thebox!
The bits available in the Freud 16 Piece Forstner Bit set
are now available individually. These individual bits
range in size from 1/4" to 2lAl" in 1/8" increments. A
special heat treated steel is used in their production to
assure long lasting edges.
The shanks are 318" in diameter on all but the 1/4" bit
That shank is 1/4/1 in diameter. These Forstner bits can
be used with either a drill press or a portable drill.
You will find these Freud bits will produce a cleaner
hole and offer more accuracy and versatility than other
Yv'OOd'NOrking bits.

Ripping various widths of mate-
rial on a radial arm saw requires
a lot of setup time. How can you
speed things uP?
TIP: With the radial arm blade set
for ripping, turn on the saw, lower
the blade, and cut a VI6"-deep
groove in the tabletop. Then pull
the blade slowly toward and then
away from you to create a dished-
out groove.
Glue a paper or cloth tape meas-
ure to the bottom of the groove.
When you're ready to rip, set the
blade so that it just clears the
scale. Now you don't need to raise
and lower the blade each time you
set up to rip a different width of
material.

We found an error in one of the
shop tips on page 14 of our last
issue (December, 1986). The tip,
from Robert A. Grace, St. Joseph,
Mich., shows how you can tell if
you're drilling level with spade
bits. You slip a washer over the
drill bit shaft. If the washer neither
climbs up nor walks down the
shaft, you arc holding the bit level,
as shown in the drawing below. In
the last issue, we ran the drawing
sideways, with the bit pointing
down If you saw this drawing,
you might have wondered how we
made the washer defy the law of
gravity! The draWing below should
clarify things.

SLIPSLIDING AWAY
NO MORE
Small workpieces can be hard to
clamp or fasten to the workbench
for sanding or planing.
TIP: Use double-faced tape to
secure strips of used sanding belts
- the coarser, the better - to
your workbench top. The sand-
paper helps keep pieces of wood
stationary while you safely sand or
cially well if you need both hands
to operate the tool.
- From the WOOD shop
DO THE CLAMPING
lWOSTEP
Unless you have help, struggling
with pipe clamps to clamp a
mitered box or frame for glueing
can be tough.
TIP: Call a strap clamp to the res-
cue. Glue and assemble the project
at the workbench. First secure it
with a strap clamp and then beef
up the clamping process with pipe
clamps, as shown.
- From thc WOOD shop
THE ELIMINATOR
Vibrating metal power-tool bases,
stands, and cabinets create a lot
'
Of noise pollution in the shop.
TIP: Here's how you can cut out
a lot of that noise permanently in
short order. Disassemble the stand
or base and apply a bead of a good,
low-shrinkage construction adhe-
sive - Franklin's Premium 5661 is
one brand - anywhere metal parts
touch. When it's reassembled, you
should notice quite a substamial
reduction in noise when the
machine runs.
- Robert M. Vaughan, Roanokc, Va.

 NYLONSMoom FINISH
Polyurethane makes a great fin-
ish for many projects, but clean-
ing brushes aJter use often takes
longer than applying the finish.
And wit/J quick drying products,
brush marks can also be a
problem
TIP: Ask someone to save you a
few pairs of discar(~ed panty hose
or nylon stockings. Cut the hose
into 6" -long strips and use the
wadded strips to apply the finish.
Dispose of the strip after use. No
brushes to dean and you get a
~nylonsmoothn fmish with no
streaks or brush marks.

TIP: Glue a piece of felt or apply

the desert like rnC5quite tree, for instance,
thrives in desert country from
do-it-all Argentina north to the southwcst-
ern United States by searching for
water with an extensive lateral
root system. It also sends taproots
far into the earth. In fact, mesquite
roots have been discovered 174'
below ground in a copper mine!
Not only do mesquite's meander-
ing roots stem erosion of the
desert's fragile soil, they also
enrich it with nitrogen. But meso
quite's role doesn't end there.
When the desert blooms, this
small tree's flowers yield nectar for
a delectable honey. Later, when the
sun scorches other plants, its seed

Woodworker-friendly calculators
In a world of calcu-
lalOrs that operate on
the decimal system,
these two speak wood-
worker's language -
fractions.
The mechanically
operated Fractron Cal-
culator works like a
circular slide rule; it
quickly and easily adds
and subtracts fractions,
giving its answer to the nearest V64".
To add with it, you just insert a
pencil or pen point into the hole
next to the first fraction in the equa-
tion, and rotate the dial clockwise
until it stops. Repeat the process for
each fraction you want to add. To
subtract a fraction, you Simply
reverse the direction of rotation.
The Construction Master e1ec-
tconic pocket calculator quickly
solves practically any problem
involving fractional dimensions.
With it, you can add, subtract, mul-
tiply, and divide, in feet, inches,
and fractions (to 1/6 4 "), as well

A Link with the Past
Built in 1963, the Bluenose II is the last of the Tall Schooners.
She paraded in the Tall Ships ceremony at OpSail 1976 and again
sailed proudly at the Liberty Weekend OpSall on July A, 1986.
She's an exact replica of the original Bluenose, a Canadian fishing
schooner that outraced New England's fastest fishing vessels in
the Twenties and Thirties, landed record catches
of fish, and even ran rum during Prohibitionl

