there, even in 1974."
What Gail found was a turning
industry dedicated to spindles for
furniturc. And she hadn't traveled
all that way to turn chair and table
legs. "I wanted to be a bowl turn-
er like Bob Stockdale and others I
admired," she recalls.
Bowls, though, weren't in the
cards. Yet, Gail ended lip in an
cnviable learning simation.
"There was a company called
Matloe Woodturning," she
explains. "Dave Wilcox ran the
woodturning shop. He had been
trained in England and was with-
out a doubt tlle best woodturner
I'd ever seen. He had four other
woodturners, all young men in
apprenticeship. I'd never turned
anything between centers in my
life, but Dave took me under his
wing and clued me in on a couple
The journey to down under
Refreshed by evenings in the high
school woodworking shop, Gail
managed to continue teaching for
a few more years, balancing it
whh travel to Africa and soutllern
Asia. Finally, she felt she was
ready for a move.
"I had continued to learn how to
rurn plates and bowls-the usual
stuff, b Gail explains. ~ T h e n , a fur-
nituremakcr friend pushcd me
into pursuing it. And an old friend
who had immigrated to New
Zealand encouraged me to come
down for a look. He claimed that
there was a lot of woodtllrning
going on down there. So I packed
up and headed for New Zealand.
Only I took the long way around. ~
In a nine-month period, Gail vis
ited Japan, all of Southeast Asia,
and Indonesia. Finally arriving in
Auckland, New Zealand, she

never seem to have their act
together, so I'm constantly under
pressure to get turnings out. Yet I
do love my work, and so far I've
never gotten bored with it."
Although she now modestly
claims the title of the nation's
only female architectural wood
turner eAt least I've not heard of
another who does production
work"), Gail began her wood-
working career in the shop of an
evening aduh education class in
the late I96Os. "I was teaching at
the elementary levd in some of
the San Francisco Bay Area's
(Gughest districts, ~ she recalls.
"To reduce stress, I took wood-
working, and discovered wood-
turning. ~ Yct for Gail, it was years
and thousands of adventurous,
globe-trotting miles later before
she would permanently senle into
a sntnce at the lathe.

trict. Behind are balusters for a Victorian porch railing.

play another one of the many styles of turn-
ings used in the Victorian era.
of things. One was 'Forget bowl
turning. Between centers is where
the work is.' The other thing was
that I had better learn to turn his
way, or nOt at all. So I became his
protegee, and he became God. n
According to Gail, the overhand-
ed turning technique she learned
(with her left hand on top of the
rool shaft) provides more control.
It rook a while to master. ~ I soon
discovered that when you make a
mistake in spindle turning, it pro-
duces a click sound. And when
the other turners heard me make
it, they would harass me with cat-
calls. It was all good-hearted, but
pressure just the same. ft
Gail stayed at the lathe in
Auckland for a year and a half
before deciding that it was time to
leave. In 1976 she returned home
with new skills.
Round and round: The
business of woodlurning
Back in the Bay Area, the newly
trained turner soon found a job at
the Haas Wood & IvolJ' Company,
a San Francisco firm that special-
ized in architectural woodturning.
As Gail recalls, ~ T h e i r master
woodturner was an elderly haJjan.
Even though he had learned
woodturning in Italy, his style was
very much like that of Dave
Wilcox, the Englishman 1 learned
from in New Zealand. ft
And there was little difference
between the work, except for the
wood. Down under, Gail had
turned strictly mahogany. In San
Francisco, it was redwood and a
little poplar. "But there were the
same beads, flats, coves, ogees,
and vase-shaped designs," she
says. "Once you have the shapes
down, the material doesn't matter
much. A spindle is a spindle,
whether it's a table leg or a balus
ter. It's all spindle turning." Gail
remained there about a year
before she was laid off due to a
slowdown in business.
Inspired by necessity, she decid-
ed to set up shop. "I bought my
first lathe from an old machinist
I'd met in New Zealand," she says.
"When it arrived, a cabinetmaker
friend of mine built the bed. It
took a number of months to get
the shop going, even after I
bought a bandsaw, sander, drill
press, and other tools."
To dnlm lip work for her turning
business, Gail went door-to-door
in San Francisco, calling on archi-
tecls, contractors, and interior
designers. She printed flyers and
cards, and sought referrals. "I'd
see about four or five people a
day," she remembers. "In those
days, 50 balusters would have
been a huge order, but I'd get 30.
I'd see a contractor working on a
Victorian building aod introduce
myself. To this day I've still got
customers I met that way."
More than 20 years later, Gail
speaks with a confidence built
from experience. "When I first
started, I charged $15 per hour
and it took me 25 minutes to turn
a baluster. But you learn to get
COllfllll/ed.

fast when you go into business for
yourself," she says, smiling.
I get about three times that and
do one in from S to 15 minutes,
depending on its intricacy."
Architectural turnings for
restorations represent about SO
percent of Gail's work. Yet, she
still maintains one motto that
states, job is too small." So
she turns everything from table
legs to door and cabinet pulls.
Twenty-three years of woodrurn-
ing has, however, made her more
selective. "I've paid my dues
doing the grunt work," the wood-
turner laughs. I let my
helper do all the boring produc-
tion jobs. I do the setup and turn
the first one, then leave him
alone. Otherwise, I like the smaU
runs and the pro{Qtype jobs that
have to be accurate. A woodtum-
er has to have a good eye and be
able to measure a sixteenth of an
inch at a glance. That's why I do
the intricate things. I also turn aU
the big stuff, like porch posts.
And I conduct the business."
Turning "big stuff' is the main
reason that Gail has always had
shop space in conjunction with a
cabinetmaker or furnituremaker.
"At times I need big machines to
saw, plane, or joint and get my
wood to finished rough dimen-
sions," she explains. For the past
14 years Gail has followed that
philosophy by renting space from
Richard Gatti, a locally renowned
furnituremaker who specializes in
high-end commission pieces.
Tools made to last
Gail's first lathe still occupies
space in her woodturning shop as
a fond reminder of New Zealand.
Her assistant now uses i(.
The focus of her turning,
though, is the SW-bed Dominion
lathe. The warning label that
reads "Do not adjust whilst
machine is indicates its
English origin.
A friend of mine had told me
about the company, so I called
them in Halifax and had it built to
my specifications," notes Gail.
"When they were putting it
together, I had to talk to them a
lot because they had never made a
lathe with variable speed before.
With the clear vision of hind-
sight, Gail now wishes she had

Gail uses these easily built tools
to quickly find and mark the
centers of stock-dimension
turning squares. Simply place
the finder over an end of the
wood, move it around until it
fits snugly, then press or tap
the knob to mark the center.
What turning tools
do you need? Gail has
some advice
For a basic set of woodturning
tools, Gail suggests the follow-
ing: "For roughing out small
stock, such as a 3X3, I suggest a
I" gouge. But if I had to have
only one tool, it would be my
W' gouge because I can do
everything with it. O(course, it
would take me longer, but I
could do it all-coves, beads,
even flats-they wouldn't be as
flat as if I did them with a skew
chisel, but it will work. Then,
I'd add a gouge, and a good
parting tool. And always buy
decent tools made of high-
speed steel."

How 10 hone a gouge
"First, you want a fairly long
bevel. Otherwise the steel heats
up too quickly," notes Gail.
"And avoid grinding it to a
pointy shape. YOli won't be
able to use all of the edge.
"But don't grind to sharpen,"
she adds. "A set of turning tools
lasts me about 10 years because
I don't grind them much. To
sharpen a tool, I just hone-a
couple of times a day turning
cedar. I use a [hin, fine Indian
oilstone, like the Norton FX34.
As lubric<ltion, I use two-thirds
machine oil mixed with one-
third kerosene. Wet the stone
with the oil and run the gouge
down it, using as much of the
stone as possible. When oil
appears on the gouge tip,
you're there."

use a 1W' gouge for roughing, a
%" for 6x6s, and a W' for 4x4s."
Looking at the shafts, she com-
ments, "They were all probably
10" long when I got them. I wear
them down to 3" before I throw
them oul." The tools have Stout
handles about 14" long.
"Lots of turners have these fancy
handles made from exotic woods.
They're like works of art," she
comments. "But I'm a nllts-and-
bolts type of gal. I don't have time
for those arty things. Tools with
long, strong handles give me
something to hold on to that I can
count on for big work. A short-
handled gouge is fine for intricate
cuts like finials for furniture and
drawer pulis.
"I'm not a purist, either," she
continues. "I have a real feel for
woodturning, and how things are
going with the wood. Sometimes
I'll get in there with a bullnose for
a long deep groove rather than a
W' gouge because I don't wanr to
take the chance of blowing the
wood out."
"Keep a loose wrist as you push the
bevel along the stone," Gall Instructs.
"When you see all on the tip, you've
sharpened enough on that pass."

She does it right the first time
Besides "There's never a job too
small," Gail has a.nother business
credo to gUide her. "Do it once
and do it right."
"When you cut corners 011 a job,
it always comes back to haunt
you, whether it be the quality of
the turning, or in particular, the
quality of the wood," advises the
turner. "Selecting the best wood
for the job is really important."
Gail admits that when she first
started her own business, she did
everything she could to keep her
prices down, including using
some inferior wood. "If the wood
has a little too much moisture, it
will check after it's turned," she
comments. "If it has sap pockets,
they'll eventually bleed to the sur-
face. And knots speed decay."
At first, redwood was Gail's
wood of choice for exterior turn-
ings. As the clear, straight-grained
wood of Old-growth timber began
being replaced by lesser quality
second-growth wood, however,
she switched. "Redwood started
getting pricey, and ecologically
incorrect, so I bailed out of that
market and began using Western
red cedar," she explains. "I buy
green red cedar-all first growth
out of Vancouver Island, Canada.
Then, I have it kiln-dried."
In the past few years, Gail has
also bought salvaged lumber-
old-growth redwood 6X12s and
8x8s reclaimed from bridges and
buildings, then resawn. "Redwood
nOI as good costs $30 a lineal foot
in the lumberyard," she says.
get salvaged redwood for half of
that. It all boils down to where I
can get the best-quality stock,
especially in 4x4 ,and 6x6 dimen-
sions. I can't deal with defects.
"The name of the game for me is
to do a clean job quickly, without
losing quality," she says pointedly.
"'t's a dog-eat-dog business situa-
tion here. There are too many
woodturners in San Francisco for
me to get fancy.".

1 Cut the top and bottom rails (8)
to the size listed in the Bill of Ma-
terials. Rout or cut a W groove ~ .
deep, centered along one edge of
each rail.
2 Cut rabbets along the ends of
each rail to form tenons to fit
snugly into the mortises in the
legs as dimensioned on the details
accompanying the Planter
Exploded View drawing.
3 Rout :}8- round-overs along the
top edges and W chamfers along
the bottom edges of the eight rails
(8) you'll use for the top rails. Cut
a ~ - decorative groove HJ- deep
next to the round-overs on both
sides of each tOp rail where
shown on the Top Rail detail.
4 Rout HJ- chamfers along all
edges of the bottom rails (B)
where shown on the Bottom Rail
detail accompanying the Planter
Exploded View drawing.
Cut the slats, and secure
them between the rails
1 Resaw or plane stock to \01"
thick for the slats (C, D). Then,
rip them to the widths listed in
the Bill of Materials and shown on
the Planter Exploded View.
2 Rout W' chamfers along both
edges (not the ends) of each Y./;"-
thick slat (C, D).
3 With a wide slat (C) on each
end, fit the slats (no glue neces-
sary) into the groove in the bot-
tom rail. Then, fit the top rail onto
the top ends of the slats. Clamp
and check for square.
4 Check the fit of the rail/slat
assemblies between the legs.
Glue and clamp a raiVslat assem-
bly between twO legs as shown in
the photo above. Check for
square. Repeat for the three
remaining end panels.
5 Glue and clamp the remaining
rail/slat assemblies between the
planter end panels (A, B, C, D).
Let's assemble the bench
1 Fit the slats (F) into place
betwecn the rail$ (E), using \li6"
strips as spacers between the slats
to test the fit and check for equal
gaps. Trim if necessary. Then,
gluc and clamp the slats in place,
wiping off any cxcess glue imme-
diatcly. We lIsed a 14" acid brush
to apply the glue to the grooves in
the rails (E). Now, glue and clamp
the end rails (G) in place. Check
the bench assembly for square.
2 Drill a pair of counterbored
mounting holes at each end of the
bench rails (E) and into the ends
of the mating rails (G). Drive deck
screws to secure each joint.
3 Cut .}E" plugs W' long, and glue
into the counterbores over the
deck screws. Sand the plugs flush.
4 Cut the planter shelves (H) to
shape using the Shelf Part View
dmwing for reference. Now, drill
five ~ " drain holes in each shelf.
You can either set your pots
directly on the shelves in the
planter boxes, or cut holes into
the shelves to fit your particular
pots. To extend the life of the
planters, put ported plants in the
planter boxes on the shelves. We
do not recommend filling the
planter boxes directly with dirt.
Finish and enjoy
1 Completely seal the project
. with a clear exterior finish, or
prime and paint the planters and
bench as desired. Pay particular
artention CO sealing the bottoms of
the legs (A). (We used True
Value's Trll-Test colors from their
Exterior Historical Collection of
Victorian Era Colours. We used
sedge for the main color, seahurst
for the panels and post caps, and
cameo rose for the top of the rails
and flutes.)
2 Bolt the seat assembly between
the planters. Determine the shelf
height, and add the shelf pins and
shelves. Finally, add the potted
plams and have a scat.
notches on the slats (F) at each
end of the bench asscmbly where

sary. Remove the clamps and sep-
arate the pieces.
5 Drill a pair of W' holes through
each frame end (G) where dimen-
sioned on the Bench detail accom-
panying the Exploded View.
6 Clamp a bench-frame end (G) to
one of the planter assemblies so
the bortom edge of the end (G) is
flush with the bortom edge of the
top mil (B) where shown on the
Mounting Bolt detail accompany-
ing the Exploded View drawing.
Use the previously drilled holes in
the end (G) as guides co drill the
same-sized holes through the rail.
Repeat for the other frame end
and remaining plamer.

What a difference
Spend a day in Mark Tudor's THE WOODWORKERS' PLACE
Recently, I had the chance to
get out of the office and
spend a day in one of Mark
Tudor's woodworking class-
es. What a kick! There were
actually two classes sched-
uled for that Saturday; I could
build either a potting bench
or an Adirondack chair. Since
I'm not much of a gardener, I
chose the latter, though both
designs had their merits.

With over 15 years of profession-
al experience under his shop-
apron strings, Mark set out to
teach the joy of woodworking (0
interested beginners while provid-
ing a full-service shop facility to
experienced woodworkers. Mark
found the perfect location when
he stumbled onto an out-of-service
woodworking shop built in 1923
at one of the local middle schools.

his various one-day classes. They
Include a potting bench, a sofa table, a
missIon lamp table, an AdIrondack chaIr,
a tlrewood carrier, and a Shaker bench.
After working out a lease agree
ment with the school system, Mark
reopened the shop's doors, restor-
ing it to its original function.
Inside the spacious, sun-filled
room, Mark discovered several
industrial-strength woodworking
machines in need of a lillie tuning.
TIley induded a hefty pair of band
saws, a disc sander, a jointer, a 36"-
wide planer, a lathe, and others.
To this he added several of his
own tools, then hung his sign
which proudly proclaims -THE

raday's lifestyles. Attend one of his
classes, says Mark, and you will
"build and take home a completed
piece of furniture the same day."
He adds, "People are pretty busy.
They like the idea that they can
make something substantial so
quickly and with just limited
[woodworking] experience."
Mark makes it easy for novice
and experienced woodworkers to
succeed. He offers a variety of
popular one-day project classes
(see opposite page) and a few two-
dayers. He assigns class dates to
each project (usually a Saturday).
But in order for students to enroU
in a project-building class, Mark
requires them to take his three-
hour tool use and safety course.
When students show up for
class, they receive all of the materi-
als-screws, glue, and wood-and
tools needed to complete their
project. Mark figures these, along