Today, yellow poplar

Yellow poplar can be

Dave Jordan's
Specialty...
RUS,.IC
REDWOOD Gil
 At Lake of the Ozarks, Dave Jordan crafts them
freehand, and tells you how it's done
n his "Rustic Redwood Signs"
I shop, Dave zips through red-
wood boards, cedar boards, and
oak recipe-box lids 12 hours a day
from latc May to September. In a
busy month (as it is most of the
summer) he'll go through 7,000
board feet of redwood alone! And
the routing is all done freehand.
Name a name and Dave's probably
cut it into wood. Last names, first
names, pets names, boats names,
business names - he's made them
all. And quickly.
"A Pantograph or anyl.hing else
for routing lettering just plain
slows you down. With those things
you can't make a sign as fast, or as
personally handcrafted, as you
can freehand," Dave explains.
Fast, yes! nUl dangerous? "About
the only thing lO worry about is
getting dust or wood chips in your
eyes. No one would have trouble
holding a router back," he says.
PRACTICE, THEN PRACTICE
SOME MORE
Freehand routing does take lots of
practice, though. And while Dave
is accomplished now, he practiced
plenty at first.
WOOD MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 1987
He got started making signs quite
by accident. Someone SlOpped by
his home and asked if he could
make one for them.
"1 didn't know how, but said I
would. That night 1made it with
a router, a round-point bit, and a
pine board. The guy liked it. Right
then I went out and bought some
redwood and practiced every night
until r thought my signs looked
good enough to sell. I won't sell
anything if I'm not proud of it."
Since then, Dave has added
routed-in scenes, landscapes, build-
ings, flowers, hearts, cows, pigs, and
horses to his Signs. But Dave draws
the Hne at pets like a dog or a cat
"A woman asked me once if I
could put a likeness of her dog on
her sign. I said 'Sure, bring me a
photograph.' She did and I painted
Spot on the sign for an extra S1.50.
I didn't think i[ looked bad, but to
her it just wasn't her dog. I asked
her, 'What do you want for S1.50,
a color portrait?' So I refuse to
do dogs or cats. They're too per-
sonal. You can't, no matter how
much you try, paint pets to the
owner's satisfaction."
With a paintbrush, Dave is no
ntil we met Dave Jordan, 40
U (that's him at left), we really
hadn't given sign making much
thought. But with his freehand
routing technique he turns Ollt
such great looking signs that we
had to learn just how he does it.
With Lori, his wife and partner,
and son, Sean, Dave lives at Lake
Ozark, Missouri - a popular vaca-
Rembrandt. That's why Lori does
most of the painting on their red-
wood Signs. Bue give Dave a routcr
and you'll see pure artistry. Among
the craftsmen that call themselves
"redwood cutters", Dave has proven
by his products that he ranks among
the best.
TRICKS OF THE TRADE
Dave maneuvers his router through
a board like a snake through prai-
rie grass. In learning to do so, he's
picked up a few tricks of the trade.
The first, using the right wood.
Dave goes right 1O the lumberyard
to select his -%"-thick, knotfree,
clearheart-grade redwood. Even
beyond that, he's finicky. "The
closer and tighter the grain, the
better it works for free-handing,"
advises Dave. "I test mine by run-
ning my finger across it If the nail
bumps over the tiny ridges, you
know the router will do the same
thing. Sometimes you can turn the
board over and rout, but if you
can't, don't use it"
The minor amounts (compared
to redwood) of Tennessee red
cedar and white oak he uses pose
other problems with no easy solu
tions. The cedar naturally has knots,
which he routes around; the oak
he battles through because it's just
plain tough.
Dave has also reversed the han-
dles on his over-thecounter, I-hp.,
Hitachi plunge router. This lowers
its center of gravity and makes
it easier to control from a low,
tabletop working position. He
also removed the subbase for
COlli fill/cd
lion spot. From their shop they scll
signs co tourists as souvenirs of an
Ozark visil. During the off-season
the Jordans travel to shopping
malls to market their signs.
Dave made the switch from
crafting kitchen accessories to
routing redwood about II years
ago, and now, as you'll learn, he's
a master at it.

To eliminate dust problems, Dave
jury-rigged a collection system.
He mounted an upholstery nozzle
from a household carpet vacuum
to the back of his routcr so that he
can connect it with a hose to his
shop vacuum.
Dave prefers to use 1/2" carbide
tipped, V-groove chamfering bits
(which only stay sharp about a
month) for most of his lettering.
RealI}' large signs call for the wider
letters cut by a 4 bit.
What about clamps? '"'"cy only

the stock from slipping he glued
down a 12 x 30" piece of industrial
sanding belt to his workbench top.
The rOulcr's weight, plus the coarse
abrasive grit biting the wood, keep

HOW DAVE ROUTS HIS SIGNS
If Dave followed his instincts, all
his signs would end up reading
backward. lbat's because he has
dyslexia - the tendency to reverse
letters and words. ~For the first few
years we were in business, Lori
had to doublecheck all spelling
because I could cut a name back-
ward as fast as forward. Names stiD
look better to me backward," he
muses. So to be safe, Dave takes
the name to be routed right off
an order form Lori filled out.
In marking the letters down on
the board with a grease pencil,
Da,re doesn't measure, calculate
exact spacing, or use any kind of
ruler or layout device. IJke his
routing, he frcchands thc lettering,
too, never planning to follow the
lines anyway. They serve only to
guide. "If I end up with too much
space on either side after the rout
ing, I'll fudge with the design for
balance," he says. ~I like to use as
much of the board as possible so
the letters will be large and read-
able. That usually works to be
about threefourths of it."
With the letters penciled on, Dave
sets the router's cutting depth to the
top of the bit's Vshape, and explains:
"Most beginners think that the
shallowcr you cut, the better for
freehanding. But you can't control
shallow cuts. You have to cut deep.
This gives the bit morc wood to cut,
causes drag, and allows you more
control."
The rOuter screeches as Dave
begins to cut. He guides it down
the straights and through the curves
of the serolly, Old Englishstyle let-