So what's in it for students?
Adults enjoy their time at The

friendly environment that they can
escape into." As the day progress-
es. they face a constant stream of
woodworking tasks.
learn morti.se-and-tenon joinery,
biscuit joinery, how to work with
patterns, all while using a full
range of shop tools." And they
meet people. with similar interests.
Because classes are small (Mark
limits them to eight students),
everyone receives lots of individ-'
ual help. If it's not Mark, then it's
his father Dwight, or another
craftsman/teacher. The classes
focus on machining project parts
and assembly skills rather than tool
setup. Mark or one of the other
craftsmen/teachers do this for the
students. keeping one step ahead
of the class. "People want to spend
most of their time on the
machines. That's what they come
here for, so that's how I stnlcture
the class, says Mark.
Finally, at the end of 8 or 9
hours, students leave the work-
shop with a pretty impressive pro-
ject in their anns. If you are inter-
ested in Mark's program, give him
a call at 818/584-1967.
Let the sawdust fly: a typical Saturday at The Woodworkers' Place
8:30 Class begins
TIle last of the six students signed
up to build the Adirondack chair
arrives. Mark chats about safety
and his game plan for building the
chair. He then divides the students
into teams of two and assigns each
pair to a workshop table. On these
are tape measures, pencils,
squares, and rough-cut boards
ready for patterning. Since the
chair has many patterned pieces,
our first order is to trace out the
parts prior to cutting. Above left,
Mark speeds the work by provid-
ing student Jeff Ryder with the
hardboard pattern template for the
arm/leg assembly. That way, all
patterned parts remain consistent.
9:40 Things take shape
Students turn to the stationary
power tools to cut their patterned
pieces to shape. Jennifer Nielson,

chair arms on the shop's 20"

What a difference a day makes
ing continues, more parts are cut
to shape and chair subassemblies
built using screws, glue, wood bis-
cuits, and plenry of enthusiasm.
2:35 Shop jigs to the rescue
Al intervals throughout the day,
Mark instructs the group on the
next construction stage. To ensure
that the production work moves
smoothly and that parts are
machined accurately, he includes
problem-solving jigs in many of
the machining proccsses. Here,
above left, Mark holds down one
of his custom-made router jigs
while I rout dadoes in a chair
seat/leg part placed in the jig.
Once again, safety and success arc
guaranteed.

bined seaVleg/ann subassemblies.

holes remains. Students apply fin-
ish to their projects at home.
Graduates sing the praises of their shop experience
Because woodworking was not
part of his experience growing up,
local TV station news writer Jeff
Ryder, below, jumped at the
opportunity to aucnd The
Woodworkers' Place. MI had
recently purchased an older house
and wanted hands-on work with
tools before tackling projects in
the house. Building the chair gave
me that chance. I worked with a

ent tools." Thanks to Mark's class,
Amy has become a full-fledged
hobbyist. I want to build
some Craftsman-style furniture
using quartersawn oak. It's great
haVing a shop full of tools only 15
minutes away from home. Who
can argue with that?
Pasadena high school science
teacher Paula Bush, below, first
tried her hand at woodworking as
a child, when her father showed
her how to use a handsaw. Then
came The Woodworkers' Place.
"The Adirondack chair is the first
project I ever made, and I'm very
proud of it." She also gives high
marks for the format. "I like that
the classes are small; you get more
attention. And I like spending a

a project rather than taking a
series of three-hour evening class-
es." She, tOO, will be back..

Here's the kind of place
birds dream about: a field of
seed. You can build this farm-
yard feeder fast, then enjoy
watching the birds all sum
mer long.
The field comes first
1 Cut three pieces of stock
~ x l l o 1 x 1 3 - for the edgings (A).
Rout a ~ - rabbet HI- deep along
one edge of each piece. (We did
this with a tablemounted router
and Y.z" rabbeting bit.)
2 Miter-cut the pieces to 12", cut-
ting both ends of one edging and
one end on each of the other two
(make sure they're opposite ends)
to form a Vshaped border with
the rabbeted edge inside. (Refer
to the Exploded View drawing on
page 49.)
WOOD MAG.UlNE JUNE 1997
3 Saw the base (8) to the size
shown in the Dill of Materials. Use
A-C grade exterior plywood or
some other sheet material suited
for outdoor exposure. Lightly
draw diagonal lines on one face.
Mark the lines 2 ~ - in each direc
tion from the pOint where they
cross. Bore a 2- hole at each of
the four marks.
4 Cut the flange block (C) to the
dimensions shown. Center the
block on the bottom of the base
(D), and attach it with glue and
four 3d fmishing nails. Center a -l4-
pipe flange (you'll find one in the
plumbing aisle at the hardware
store or homecenter) on the
block. Mark the mounting hole
positions, then drill a 0/64- pilot
hole I- deep at each mark.
S Glue and nail the edgings (A) to
the base (B) where shown. Note
that the edging with two miter-cut
ends fits along the shorter dimen-
sion of the base.
Make a farm for the field
1 Cut an aX13" piece of W exteri-
or plywood. Sand both faces
smooth, and apply a coat of white
exterior primer to each side.
(While you're primepainting, put
a coat on the base assembly you
just completed.)
2 Photocopy the full-sized pattern
for the farm background (0) on
the follOWing pages. Trace the
pattern outline and detail lines
onto the best side of the primed
plywood. (Spray on a light coat of
Deft clear wood finish afterwards
to prevent smearing the Jines.)
3 Scrollsaw the outside pattern
line. (We sawed ours using a #5
blade, .03ax.O16" with 14 teeth
per inch.) Fill any voids in the
sawn edge, then paint the edge
with exterior primer.
4 Paint the background scene
with acrylic paints. You can fol
low the color scheme shown,
choose your own, or paint the
buildings as a silhouette in one
dark shade. You can paint the
back of the scenic background to
match the front, or leave it in
primer, then paim it to match the
rest of the feeder.
The colors shown are titanium
white; mars black; naphthol crim-
son (red); Christmas green, Apple

Run fences along the sides
1 em fOUf 3W' lengths and two 2\07:"
pieces from W' dowel stock for the
fence posts. Cut 4" lengths of 14"
dowel for the rails. (For a rustic
look, you could usc sticks or twigs
of like sizes.)
2 Mark each 11" dowell" from one
end. At the mark, saw Vol" deep, using
a coping saw or dovetail saw. Saw or
chisel away the waste to form a rab-
bet on the end of each dowel.
3 Drill .fiG" holes It," deep where
shown in each W' doweL To hold
the dowels steady on your drill-press
table, lay them in a V-block.
4 Sand or whittle the ends of the
W' dowels to fit into the holes in
the W' dowels. Whiule a few irreg-
ular spots on all the fence parts for
a more rustic look.
5 Glue each fence section togeth-
er, referring to the Exploded View
drawing. After the glue dries, paint
the fences gray or brown.

tan shade of semigloss trim enamel
would be appropriate.
2 Auach the pipe flange to the
flange block with four #12xl" flat-
head wood screws.
3 Position the farm in the opening
at the back of the field, Fasten it in
place with weatherproof glue and
brads through the bottom of the
field assembly.
4 Cut an 1I 11 W' piece of alu-
minum or steel window screen.
Miter-cut four pieces of :Mlx:Ml"
screen molding or quarter round
(E, F) to fit inside the feeder. Lay
the screen in the boltom, and fas-
ten it in place with the moldings
and #17x%" brads.

5 Attach an assembled fence to
the edging (A) on each side.
Fasten them with glue and brads.
6 To install the feeder, screw a
piece of:M" galvanized pipe about
8' long into the flange. Stand .the
other end of the pipe in a hole
about 18" deep, then pour in con-
crete to fill the hole. Brace the
pipe to hold it vertical until the
concrete cures.