38 WOOD MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 1987

tees that he favors as fast and fearless
as a Grand Prix racing driver.
His forearms resting on the work-
bench, Dave's wrists and little fin-
gers direct the routing. The plunges,
the lifts, are barely visible as the
router moves across the sign board.
Twelve letters take him less than
two minutes!
Dave doesn't make many mis
tak~, and he never goes back to
correct one. "I'd rather leave that
little nick. Fixing it makes a thicker
letter that looks worse than the mis
take. Just keep the flow going."
ADDING THE FINISHING
TOUCHES
To highlight thc routed letters,
Dave sprays the signboard with
flat-black, oilbase enamel, then
dries the paint in front of a fan,
In five minutes, the sign's ready
for sanding. and Dave moves it to
the sanding bench. The board fits
between the two wood strips he's
fastened to the bench in the shape
of a framing square. Like a park-
ing brake, the SU'ips keep the
board from being moved by the
belt sander.
Dave guides the belt sander
lightly over the sign. He removes
black paint from aU areas except the
routed letters, the edges, and cuts
that form part of the landscape Lori
will paint on in acrylics.
In the sales area of the shop, Lori
divides her time between taking
orders, painting, and collecting
money for the signs. She often seems
to do all these jobs at once- talk
ing to customers as she dabs on
green, then bluc, and tending the
register with a wet paint brush in
hand. Yet, the shapes emerge: trees,
a pond, a country cottage. The
theme the customer has chosen
highlights and supports the letters,
making the sign a one-of-akind, per
sonali7.ed artwork.
1\1/0 coats of dear, exterior-type
polyurethane varnish to withstand
the elements, and the sign is ready
for the customer to take home and
hang. Dave stands behind his prod-
uct, too. "Satisfaction guaranteed or
your money back." But returns are
negligible. Dave likes to say that
his rustic redwood signs "will go
through anything but a divorce."

CUTTING CUIIV_S-
When you need to cut sim-
ple curves in flat stock, you
head for the band saw, right?
But it's a shame to limit such
a versatile machine to that
one simple task. In fact, the
band saw does a wider vari-
ety of cutting chores than
any other saw in our shop.
On the following pages, we
share our versions of seven
band-sawing techniques you
can use to start - or add to-
your collection. They're
simple and inexpensive, and
help expand the usefulness
of this machine considerably.

HOW TO MAKE
STRAIGHT CUTS
Ever try making long, straight cuts
using the rip fence on your band
saw? If your results came out like
ours, you were probably disap.
pointed. The reason: Band saws use
thin, narrow, flexible blades -
great for cutting curves, but poor
performers on the straightaways.
Most bandsaw blades, we found,
want to wander a bit off me cut
line, no matter how accurately we
set the fencc. (The large band saws
used for resawing lumber Iresaws I
are a different breed - they usc
blades 2" or wider.)

Enter, the pivot block

Rather than tr)' to make our band
saw cut straight with a rip fence,
we use a pointed pivot block and
maneuver the stock to keep the
blade on the cut line_ A simple
solution and it works great!
Actually, we prefer to do most
of our ripping and resawing on
the table saw becausc the rigid,
circular blade makes a straighter,
cleaner cut. We've made a special
table-saw jig to help resaw wide
boards, featured in the anicle, How
To Resaw Safely, in the October,
1985 issue of WOOD.

40 WOOD MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 1987

&liD MUCH MOII_
How to make
the pivot block
We use two slightly different kinds
of pivOt blocks - one for ripping
and one for resawing, as shown in
the photos. The piVOl used for rip-
ping (photo A) also works for cut
ting parallel curves, UJhoto C).
Make the block the same height
as !.he thickness of the stock you're
ripping, or the width of stock
you're resawing. Notice that the
resawing pivOl block we used in
photo B was made for wider stock
than the walnut board being
rcsawed. In this case, !.he block
worked fine, but ideally you should
lower the saw's blade guides as
close to the top of the work as
possible for maximum blade sup-
port. For help in making a pivot
block, see the drawing below.
Note: When making the pivot
block, be sure the pivot point
(front edge) mid base form a pre-
cise 900 angle, as shown in the
drawing. below left. Otherwise, the
pivol poinl won1 be square 10 Ibe
blade when you square the saw
lable and clamp Ihe block to it
Using the block
First, select the widcst blade your
saw will handle, because the wider
the blade, the straighter the cut.
Square the table with the saw
blade. Then, mark the cut line on
the stock and position the mark
against the saw blade. Clamp the
pivot block to the saw table and
~2'" PIVOT BLOCK