For boards too long for the
method described in Step
2, or for short boards
bowed W' or more, try this tech-
nique. With a straightedge or
chalk line, mark a line as shown
below. Then, cut along this line
with a portable circular saw or jig-
saw. If you closely follow the line
you should be able to joint the
edge straight and smooth in one
pass as described in Stet:.
,
3
Next, read the grain of the
board to determine which
end to feed first so the grain
runs udownhi1l" and away from
the cutterhead as shown below.
This helps reduce grain tearout.
Majority of grain
run "downhill" and away
from cutterhead.
First, set your jointer for a Vi6"
cur. Then, place your board on
the jointer infeed table with its
concave edge down. Make several
passes on one end of the board.
Each pass should remove more
material along the edge than the
pass before it. As the jointed sur-
face of the edge approaches the
center of the board, turn the
board around and repeat this pro-
cedure on the other end. The
jointed edges should nearly meet
in the center. By this point the
overall bow should be less than
W'. Make one or two complete
passes to straighten the edge.
workpieces with your jointer in
the typical fashion. And, you'll get
morc usable stock out of the
board. In the example below, a
board with W' bow yields three
boards each with 14" bow.
,. .. ...
.-
It's a basic woodworking role: boards need one straight
edge before you can work with them. If your board is
warped by less than 1/2" or so, it's simple enough to
power up a jointer and straighten the edge. But when
you're faced with a seriously bowed workpiece, try the
tricks here to s.traighten things out.
2
If you can't cut your board
to shorter lengths, lise this
method to joint long,
bowed stock. (We do not recom-
mend that you try this procedure
with workpieces longer than 6' if
you have a 6" jointer, or longer
than 8' if you own an 8" jointer.
For these pieces, use the proce-
dure described in Step 4.)
50
1
Before you joint a board
that's bowed by more than
W' along its length, cut the
board to shorter lengths, if possi-
ble. This may reduce the bow of
each workpiece to W' or less,
allowing you to
bo-wed stock
Now, decrease the cutting depth
to Y:sz" and make a final pass along
the entire edge of the board. If the
grain runs every which way, slow
down yOUf feed ratc to reduce
tearout to a minimum.
5
Because of the position of
defects in a board, you may
find it necessary to straight-
en its convex edge. This could
happen when the best wood in a
board is along its convex edge as
shown below. Then, it often
makes sense to straighten that
edge first so you can join the
good edge to other workpieces,
or rip thin strips from the best
wood and work toward the lesser
quality wood.
Do not attempt to straighten a
convex edge on a jointer, even if
the convex edge is bowed by less
than li". To straighten any convex
edge, follow the method
described in Step 4.
More jointing pointers to keep in mind
-The grain of highly figured
woods such as bird's-eye maple
can tear out quite easily, especial-
ly if your jointer knives aren't as
sharp as they should be. At these
times, slow down your feed t'J.te
to a crawl (just an inch or two
per second) and take light cuts
( ~ 2 " or less).
It may be difficult to tell if
you're getting a complete cut at
these shallow depths, so try this
trick. Mark a wavy pencil line
along the entire edge <IS shown
right, and make the cut. Any
remaining pencil marks tell you
lhat you need to repeat the CUl.
- Here's a good mle of thumb that
may actually save your ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ _
thumb. Whenever yOli
edge-joint a board that is
not as wide as your joint-
er's fence is high, use a
pushstick as shown right
- Remember to reposi-
tion your jointer'S fencc
across the width of the
lables from time to time.
You'll gCl more life from
your knives because they
will wear more evenly
along their lengths.

Our thanks to reader Leroy
Wagner of Glendale, Arizona,
for this outdoor project Idea.
Simple construction, good
looks, and loIs of slorage
make Ibis pOlling bench an
ideal work centerfor creating
a garden paradise rlgbt In
ur ard.
NOTE: The joinl dimensions
specified in this project are based
on the common milled dlmen
siotts of softwood lumber. Ifyour
lumber varies from tbe dimen-
sions stated in the Bill of
Materials, you'll need to adjust
the size ofthejoints.
Start with the
2x4 side frames
1 Cut the back legs (A), the front
legs (B), and the rails (C) to the
lengths listed in the Bill of
Materials from 2x4 stock. Using
the Back Leg and Side Frame draw
ings for reference, mark and then
cut the halflap joints and shelf
dadoes on these pieces.
2 Mark and cur the 31-2" radius on
the top cnd of the back legs (A).
3 Glue and clamp parts A, B, and C
in the configuration shown on the
Side Frame draWing. (We used
Titebond 11, a weatherproof glue,
to assemble aU joints in this proj-
ect.) Drill countersunk pilot holes,
and drive screws to reinforce the
half-lap joints.
Now, add the side panels
1 Rip and crosscut the top cleats
(D) and the side cleats (E) to
size. Glue and screw the cleats
around the top and sides of the
opening in the side frames.
2 Cut the side panels (F) from ~ .
thick TIII siding for a snug fit
into the side frame assemblies. cr
1II is a rough-sawn exterior-grade
54
plywood that features vertical
grooves machined into its surface.)
Plan your cuts so that the
grooves in the siding are centered
edge-to-edge in the side panels (F).
Drill four countersunk ~ 2 holes
along the top and bottom edges of
the side panels where shown on
the Carca.se drawing.
3 Place one side frame assembly
on your workbench, with the out-
side facing up. Referring to the
Carcase drawing, glue the side
panel (F) into position, and drive
screws through the holes along
the top edge of the side panel (F)
into the top cleat (0). Repeat
this process with the other side
frame assembly.
Next, make the
bottom and back
1 Cut the bottom (G) and back (H)
to size. Cut a notch in each comer
of the bottom (G) where shown
on the Carcase drawing. Next, drill
and countersink ~ 2 holes along the
ends of the bottom (G).

CURSOR LOCATION
(viewed from bollom side)
FORMING THE CURSOR
Form the cursor next
1 Cut a piece of \08" clear acrylic to
4x4". Chuck a W' Forstner bit into
your drill press, and position the
bit over the acrylic roughly where
shown on the drawing above.
Clamp the acrylic securely to your
drill-press table.
2 Start the drill press, and slowly
lower the bit until the outside
edge and centerpoint of the bit
just barely scores the acrylic.
3 Using a small square and an x-
acto knife held sideways (it scores
better this way), score the three
lines on the bottom side of the
acrylic where shown on the draw-
ing above and in the photo at left.
4 To make the centerline on the
cursor more visible, use a felt-
tipped marker to highlight the
middle scribed line. Wipe any
excess marker off the surface of
the cursor.
S Using your bandsaw fitted with
a \08" blade or a scrollsaw with a
#10 blade, cut the cursor to
shape. Sand the edges smooth.
6 Working from the bottom side
of the cursor, drill a counter-
sunk shank hole centered over
the bit centerpoint where shown
on the Cursor Full-Sized Pattern.
7 Using the Cursor Location draw-
ing for reference, form the cursor
recess on the bottom side of the

ness. A II dimensions are based
on plywood measuring exactly
3/4" thick. See the tinted boxes on
the Exploded View drawing
before locating the horizontal

1 Cut the horizontal support (E)
to size plus W' in length. Then,
cut the fence (F), radiused end
(G), and dadoed end em to size.
2 Cut the rabbet along the outside
face of the fence (F) where shown
on the Exploded View drawing.
3 Cut a \I.l"-deep dado in the inside
face of H to the same exact thick-
ness as your plywood.
4 Mark the cemerpoims, and drill
holes in H where dimensioned on
the Parts View drawing. Clamp
the end (H) to the fence (F) and
drive the screws. Drill the holes,
and screw the opposite end (G) to
the fence. Measure the distance
between the ends (G, 1-1), and cut
the horizonral support (E) to final
length and screw it in place, mak-
ing sure parts G and H meet at
right angles to part E.
5 Clamp the support (E, F, G, H)
to tile sHding table (B), and screw
the two assemblies together,
keeping the outside face of F
square to the sliding table.