blade to edge

WOOD MAGAZtNE FEBRUARY 1987
against the stock. Adjust the block
so the blade cuts to the outside
cdge of the mark. Be sure to align
the block's pivot point with the
cutting edge of the blade.
Note: When marking a piece for
cutting, allow cm additional I/S"
thickness for planing or jointing
to final dimensions.
With the block clamped in posi-
tion, testrun a piece of SCr.lp
wood through the saw to get the
feel of the procedure and to make
sure the cut will be accurate. [f
you're resawing, the stock must be
vertically squarc to the blade, or
the resawn pieces will be tapered
across their width. With the pivot
block square to the blade and the
stock square to the pivot block,
you should not have a problem.
Feed the stock slowly into the
saw, using one hand to guide the
tr.liling end as necessary to keep
the blade on the cutting line. Use
your other hand to hold the stock
firmly against me pivot block.
Once you get the hang of it, you'll
make straight cuts every time.
HOW TO CUT
PRECISE PARALLEL
CURVES
You can also use the pivot block to
make curved parallel cuts. In use,
it does essentially the same thing
as for straight cuts: It maintains a
uniform distance between the edgc
of the piece and the cutting line.
To curve stock with it, layout
and mark the first curve cut on the
stock, then cut it freehand on the
band saw. Sand the cut to remove
any rough spots.
Next, set a pencil compass or
dividers to the desired width and
mark the second (parallel) curve
on the stock, using the first curve
as a guide. Align the saw blade
with the mark for the second
curve and cut about I" into it.
Thrn off the saw and clamp the
pivot block to the table, against the
curved edge already cut. For accu-
r.lcy, make sure the pivot point
aligns with the cutting edge of the
saw blade.
C:uide the board slowly through
the saw with one hand while hold-
ing the board against the pivot

QUICK CHAMFERS
ON A "BACKWARDS"
FENCE
If you usually cut chamfers on the
band saw with the rip fence posi-
(joned on the downhill side of the
stock, the notched-fence setup in
the photo at right may look back-
wards at first glance. But look
again! With this fence you can cut
the same size chamfer on any
straiglu edge of any size or shape
piece without having to reset the
fence for each cut. So you can
chamfer rectangles, octagons,
triangles, and similar geometric
shapes (not curved pieces).

How to make the fence

From a squared piece of swck, cut
the fence slightly longer than the

WITH HELP
FROM OUR TABLE
EXTENSION
Cutting circles - especially table-
top-sized ones - always challenges
us. But the sturdy band-saw table
extension shown here makes the
job unbelievably easy and cuts
perfect circles every time.
The secret lies in the four ball-
bearing casters inset into the table
extension. They allow large, heavy
pieces of stock to spin around the
extension's pivot point almost
effortlessly.
Building the table
If you build the extension to the
dimensions shown in the drawing
at right, the maximum radius you
can cut will be 19" plus the dis-
tance between the blade and the
front edge of your saw's table (7"
on our saw, including thickness of
angle brackets). With our setup we
can cut circles up to 52" in diame-
ter. You may extend the table
extension length in order [0 cut
larger circles with it.
How to use the
extension table
AUach the table extension to your
saw table as shown in the drawing
table extension perpendicular to
the fronl edge of the saw blade.
Determine the radius (1/2 the
diameter) of the circle you want
to cut. Then, transfer this measure-
ment to the table extension by
measuring out from the saw blade
along the centerline of the exten-
sian, as shown in the photo above.
This point will be the pivot for the
circle you'll be cutting. Drill a
small hole into the table extension
at that point and insert a small fin-
ish nail upside down. Let about lilt
of the point protrude.
From the material you're using
for the circle, cut a square sheet 2"
larger than the diameter of the cir-
cle you want. Then cut a I"-square
notch at the center of one side to
admit the saw blade.
On the boUom side of the piece,
draw a centerline from the cen
terpoint of the notch you cut to
the opposite side of the piece.
Position the piece on the table
with the saw blade flush against
the back of the notch. Now, lower
the workpiece onto the cable
extension. Line it up so the pro
truding nail aligns with the cen-
terline marked on the bouom side
of the piece. If necessary, tap the
workpiece to drive the pivot nail
inw it, firmly enough so the piece
will be stable when rotated.
Start the saw and slowly rotate
the workpiece to cut out the cir-
cle. On large circles, we use a por-
table jigsaw to remove the outside
waste pieces w keep them from
flopping or breaking off.

Note in the drawing at right,
that the trammel hefUl itself mea-
sures only 12" long, so it won't
take up much s(Qrage space in
your shop. With it, you can quickly
and easily cut arcs in boards up to

longer boards, you ~n attach a
backer strip to the trammel head
with two screws, to support the
long workpiece.
COMPOUND SAWING
TECHNIQUE FOR
3-D CUTOUTS
By sawing on two adjacent sides
of the same piece, you can make
three-dimensional cutouts quickly
and easily on a band saw. 1)rpica1
applications include carving blocks,
cabriole chair legs, and toy boat
hulls such as the one we show
being cut- in the photos at right
You can either make paper pat-
terns as we did, or simply draw
thc patterns on the workpiece.
STACKING UP YOUR
DUCKS FOR
MULTIPLE CUTOUTS
Here's an easy way to make dupli-
cate ducks and any other multiple
cuts on your band saw - just
stack the pieces.
To keep the stack from shifting
whilc Cutting, stick the pieces
together with doublefaced cloth
tapc. We found this tape holds bct-
tcr than doublefaced paper tape
and readily comes off the wood.
Whcn cutting, use the widest
blade possible for the curves to
be cut (see the blade size chart)'
How to make the trammel
Cut the trammel beam to a length
that equals the distance from the
band saw blade to the end of your
table extension, minus the width
of the trammel head. For other
dimensions, refer to the drawing
at right.
The arc trammel -pivots on a
metal trammel point that clamps
to the trammel beam. See photo at
right. The farthcr back you attach
the trammel point on thc beam,
the larger the radius of the arc you
can cut. You can buy trammel
points at most hardware stores and
through most mail-order wood-
working suppliers.
How to use
the arc trammel

If you need to remove the pat-
tern after cutting, use artist's spray
mount adhesive to affix the pattern
to the workpiece. Available at art
supply stores, this adhesive allows
you to remove the pattern easily,
without leaving adhesive residue
on the wood surface. (If you com-
plete the cut on all four sides, the
patterns end up being attached to
the waste wood.)