Then, put a drop of
epoxy in each magnet hole, fit the
magnets into the holes, and wipe
off any excess epoxy. As shown in
the photo above righl, position
the strip of wood over the mag-
nets, and use it as a clamping bar
to hold the magnets in place until
the epoxy cures. Later, remove
the clamping block and clamps.
3 Screw the acrylic cursor in
place in the recess on the bottom
of the sliding table (B).
4 Position the sliding table (B) on
the base (A). Slide a 'W' carriage
bolt through the W' hole in the

in the sliding table (B). Slide the
two assemblies back and forth to
check the fit, then epoxy the car-

fitting joints like a profes
sional craftsman.
Editor's Note:
According to woodworking tra-
dition, you cut a mortise first
and fit the tenon to it. The tech-
nique yields Ughtfitting joints,
but reqUires painstaking trial-
anderror trimming. Deter
62
mined to find an easier way,
WODDiII magazine's Design
Editor Jim Downing developed
a new tenoning jig, detailed on
page 57, and a technique that
stands tradition on its head.
What makes a mortise-and-
tenon joint so strong?
Check ou( the construction of a
sturdy chair or table sometime,
and you'll probably find that it was
built with mortise-and-tenon joints.
When it comes to strength, few
woodworking joints match the
mortise-and-tenon. That's why this
old standby shows up so often in
leg-and-rail constmction and other
adaptations that subject a joint to
stress from several directions at
the same time.
Study the typical mortise-and-
tenon joint shown in the Anatomy
of a Mortise-and-Tenon Joim draw-
ing top right, and you'U notice
that the largest mating surfaces
contain face grain. When glued
together, these face-grain-to-face-
grain areas create exceptionally
strong bonds. This gives the joint
much greater strength than a butt
joint, in which one of the mating
surfaces contains only end grain.
Proper proportions keep both the
tenon and mortise strong.
TENON OINERY
Our jig guarantees your success
How to build and adjust the
"On-the-Money Tenoning Jig"
As mentioned in the Editor's Note,
our tenoning jig is the key to cut-
ting professional-looking joints. So
turn to page 57, and build the jig.
When you've completed it, return
here and read on.
To adjust your jig for preci-
sion cuts, start by placing the
tenoning jig on your tablesaw,
with the bar in the miter-gauge
slot. Loosen the knob on the slid-
ing table and position it so thc
fence clears the saw blade. Raise
the blade to 1n, then move the
sliding table so the face of the
fence aligns flush with the outsidc
edge of the blade, as shown in the
Adjust Your Jig for Precision Cuts
drawing, left. Tighten the knob to
hold the sliding table in place.
With the blade properly aligned
with the fence, slide the jig's built-
in steel rule until the cursor lines
up directly over the 1n mark, as
shown in Step 2. (Using the 1"
mark provides more accuracy
than trying to align the mark on
the "zcro" end of the rule.)
Now, loosen the knob on the
sliding table, and adjust the cursor
along the rule to make the desired
shoulder Width, as shown in the
drawing at left. Our example

LAYING OUT A TENON
Tips on tackling the tenon
Begin by laying out the tellon
as shown in the Laying Out a
Tenon drawing, above. A combi-
nation square, and a sharp pencil
or scratch awl work great for
transferring marks to all four
sides. For our sample project, we
made the tenon 1" long, with W'
setbacks and W' shoulders.

Rather than the traditional
method of cutting the mortise first
and fitting the tenon to it, Jim
decided to use the precision-cut
tenons produced with the tenon-
ing jig to accurately layout the
matching mortises.
jim's technique, described here,
uses a guide-block to aid in both
the mortise layout and cutting
processes. Cm using the same jig
settings as the tenon, the guide-
block ensures accurate placement
of the !llOrtise. It also keeps yotlr

ence marks when laying out

use a random-orbit sander to
avoid cross-grain scratches.
Variations for added strength
The flush joint we just showed
you works well in many applica-
tions, but you can make the joint
even stronger. By adjusting the
tenon's placement, you can
strengthen the corresponding
mortise. These adaptations work
well in leg-rail construction.
By shifting the tenon setback
(see the drawing at top left), you
cut the mortise farther away from
the end of the leg, reducing the
chance for endgrain breakout.
In some situations, the rail fits
flush with the front face of the
leg. If the tenon were centered,
the outside mortise wall would be
thin and weak. But by offsetting
the tenon, you can keep the rail
flush with the leg without weak-
ening the tenon or the mortise
wall (see drawing at lower right).
Early craftsmen used a variety of
methods to reinforce mortise-and-
tenon joints. While today's glues
will hold joints tight, using pins or
wedges, as illustrated in the draw-
ing at lower left, still bolsters
strength while lending an old-
world touch to your project.
To pin a tenon, first assemble
the mortise-and-tenon joint. When
the glue dries, drill a centered
hole completely through the joint.
Apply glue to the dowel and tap it
into place, saw off the excess, and
sand it flush.
In a through-tenon joint, the
tenon extends completely
through the mortised workpiece.
A wedge driven into the end of
the tenon effectively locks it in
place. To wedge a through tenon,
cut a saw kerf into the end of the
tenon, about three-quarters of its
length. Glue and assemble the
joint, then apply glue to a thin
wedge and drive the wedge into
the saw kerf. When the glue dries,
saw off the excess tenon and sand
it flush.

Final fitting, gluing, cleanup
Before you try fitting the joint
together, sand slight chamfers on
the end of the tenon as shown in
photo I. This lets you fit the tenon
into the mortise more easily.
Test-fit the mating workpieces
before applying' glue, and sand the
tenon or chisel the mortise as nec-
essary. Apply glue to all faces of
both sides of the joint as well as
the tenon shoulders, then clamp
the workpieces together. Use a
putty knife or chisel to scrape off
any glue squeeze-out after a tough
skin forms.
Despite the jig's accuracy, the
faces of the mating pieces may
not always align perfectly flush.

Q)ntrllmlfllg ,,;tll/or
Like any devoted woodworker
and husband, I was more than
willing to accommodate my wife
Becky's request for a new Mission-
style bed. So, after some careful
planning, I went to my local hard-
wood supplier and bought the
necessary oak-about $300
wonh. And after Becky saw how
nicely the bed turned out, she
came up with a list of about a
dozen other furniture pieces
needed for our home.
Studying the options
Although I cheerfully agreed to
undertake every project on the
list, I knew r had to come up with
a more affordable means of
acquiring lumber. So, I checked
out these alternatives:
Harvest my OW1l wood and
haul the logs to a sawmill. I've
always been able to get my hands
on good-qualiry logs (see the arti-
cle on page 98 for tips on doing
this). But, hauling the log to the
mill was a lot of work, and gave
me Little control over the finished
product. The mill charged 40
cents a hoard foot for cutting the
log into boards, and would accept
only logs from forested property
for fear of striking embedded
metal and damaging a blade.
Buy my own sawmiU. It didn't
take long to decide that I couldn't
afford a trailer-based handsaw or
circular-saw mUl, both of which
start at around $6,000. These
by milling your own lumber
make sense if you mill large num-
bers of logs, or go into business
sawing logs for other people, but
that's not what I had in mind.
Buy a handheld portable
mill. These come in two forms: a
bandsaw mill powered by a chain-
saw engine, or a metal frame that
guides a chainsaw. Both types
save you the work of moving the
log because you cut it right where
it falls. I tried a bandsaw model,
and liked its performance, but the
price (about $1,400 without
engine up to $2,000 with engine)
was too steep for me.
Then, I tried and settled on the
Alaskan MK III Saw Mill
Attachment for a chainsaw from
Granberg International (for
address see the Buying Guide at
the end of this article). The 36"
model 1 use (24"-, 30"-, 48"-, and
S6"-long models are also available)
consists of a la-pound, H-shaped
metal frame that clamps to the
saw bar. Combined with my 33"
saw bar, this SCUll' gives me 26W'
of cutting capacity.
I power my mill with a
Husqvarna 28seD that I pur-
chased at a garage sale for $]00.
The saw engine displaces 5.2
cubic inches and produces 5.5
horsepower-about the right
amount of clitting power for the
33" saw bar.
My costs besides the chainsaw
included $J89 for the MK nI, $30
for repair parts for t11C used chain-
saw, $80 for the 33" chainsaw bar,
$40 for sharpening tools, and $40
for a special ripping chain (a stan-
dard crosscut chain works, but
not nearly as efficiently).
Including other miscellaneous
items, my total investment was
less than $500. A similar setup
with a new chainsaw would cost
around $1,000.
Howa chainsaw mill works
To prepare a log for the mill, I
first cut it into 8' or 10' lengths-
whatever makes the best use of
the log. Then, I tr.im off any limbs
or burls to make the log as cylin-
drical as possible.
It takes me about to minutes to
attach the chainsaw to the MK III
frame. Then, I secure a 12'-long
2x8 fir board to the top of the log
with two 4 W' screws. The 2x8
stays stiff, flat, and straight thanks
to a pair of to'-long, UV<2x2" steel
angle irons that I mounted along
the edges on one face of the
board (see the drawing below
left). I secured the angle irons
with countersunk I Ul" screws
spaced 12" apart. The irons go
against the bark and help cradle
the 2x8 to the log.
With my eye and hearing protec-
tion in place, I set the sawmill for
a 5"-deep cut and make the initial
slabbing cut as shown in photo A.
With a sharp chain I can make
this slabbing cut through an oak
log in less than twO minutes.