ANATOMY OF A
BAND SAW
Large or small, twowheel or ~e
wheel, all band saws work essential
ly the same way. A long, flexible,
weldedsteel blade travels on
wheels supponed by a rigid frame.
Most two-wheel saws have separate
wheel bousings with removable
covers so you can change blades.
Most three-wheelers, and a few
two-wheelers, such as the Inca 340
pictured at left. have a one-piece
housing for wheels and blade.
The motor drives one of the
wheels (drive wheel), either direct
ly off the mOlor shaft (direct drive)
or by means of a belt and pulley
system (belt drive).
You adjust the other wheel to
control blade tension and tracking
with tensioning and wheel lilt
knobs or handles.
Blade guide assemblies located
above and beneath me saw table
brace and stabilize the Oexible
blade as you saw. Each adjustable
assembly has a guide block on
either side of the blade to prevent
sideways movement, and a ball
bearing roller guide behind the
blade to prevent backward move
ment as you feed the stock into
the blade. You can raise or lower
the upper guide assembly (along
with the front blade guard) to ac
commodate stock of different
thickn~.
On most band saws, the table lilts
45" to the right (as you face the
blade teeth); some also till up to
10" to the left. A removable tbroat
plate or table insert covers the
hole or slot where the blade passes
through the table.

From intricate scrollwork to resawing timbers, today's band
saws can do an amazing number of cutting chores. But with
all the sizes, designs, features, and options available, choos-
ing just the right one can be tough. We've taken a close look
at 11 different saws - each under our $1,000 retail price

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE SAW FOR YOUR SHOP

First, decide whether you want a
benchlOp model or a larger sta-
tionary machine. If you're shon on
shop space, as many of us are, yOll
may prefer a compact benchtop
unit. Many of the less expensive
benchtop band saws tend to be
lightweight "hobbyist" machines.
But these under S2OO" units will
give adequate results if you limit
them to light, occasional use. But
don't expect them to perform like
the more expensive saws.
If you want a small, bench-top
saw that performs like a pro, we
suggest you look at the Inca 340,
Royobi BS-SON" and the SCars
2439. They're heavy-duty saws in a
small package.
If you want a more powerful saw
with larger capacity, you'll need
to go with a stationary machine.
These usually require stands,
though you may be able to mount
the smaller units on a bench. Delta 16- band saw shows typical three- can lower blade speed for cuning ferrous

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY SAW
Motors: The driving force
All stationary saws and most
bench-top units use induction
motors. Several of the smaller
bench top units use universal
motors. Generally, the small size,
high rpm, and limited brush life of
universal motors make them more
suitable for portable power tools
than for larger machines.
Most of the saws we looked at
have lotally enclosed, fan-cooled
(TEFe) molors. These motors hold
up longer in a shop environment
than motors with ventilated hous-
ings. If you buy a band saw with-
out a motor, we suggest you equip
it with a TEFC motor.
On the saws we looked at,
motors ranged from V, to 2lf2 hpj
In all cases, we found the motors
weU matched to the saw's physical
cutting capacities.
Wheels: The key to smooth,
vibration-free operation
Most band saws use cast-iron or
cast-aluminum wheels; some of the
benchtop units have plastic wheels.
Wheels may be wheels, but the
heavier cast-icon wheels develop
more momentum than aluminum
ones, and this helps keep the blade
from bogging down when cutting.
Also, saws with heavy, well-
balanced wheels run more smooth-
ly, with less noise and vibration.
Wheel housings
These are usually stamped (sheet)
steel or high-impact plastic. One
exception: the castaluminum hous-
ing on the Inca, which forms part
of the frame. On other saws, the
housing attaches to the frame and
does not add to its rigidity.
If you expect to be changing
blades frequently, check to see
how easily you can remove and
replace the housing covers. You'll
find some fasteners easier to work
than others. Also make sure the
covers attach squarely and snugly
against the housing - a loose
wheel housing adds to vibration
and noise when operating the saw.
Frame - check rigidity
Think of the band saw's frame as its
backbone - it has to support the
two or three spinning wheels
placed under tension by the blade.
If the blade flexes or warps the
frame, your cuts will suffer. To
check frame rigidity, grasp a side of
the table with one hand and push
against the side of the top wheel
cover with the other.
Band saws have frames of cast
iron, cast aluminum, or steel.
These materials make rigid frames
if they're thick enough and the
frame itself has a rigid design.
On cast-iron and cast-aluminum
frames, a ribbed design provides
greater rigidity with minimal warp,
and keeps weight down.
Tables: Are they easy to tilt?
Most band saw tables tilt 45 to
the right; some also tilt up to 10
to the left. The Royobi's table
doesn't tilt because it's primarily
a resaw.
Check for smooth operation
when tilting the table, and make
sure the locking knobs on the
trunnions hold the table firmly at
any angle without having to apply
too much pressure to them. We
particularly liked the smooth oper-
ation of the heavy cast-iron table
on the Grizzley, shown in the
photo left. Its yoke-and-cradle
trunnion design provides solid
support for the table and positive
locking.
Also check that the throat plate
fits snugly and sits flush with the
table surface. You don't want the
work snagging on it while sawing
or having the blade cut into it. We
prefer plastic throat plates to metal
ones because they're less likely to
damage the blades should they hit it.
As saw tables go, those on band
saws are relatively small - typi
cally 12"_14" square. For most band
saw work, you won't need a table
much larger than this. If you do,
some band-saw manufacturers olIer
table extensions (see chart on
page 55 ).