Milling your own lumber often yields boards with the kind of beauti-
ful grain figure that you won't find at a lumber retailer.

SAWANDSAVE
This cut gives me a first peek at
the grain color and figure inside
the log. Even now, having Cut
many logs in all sons of species, I
still get a (hrill every time a log
reveals this inner beauty. For
example, the white oak logs
shown in this article yidded lots
of wavy grain and splotches of
bird's-eye figure as shown in
photo B. Imagining how I will use
this figure in helps make
the hours of cuuing go by qUickly.
Now, with a flat plane estab-
lished on the log, I remove the
2x8 guide and set the mill for a
1V<l"-deep cut (this yields 1"-thick
boards after shrinkage from dry-
ing and planing). I've found that
only boards 2W' or more in thick-
ness require me to wedge the cut
open to prevent the board from
pinching the saw bar.
I make successive cuts as shown
in photo C until my mill is within
an inch or two of the ground.
What remains of the log is light
enough that I can prop it up a few
inches with scrAp pieces of wood
before making the final cms. I
place wedge blocks around the
bouom of the log [Q stabilize it.
Note: Even though the maxi-
mum cutting width of my
sawmill is I once used it to
mill a log from an
oak tree that was close to 200
years old. To do this, I rotated the
log 180 after making the initial
slabbing cut and one board cut.
Then, 1 made another slabbing
cut and board cut, and rotated
the log 90. At this point 1 could
saw completely through the log
without rotating it anyiurther.
Guiding the sawmill through the
cut requires little effort on my
part. If the log is on a slight down-
hill the mill will pull itself through
the cut. About the only discom-
fort I experience is a tingling in
my hands and some stiffness in
my lower back. Padded gloves
help with the vibration. To pre-
vent my back from getting too

sore, I alternate between stand-
ing, crouching, and kneeling duro
ing the cutting. ] also take a break
after every log and go for a short
walk. I've tried back support
devices, but they seem too
restricting for this type of work.
To keep the saw cuuing effi-
ciently, I resharpen the chain after
every fOllr boards. For fast sharp-
enings I usc a cylindrical grinding
stone and a battery-powered
rotary tool such as the Dremel
model in photo D. (Gr<ll1berg sells
a car-battery-powered sharpener
that's faster yet.) Even with a
sharp chain, it may take five or six
minutes to complete cuts in the
center of an oak log.
Working this way, I can typically
make 200-250 board feet of 5/4
oak boards in a six-hour period. I
haven't had the chance to cut
softwood logs, but I would imag-
ine that the cuuing would go
much faster. I also intend to buy
an auxiliary oiler that mounts to
the far end of the bar ($33 from
Granberg). My saw's automatic
oiler doesn't put out enough oil to
keep up with such heavy-duty
use, and the auxiliary oiler should
make the cutting go faster with
less wear on the saw.
After I get my boards home, I
stack and sticker them in the
same order that they came out of
the log. (See Photo E of some of
my outdoor stacks.) This makes it

easier to match woods later dur-
ing project construction. I leave
the bark on the boards, ,Uld seal
the ends with latex paint to slow
the drying. I cover the pHe with
anything that will shed rain, typi-
cally old plywood or plastic pan-
els weighted with concrete blocks
or slabbing cuts from the milling.
After one year of airdrying, the
wood gets down to about 12-14
percent moisture content (Me). I
live in Iowa; in other areas of the
country the boards may air-dry to
a higher or lower Me. .
During the dehumidification-drying process, I check relative air humidity and tem-
perature daily. I periodically uncover the stack to check the wood moisture content.
I stack and sticker the boards ill the order they came from the log. Then, I seal the
ends with latex paint.
Then, I bring the boards down to
about 7 percent MC over a 2-3
week period using the low-tech,
but effective, dehumidification
setup shown in photo P. To make
this small kiln I first lay a sheet of
plastic on the concrete noor of
my garage workshop and stack
and sticker the boards on top of
this sheet (with the bottom
boards a few inches off the noor).
I place a dehumidifier, fan, ther-
mostat, and relative humidity
gauge next to the stack and cover
everything with another sheet of
plastic. While the dehumidifier
dries the air within this the
fan circulates air for even drying
throughout the stack.

This setup cost me nothing
because I already owned all of the
necessary equipll)ent. And, I feel
that my patient approach to dry-
ing lumber yields higher-quality
stock than I could buy. For more
on drying lumber see these issues
of WOOo- magazine:

at air-drying lumber," pages 40-41.
-June 1994, "WOOD magaZine

Pros and cons to consider
The versatility and economical
price of a chainsaw mill make it
the ideal choice for me. Other
points in favor of these mills:
-You can cut curved logs
because the mill follows the con-
tour of the log.
-I've used my mill to saw logs in
tight cily backyards that make the
log inaccessible to a trailer-based
mill. It's a lot easier to move
boards than logs!
On the other hand, I don't rec-
ommend a chainsaw mill if you
have more money than time.
You'll spend a full day dealing
with a single large hardwood tree.
Also, keep the follOWing in mind:
-A chainsaw makes a kerf, so a
lot of the log is turned into saw-
dust (especially compared to a
bandsaw mill). Since I harvest free
trees otherwise destined to be
firewood, the amount lost to saw-
dust doesn't deter me.
-You need a strong, sturdy back.
I'm in my early 40s and in average
physical condition. I hope I'm
able to handle this rig 15 or 20
years from now, but I'm not
counting on it. And that's okay
because my friends tell me I've
already amassed enough wood for
three lifetimes!
I adjust the humidistat on the
dehumidifier each day to keep the
relative humidity inside the tent at
about 30-35 percent, and the
temperature in the 85-90
Fahrenheit range. For the dehu-
midifier to work effectively, the
air outside the tent should be at
least 60. As the wood nears 8
percent MC, the temperature
inside the tent may climb as high
as 105. Then, I uncover the stack
and check the MC of the wood
with a moisture meter. At 7 per-
cent MC I turn off the dehumidifi-
er, re-cover the stack, and let the
fan run for two days just to make
sure that the entire stack has sta-
bilized at 7 percent.

A woodpecker for your door
Tapping on a door: Now,
there's a task ideally suited to
a woodpecker. With our
dandy door-knocker project,
you can have a bird on the
job in just a few hours. It
would be great on the door to
a kid's room or as a novelty
for your own front door.
First, build the bird
1 Trace the outline for the wood
peeker's body (page 92) onto a
piece of hardwood Y.!x3x6Y.!".
Either birch or basswood would
be a good choice for the painted
bird. When tracing, a straightedge
and a French curve or flexible
ruler will help you follow the
lines neatly and accurately.
2 Bandsaw or scrollsaw the body.
A \oS" bandsaw blade or a #5 scroll-
saw blade (.038x.OlS" with 12Y.!
teeth per inch) will do the job.
3 Mark the location for the loi6"
hole on the side of the body.
Using a drill press, drill the hole
through the body. Chuck Ihe V.6-
bit in a porlable drill, and drill Ihe
hole centered on the edge of Ihe
body where shown.
4 rile or sand round-overs along
both sides of Ihe head and body,
except on the beak and the tail.
For uniformiry, copy and cut out
the Round-over Radius Guide to
gauge your work. Taper the beak
to wide al the tip, and shape it
to the cross section shown.
5 Trace the lail outline and two
wing outlines ontO W stock. Both
wings fit on a Vfx2Y.lx6W piece,
and the l<liI on one Yolx2x2".
Scrollsaw Ihe Wings <lnd mil.
6 Round ovc::r the outside face of
ellch wing, utilizing the same
radius guide used for the body.
Sand a slight round-over-jusl
enough to break the sharp edge-
along the back of each wing.
76
7 Glue the tail to the body where
indicated. After the glue dries,
sand the tail ro the cross section
shown. 'n1e body and tail should
be flush on both top and bottom.
a Finish-sand the body/tail assem-
bly and the wings. Glue the wings
to the body.
9 After the glue dries, paint the
bird with acrylic craft paints. (Or,
use enamel paints if your wood-
pecker will be exposed to weath-
er.) You can follow our color
scheme or invent your own.
Make the metal feet
1 Copy the foot pattern twice.
With spray adhesive, attach the
patterns to two 2x2" pieces of
copper about 112" thick. (We