BAND SAWS Finding one that's right for you

Here uc 10 of the 11 saws we tried out: 1. Elckua Beckum 6. Mini Max Professional 32, Model P 32 (12"), 1. Delta
Model BAS 315/4 (12"), 2. AMT Model 4112 (14"), 3. Grizzley Motorized Band Saw (three wheel) Model 28-560 (16"), 8.
ModdGl131 (18), 4. Inca Model 340 (10'/2''), S. Royobl Model Delta Model 28243 (14"), 9. SkU Model 3104 (10"). 10. Delta
ftS.SON (9'1."). Motorized Band Saw Model 28160 (10-).

OTHER DESIGN FEATURES TO CONSIDER

Blade adjustments
Band saws have more blade adjust-
ments than any other saw you'U
own. So, if you anticipate changing
blades frequently, you'll appreciate
having these mechanisms conve-
niently located and as easy to oper-
ate as possible.
Blade tension and tracking
adjustments have large knobs
or levers proluding through the
wheel housing. You shouldn't have
to apply a 10[ of muscle to turn
them - just make sure they
operate smoothly and easily.
Saws with built-in blade-tension
indicators help take the guesswork
out of tensioning the blade. We
like those with scales indicating
correct tension for the blade
width, such as the one used on the
Delta saws. Saws without tension
indicators require some trialand-
error adjusting until you get used
to the saw.
Blade guide assemblies should
be easy to get to for adjustment. In
some cases you have to remove
the throat plate to gain access to
the lower guide assembly.
A.bove: MicroadJustmenL!l on Della 14"
saw provide precision control on roller
guIdes and gulde-assernbly carriage.
Rt&bt: Removable switch toggle prevents
accidental starting of saw - a good fe.l.
lure when young folks visit your shop.
On mOSt saws, you'll need a
wrench to adjust the guide blocks.
We: like the knurled knobs on the
Inca's guide-block adjustments
because they allow you to adjust
the gUide blocks easily by hand -
without a wrench (sec photo on
page 50). We also like micro-
adjustment knobs for the ball-
bearing roller guides and guide
assembly carriage, like those
shown in the photO above. They
allow you to -finetune" the guides.
Switches, Safety first
We like to have a switch within
easy reach from the saw operator's
position. Then, if you have to turn
off the saw in a hurry, such as
when a blade breaks, you can do
it. Also, you shouldn't have to
reach across the saw to turn it off.
Some of the Delta saws and the
SkH 3 104 have removable switch
toggles SO you can lock the switch
in the OFF position when the saw's
not in use (see photo above).

Makes dadoes and edge-jointing a snap
If you have ever put off
building a project 'because
it called for extra-long or
tough-to-do dadoes, wait
no more. Here comes our
router straightedge to the
rescue. You can make it in
a few hours for under $10.
And with it. you can just as
easily rout one or a dozen
dadoes, stopped or not. Plus.
edge-jointing with your
router- also becomes a snap.
So throw on your shop
apron and safety glasses and
let's head for the workshop!
ASSEMBLING THE FENCE
Note: The JinislJed width of the
base (A) will depeltd upon tlJe
size Of the plastic subbase ofyour
router and the size Of straight bit
used. As stated in the directions,
we cui our base extra wide and
tben trimmed it /0 jinished width
later with a 3/4" straight bil.
I From 1(2" plywood (we used
9-ply Baltic birch), rip ;and cross-
cut the base (A) and guide (0) to
the sizcs listcd in thc 8ill of Mate-
rials. Keep the front edge of the
guide perfectly straight, joint if
necessary. When using later, the
router slides along this edge and
transfers any imperfections to
the workpiece.
2 Cut or rout a If"" rabbet 1/""
deep along one cdge of the guide
piece. When using. this rabbet acts
as 3. sawdust notch.
1 To layout the YIC>" holcs on the
base. draw a line the length of the
base 2" from what will be the back
edgc where shown in the drawing.
Now, using a compass or dividers
sct at 2". step 00' and mark the hole
locations on the basco Clamp a
fence to your drill press and drill
16" holes through the plywood
base where marked. Back the piece
with scrap to prevent chip-out.
56
4 Countersink every YIC>" hole on
the bottom side of the base to pre
vent the screwheads from scratch
ing the piece being dadoed later.
S Glue and clamp the guide piece
to the base with the back edges
and ends flush. Remove ;tny glue
squeezc-out from the sawdust
notch beforc it dries. Sand the
assembly smooth.
6 To trim the base to finished
width. mount the straight bit you
will usc most often for routing
dadoes (we used a y.'" bit) in your
router. Clamp the base and gUide
assembly on the edge of your
workbench. and rout '/-4" into the
plywood base (A). Check that the
sc.cond cut won't hit your work
bench. adjust the bit depth to cut
:lll the way through, and finish
ro.uting through the base.
MAKING THE STOPS
I Cut a piece of the same If;!"
material used for the base and
guide to 4x 10". Using the Stop
Drawing :It rigbl as a guide. layout
the stOp (C) outline and slot loca
tion onto the blank where shown
in the photo below. Repeat for the
other stop.
2 Drill a 1/.." hole at each end of
each marked slot.
1 Fit a W' straighl bit i.n your
tablemounted rOllter. Now, clamp
a fence to the router table so the
cenler of the straight bit is Vz"
from the inside edge of the fence.
4 Position the stop blank against
the fence with the router bit pro-
truding through onc of the v.ol"
holes in the blank. Holding the
blank firmly against the fence with
one band, start the router with the
other, and rout from hole to hole
to form thc slot as shown in the
photo lower Ie/I. (In addition to
using the l/-l~ holes as stop pointS,
we also clamped a stop to the
router table as shown in the
photo.) Re(X.'at this step to rout the
slot in the second stop.
S Cut or rout a '/8" rabbet '/8"
deep along each end of the stop
blank (see the Stop Drawing for
location) to a<."t as sawdust notches.
Cut the stops to shape from the
blank with a b:lOd saw or scroll saw.
Sand both pieces smooth.
6 Apply the finish to the stops,
base, and guide. Applying a small
amount of paraffin to the tOp sur-
face of the base helps the router
slide more easil)'. Attach the stops
to the straightedge with -Y16"
Oath<"'ad machine screws, washers.
and wing nuts.
PUTTING THE STRAIGHT
EDGE TO WORK
Start by laying out the location
of the dadoes or stopped dadoes
needed on the workpiece, and
set the straight hit to the needed
depth. With the router turned off.
position it on the base, check the
position of the Straight bit against
the markl..'d dado, and damp the
straight<.'dge in position. If you plan
on cutting dadoc..'S with the same
straight bit u.sed in Stl..'P 6, position
the front edge of the base dir<."Ctly
on the inside line marking the
dado. If using a larger or smaller
hit, you will need to adjust the
position of [he straightedge accord-
ingly. Holding the router firmly
against the guide, start the router,
and move it into the wood and
along the guide to cut the dado.
Move the rOlller in the direction
noted by the arrow on the