per, packaged as K&S no. 259, al
a hobby shop.)
2 Drill the hole where shown
in each foot. For drilling, clamp
the piece, with a scrapwood back-
up, to your drill-press table.
3 Cut away the excess copper
around the foot with lin snips.
111en, using your bench grinder or
drum sander and smaU fifes, finish
shaping the feet. When grinding
or power-sanding copper, remem-
ber that the metal readily con-
ducts heat and can gel hot from
friction. To grip the small foot for
filing, sandwich it between two
pieces of scrapwood clamped in a
vise. Keep Ihe guideline as close
as possible to the supporting
scrapwood pieces.
4 Flatten the feet if necessary,
using a block of scrapwood as an
anvil and a rubber or wooden mal-
leI. Sand the edges to eliminale
file and grinder marks.
5 Attach a foot to each side of the
body with a __ 2xYol- roundhead
wood screw. Leave the screws
loose enough that Ihe feet Clm
move freely on the body. Screw a

slots on the board to accept the
tabs on the woodpecker's feet.
DriU a Y16- blade stan hole at one
cnd of each slot, then scrollsaw
the slots.
3 Fit the tabs on the feet into the
slots. Mark the Spot where the
bird's beak strikes the board.
Draw a center for a mounting
hole at that point. The same dis-
tance from the bottom of the
board, draw another center for
the other mounting hole.
4 At the centers you JUSt marked,
drill !4" holes .}'I6" deep. Drill
the rest of the way through
with a bil.
S Rout a W' cove around the front
face of the board. To prevent
tearout, form the cove in twO or
three shallow passes.
6 Finish-soll1d the mounting board,
and apply a clear finish. Drill a Y16"
pilot hole near the bottom cen-
tered side to side, and screw in a
brass screw eye. Attach
the mounting board to the door
wilh #4xI W flathead wood
screws. Cover the screw heads
with mushroom plugs.
7 Put a drop of cyanoacrylate
adhesive (instant glue) at the end
of each foot tab. Then, push the
tabs into the slols. l'<lss the end of
the string through the screw eye
on the mounting board. Adjust the
length to your preference, and
pass the SIring through a hole in a
wooden ball. Knot the end to
retain the ball.

WHERE SAFETY BEGINS
"Look folks, walch me
pinch Ihe blade"
To emphasize the importance of
the spreader on his tablesaw, a
TV-workshop star took off the
guard and spreader and started to
rip a board. Halfway into the rip
he stopped feeding, reached over
and behind the blade, and
pinched the kerf closed! After my
heart restarted, I noticed he was
still smiling and talking-with all
his fingers. I have that on video.
His focus was the unwanted
saw marks where the blade was
pinched. I screamed, "What
about Aspreader does
a lot to prevent kickbacks. Yet, if
deleting saw marks is reason for
you to keep them on your saws,
okay. And at the risk of offending
those folks I watch on TV, let me
just add: "DON'T DO THAT!".
want to see the resu t. ow,
there's nothing wrong with pho-
tographing a tablesaw without a
guard to better show a setup. It's
quite another thing, though, to
start the saw and make the cut.
Send your safety-related question, stated
simply, with a SASE to:
The Safety Man,

1912 Grand Ave.,
Des Moines, IA 50309-3379.
Not all questions will be published, but
each will receive a reply.
They caution "guard
removed for clarity"
You've heard this line from
every TV personality who ever
demonstrated at a tablesaw:
"We've removed the guard
while the saw is running so you
can see better. At home, please
keep your guards in place.
Of all the foolhardy things to
say and do. Removing the guard
while the saw runs only lets you
get a better view of flying saw-
dust. I once met a blind man
who did the finest cabinetwork
around with a radial-arm saw.
How did he manage such accu-
racy? He said, twice,
cut once." The paint is, if you
do the setup right, the result will
be right. You don't need to see
the blade throwing chips; you
lar kerf. "Slick!" said the nar-
rator. My comment remains
unprintable here.
Flat blades (table or radial-
arm and circular saws) aren't
designed to cut curves. When
you force them, you risk a
violent kickback. Sometimes
it's hard enough to cut per-
fectly straight let alone try
any freehand saWing.
Would you believe Z
cross-handed cutting?
A certain craftsman does this
frequently when miter-cuttin
on his radial-arm saw and
mitersaw. He places the board
to the right of the blade, holds it
with his left hand-across the
blade's path-then puUs the saw
through the cut with his right
hand! The fact that he still
retains his left hand isn't testi-
monial to talent, just luck. Far
too many people have lost a
hand or hacked a forearm by
cross-hand cutting. U you have
to cross your arms to make the
cut, don't make it.

then with no guide, fed the
board freehand to saw an irregu

hanks for the good let-
ters you sent In response to
my last column ("Kickback:
Don't let it happen to you,"
WOOD@! magazine, October
1996). I promise I'll answer your
best questions the next time
around. For this column, though,
I have to deal with something
that recently got to me-my reg-
ular weekend fare of woodwork-
ing and do-it-yourself television
programs. Many TV hosts com
mit blatant safety errors, and no
one takes them to task.
When someone does something
clearly unsafe, I want to shout:
"DON'T DO THAT!" Sure, inad-
verrell"t slips happen. It's the
"don't try this at home" sluff that
upsets me. Here are some made-
for-TV examples to show you
what I'm talking about.

WOOD ANECDOTE
LIVE OAK
The tree that
keeps you raking
Travelers through the Deep South
marvel at the eerily beautiful live
oak trees with their draping of
Spanish moss. From southeastern
Virginia down the coast and along
the Gulf of Mexico into Texas, this
easily transplanted tree has long
been popular as an ornamental.
Homeowners and others charged
with grounds-keeping chores
soon learn how the live oak
(Quercus virginiana) got its
name. Because the tree constantly
grows new leaves, it is forever
green, and thus live. However. the
new leaves replace those that full,
which means constant raking for
the fastidious. And with a tree that
frequently has branches extend-
ing three times as broad as its
height, that's a lot of labor.
Although now seldom used For
commerciaJ purposes, the hard,

strong, and heavy wood of live
oak was historically quite impor-
tant. When ships were made
entirely of wood, live oak provid-
ed the material for the angular
pans of a ship's frame called the
-knees. These were sawn from
the nearly 60 junction of the
tree's trunk with its large roots.
TIle natural knees thus Imd inter-
locking grain that proved much
stronger than straight timber cut
and joined to the same shape. The
U.S. government thought the
wood so valuable for the coun-
try's ships that by 1845 it had
acquired about 250,000 acres of
live oak timberland in the South
as a future reserve. But as the
days of saiJ and wooden ships
passed, the larder of live oak land
was returned to the public for
eventual settlement.

kiln that excels at drying
any thickness of wood.
Vacu-Kilns use aunique
low-temperature/high
vacuum system to dry
8-10 times faster than
conventional kilns without
degrade. warping, or
checking. Short lengths
and squares are handled
easily because no
stickering is required.
Isn't it time you

and savings of drying
your own lumber?