fit his game plan perfectly.
Scan's woodworking imerest
comes naturally: His father is Paul
McClure, wood technology consul
tam for WOOD Magazine. Dad
helped Scan some, but only
because the table saw was off
limits. Young McClure did the
rest, and he told us precisely how.
Sean even routed a V-groove
between the squares, but says the
moldings were the hardest:
~First, I routed the edges of a
purplcheart board with Bosch's
1/2" classical bit. When I ripped the
edges olf, there were my moldings.
Then, I made a rabbet in the back
of the moldings, mitered the ends,
and glued them to the board. After
I put the purpleheart on, I made
the ebony moldings exactly the
same way, only I used Bosch's I/:i
cove bit. They wem on the same
way. too. To fill the cove in the
ebony, I cut a strip of primavera
veneer and glued it in."
Scan finished his board with
three coats of clear Deft. We only
hope his chess game cominues to
match his shop skills!.

HOW TO SELECT A CRAFTS
FAIR TO ATTEND
Because crafts fairs not only differ in
size, location, and attendance, but
also in management, amount of pro-
motion, and type of clientele, there's
no well-defined, tried-and-true tech-
nique for picking a fair where sales
will be good. Experienced exhib-
itors, however, such as David
DiZinno. of WellingtOn, Ohio, have
developed working guidelines that
help increase their chances of sales
success.
DaVid, who for 18 years has
traveled to as many as 3S crafts fairs
a year selling his wood mosaics, pre-
fers to attend juried fairs. -These
fairs emphasize quality,- he says.
-And if the fair isn't held in a cul-
tural wasteland, the buyers come
expecting to pay for it. Serious buy-
ers usually want to see and talk to
the artist or craftsperson who made
the work. Size makes little differ-
ence. You can still make good
money at a small crafts fair. It's the
people attending that count,"
Over the years, David says he has
learned to spot the types of people
who'll likely buy his work. "Thc)'
look well-dressed, and typically ask
intelligent questions."
Woodturner Cleat Christiansen,
from Ogdcn, Utah, sells at 16 fairs a
year from coast to coast. In the 4lf:l
years he's bcen attending fairs, he's
also come to limit himself to only
juried fairs. "If you're going to travel
any distance at all, you might as well
go where the mone)' is," he advises.
Even juried fairs prove chancey,
though, since you can't count on
being Mjuricd in" from one year to
the next. But, as Frank Garvelink.,
a Marcellus, Michigan woodworker
says: "Crafts fairs are like the stock
markel; you learn to run with the
blue chips.- In his 12 years of mar-
keting band-sawn baskets, he has
sold at up to 30 crafts fairs a year.
WOOD MAGAZtNE FEBRUARY 1987
 Although juried fairs seem to be
preferred by many craftspeople,
don't Jet that stop you from trying
a nOn-juried fair. One, or several,
might work for you.
Even with this advice under your
bch, there are still hundreds of
juricd, and many nonjuricd, fairs
to pick from. So where do you turn
next? To fellow craftspeople and art-
ists who regularly make their way
around the crafts fair "circuit."
Word-of-mouth recommendations
from folks who have been to a good
fair even helps out the pros.
"I talk to all kinds of crafts- men
and women - painters, jewelers,
potters. Anyone who docs work
in the same class or level as mine
can tell me what I might expect
at an untried fair,R David tells
us. ~I might get to opinions,
then take the consensus."
The monthly magazine, Sunshine
Artists U.S.A, lists hundreds of fairs
by state (see source box at end of
article) and provides additional
information on entry fees, types of
work featured, and where to write.

You'll save at least 50 percent
over the retail price of good, kiln-
dried hardwood by buying green
logs and having them custom-sawed
at a mill for 15 to 30 cenLS a board

fresh-sawed boards from the mill
(at about 50 cents per board foot
more), you'll come out ahead. And
if you're patient, undersland the
principles, and adhere to time-

quality wood for your projects.
Some craftsmen swear air-dried
stock works better, and looks
richer in color when made up,
than the kiln-dried variety.