How to find free, high-quality logs
SAW YOUR OWN LUMBER AND SAVE
and politely
your reasons.
That same per-
__,/ son, or some-
one they know, may some day
offer you the log of your lifetime.
-Inquire about housing develop-
ments or other projects in your
area where trees wiIJ be cleared.
When a freeway was planned to
go through a wooded area, I con-
tacted the landowner. He had
sold the logging rights to a lum-
ber company but told me I could
take what the loggers left behind.
The lumber company spared any
tree under 24" in diameter, so I
had plenty of good trees to
choose from. In the time after the
loggers left, and before the high-
way crew bulldozed the proper-
ty, I milled 25 oak and walnut
logs that would have gone up in
smoke. I was in heaven!.
tree is within falling dis-
tance of a home or other
structure. It just isn't worth the
risk. I will offer to cut the limbs
into firewood if the tree is felled
by a tree service. Often, a tree
service charges extra to haul
away a large log or cut and chop
it into firewood. Recently, I saved
a property owner $150 by sawing
up a log left by a tree service.
- Before committing to take a log,
drop by to inspect it. Don't waste
your time on any log that's less
than 12" in diameter, or too full
of defects. If it's obvious that the
tree contains nails or other metal
from such things as tree forts,
bird feeders, or barbed wire, then
take a rain check. The metal will
dull your chain, and the wood
will be stained around the metal.
-If you decline to cut down a
tree or take a log, explain fully
I don't own any forested
property, yet [ have more
logs offered to me than I can
cut into boards. Here are
some things that I've done to
keep the logs rolling in.
Get the word out. Once people
know that you are looking for
logs, you'll get all sons of offers.
Most people don't have any idea
what a chainsaw mill is or how it
works, so I take the time 1O fully
explain the process to them.
Many people feel an emotional
attachment to large trees on their
properlY, and they're oftcn
intrigued with the notion that
the tree will "live on" as lumber
in projects. For good public rela-
tions I sometimes offer to make
for the property owner a small
project from apiecepf the rree.

in exchange for the lumber if the

an Hour-

Make no mistake-the number of home
inspections being done each year is on the
rise. With today's low home mortgage interest
rates, real estate sales are
and mortgage companies often insist that a
home inspection be conducted by a qualified
professional prior to sale. This means an
incredible increase in demand and in money-
making opponunities for lraioc>d Horne
Inspectors. Qualified Home lnspectors are
eaminganywherc from $10010 $300 per

Saw vises tum up at flea markets
and garage sales, often at reason-
able prices. (You may find your-
self hailed as an antique-tool
expen simply by identifying one
of these things and knowing what
it does.)
While a saw vise has curiosity
value, it still comes in handy today
doing just what it was intended
for all those years ago-holding
your handsaw while yOll touch up
the teeth.
clamp for temporary attachment,
as shown. Fancier models offered
such deluxe features as rubber-
lined jaws and ball-and-socket
adjustment at the base.
On the vise shown, lever A
opens and closes the jaws by cam
action. The lever swings about
90
0
from fully closed to fully
open. Lever B adjusts the angle of
the vise to the bench. A coarsely
threaded pivot bolt screws into
this lever, so it, too, loosens and
tightens with minimal movement.
These quick-acting adjustments
allow fast saw positioning.
The saw vise's throat depth
lets It grIp the blade Just
belowthe teeth, shown right.
Levers, right and beloM/,
allow users to open and
close jaws (A) and set vise
angle (8) quickly.
M
ost of us cut wood today
on a tablesaw equipped
with a carbide-tipped
blade. Those hard carbide teeth
stay sharp for a long time. And
even when they aren't perfectly
sharp, the saw mOlor JUSt works a
bit harder to compensate.
Not so long ago, though, hand-
saws were the norm in wood-
worldng shops. '111Cse saws didn't
have hard carbide teeth, and they
dulled quickly in hard woods.
Because a dull saw translated
directly imo harder work for the
craftsman, keeping saws keen was
an ongoing concern. Many wood-
workers sharpened their own to
save both money and time.
Filing the teeth on a handsaw's
hardened and tempered blade was
relatively easy. Holding the saw
while filing the teeth, though,
posed a greater challenge.
That's where the odd-looking
contraption shown right came in.
The saw-sharpening vise-also
variously known as a saw clamp,
saw-filing vise, or saw vise-
gripped the saw by the blade.
With the blade held rigidly at a
convenient angle, as shown top
right, the craftsman could con
centrate on filing the teeth uni
formJy and accurately.
The vise shown typifies those
available from around the tum of
the century until the 1940s. A
number of makers offered a vari-
ety of models, most with easy-
opening and -closing jaws about
9" long. While some were
designed for permanent bench
mounting, the majority featured a

-20" scroUsaw. This machine
has arms that move via a double
parallellink mechanism similar to
that found on Excalibur scrollsaws
by SommerviUe Design. The saw
has tool-free blade changing, and
up-front controls for on/off, speed
(300- J750 spm), and blade ten
sion. DeWalt officials expect the
saw to sell for less than $500. Like
the next two products, you
should find the model DW788 on
store shelves in May.
-121/-.1" portable thickness
planer. Similar to other new
portable planers, this model has a
head that locks on four steel posts
to decrease sniping, and should
sell for $450 or less. Unlike other
thickness planers, the model
DW733 has a rotating depth
stop-much like the [UITet stops
on plunge routers-for returning
to preset thicknesses.
_12" double-bevel sliding com-
pound mitersaw. With a lr
blade that bevels 45 lert and
right, and miters 50 left and GO
right, the DW708 offers consider-
able cutting capacity. It should
sell for $650-$700.
You can expect more benchtop
tools from DeWalt, but company
officials declined to be specific
abollt what additional tools, or
when they'll hit the market..
W
hen DeWalt makes a big
move in the power tool
business, its competitors
take notice. After all, DeWalt
portable power tools didn't even
exist prior to 1992. But, it has
since captured 40 percent of the
portable professional power tool
market, according to DeWaJt (its
competitors peg the number
slightly lower). Not surpriSingly,
DeWalt's new benchtop tools
have the industry buzzing.
Here's what we know about
DeWalt's first four models in this
new line. We briefly worked with
some prototype versions of these
machines (like the planer below),
but we'll reserve making any buy-
ing recommendations until we get
a chance to give some production
samples a thorough shakedown.
So stay tuned!
_10" tablesaw. Unlike other job-
site saws, this 64-pounder has
telescoping fence rails that give it
24ltS:- of rip capacity. And, DeWalt
says a rack-and-pinion system
keeps the fence parallel to the
blade. The direct-
drive model DW'744
will be available in
July for under $600.

Still sawing, and sawing, and sawing
Referred to by many commercial
woodworkers as the Cadillac of
radial-arm saws, the DeWalt line
was discontinued by Black &
Decker in the 19805. The
Lancaster Machinery Company of
Pennsylvania next built the saws
under the Original Radial Arm
name until 1990. Then, the com-
pany was sold lO a Britt, Iowa,
fiml that still makes new ones.
But Wolfe Mac;:hinery, of
Johnston, Iowa, believes in the
first version of the DeWalt radial-
ann. So it now offers completely
refurbished and warranted mod-
els, service, new replacement
parts, and safety upgrades to
meet OSHA, ANSI, and insurance
standards. According to Chuck
Wolfe, head of the company, the
timeworn DeWalt saws are care
fully restored to original factory
standards and should last 30-40
more years. The 8-46" saws (the
largest arc called cut-
ters") sell for up to 50 percent
less than comparable new saws.
For details, call 8001345-6659 (fax
5151270-0628) or write Wolfe
Machinery Co., P.O. Box 497,
Johnston, lA 50131-0497.

Lunker lures
Sparked by the article "In search of
Moby Dick" on this page in the
September 1995 issue, reader
James Elliott of Ellwood City,
Pennsylvania, sent in the photo
below. It's Ed Latiano, a friend of
Jim's, with some giant-sized replica
fishing lures that he made from old
cedar telephone poles.
Ed, 86, has been making function
al wooden fishing lures for over 50
years. He [Urns them on a lathe,
then paints them with an airbrush.
He sells large ones, such as those
shown, to collectors and tackle
shops for display.
Below: Itanglug from the ralilng In (ront
of Ed Latlano arc repUcas of famous lures
from the pallt. From left, Hcddon Vamp,

Sity, says Norman O'Bryan, presi-
dent of the Indiana firm that
developed and markets the
trees.
Not only docs the new walnut
variety produce more veneer
grade wood faster, tests at the
USDA Forest Products Laboratory
in Madison, Wisconsin, indicate
that the wood has a higher densi-
ty and shock resistance than
other walnut. The greater density
means that it planes, shapes, and
turns better. Contact American