GREENWOOD,HOWWET IT IS
Depending on the species, the
moisture content of green wood
normally ranges from 40 percent
in heartwood to as much as 70
percent in sapwood. Once a tree
has been felled, the wood starts
drying out, and continues drying
until its moisture content balances
with the relative humidity of the
,'/i'~ "\I air surrounding it. At this stage,
we call it "seasoned."
But even seasoned wood, like a
sponge, can absorb or lose mois
ture. Depending on the specics,
this may take a few days or a few
weeks. A finish simply slows the
process down. While you'll never
completely prevent wood from
changing itS moisture content, you
can control to some degree how
much it fluctuatcs.
You want to dry the wood to a
moisture content equal to the aver
age relative humidity of the place
where it will eventually be used.
In mOSt cases, that'll be inside
your home.

all through the drying process
with a moisture meter. Or, you
can use the "oven-dry~ method
explained below.
MEASURING MOISTURE
CONTENT WITH THE
OVENDRY METHOD
Select a sample board, representa-
tive of the thickness and rypc 9
wood you're drying, from close to
the middle of yOUT lumber stack.
From it, crosscut a I"-wide piece
about 2" from one end. Avoid knots
or other defects. Weigh the tcst
piece and rccord its weight. Place
the piece in an oven set at 215F.
and check it periodically until it no
longer loses weight (usually about
24 hours).
Subtract the sample's weight
after oven-drying from its initial
weight to find the weight of the lost
moisture. 1ben, divide the mois-
ture weight by the oven-dry weight
(0 find the percentage of moisture
content your wood has at that stage.
Here's an example: A piece of
wood weighs 10 ozs. before drying
and 8 ozs. after. The 2-oz. differ-
ence represents the weight of the
lost moisture. Dividing 2 by 8 gives
you .25, or 25 percent moisture
coment.
You can use the sample board to
cut test pieces from throughout the
air-drying process. When the wood
reaches the moisture content you
need, it's ready to work.
But don't stop yet. Dry wood,
unless it's stored with care, can reab-
sorb a lot of the moisture you've
already removed. After air-drying
outdoors, don't move the wood into
a high-humidity basement, for exam-
ple. Remember, the temperature and
humidity of the room where you
store it should be about the samc as
where you'll use the wood.
Whcrever possible, store lumber
flat to avoid warping from its own
weight. If you can't, kcep the boards
as near vertical as possible in an
upright rack to avoid bowing.
If you have roorn for flat storage,
sticker tht:; boards to allow air ciecu-
lation under and through them.

SEASONING SECRETS,
THEY'RE IN THE STACK
Seasoning green wood may be
extra work, but worth it. The tradi-
tional way calls for stacking the
pile care.uHy, separating each
board from the one above and
below it with I x I" wood strips
called stickers. The boards must
also be separated from their neigh-
bors in each layer by a I" air space.
Many !=onsider a 4xB' pile
ideal size because a sheet of ply-
wood can be used for protection
on top. Stability of the stack gov-
erns how high you build it.
Where you site the stack, how
you lay down the boards, and the
way you protect them, become just
as critical as drying time.
Choosing a site
Furniture and cabinet stock should
dry slowly to minimize defects.
That's why you need to select a
pile site before you bring the wood
home - so you can sticker and
stack the wood immediately.
Avoid damp, boggy areas, over-
hanging lrces that drop leaves and
twigs, and the sunniest spot in the
yard. Face one end of the pile into
the prevailing wind.
If you can build the pile inside
an open barn or shed, the wind
and weather won't be problems.
But in an enclosed space, such as
a garage or attic, you may need
to install a fan to circulate air.
Build a solid foundation
Our lumber pile, illustrated right,
has a typical foundation for a
4x8' stack built up to 6' high.
To keep ground moisture from
infiltrating thc lower layers, first
put down some polyethylene
sheeting or asphalt roofing felt. On
top of the moisture barricr, set
concrete blocks to support the two
long 4 x 6" beams called mudsil/s.
crete blocks keep the bolsters and
bottom boards of the pile at least
l' off the ground, away from any
possible water or mud damage.
To avoid any bowing and warp-
ing an uneven pile might cause,
the 4 x 4" bolsters, or crosspieces,
must be level with each other and
an equal distance apart. Use a long,
straight board or a mason's line to
check alignment, and shim to level
if necessary. (Note: Your pile can
have a slight downhill slope.)
Sticker and stack with care
Have enough stickers on hand to
support all your lumber. For each
layer in a 4x8' pile, you'll need
at least five stickers - one ovcr
every bolster, if you set them on
24" centers, and onc on each end.
If your boards sag a bit, reshuffle
the pile and narrow lip the bolsters
to 16" ccnters. Careful, though, too
many stickers impede airflow.
Always use clean, dry hardwood
for your stickers. It's best to make
them from the same species of wood
you're drying. Otherwise, use birch,
maple, poplar, white oak, or willow.
Woods such as walnut and rcd oak
tend to stain dissimilar woods.
To start the stacking, center your
first layer of stickers directly on
the bolsters, as shown. Next, lay
down a layer of low-grade lumber
to help shield the good wood from
ground moisture. Now you can
stack the rcst of your boards, keep-

using me full-sized drawing at left,
layout the V4" radii and dowel-
hole reference lines on each end
of the uprights. Cut and drum-sand
the uprights to shape. Using the
dimensions on the Exploded-View
DraWing, mark the dowel-hole
center points for each :V4" dowel
on the inside face of two of the
uprights. Keep these two marked
uprights together to assemble in
the first end section later.
7 Using the same techniques as
described in steps 2 through 5 and
the grid draWing at left as a guide,
layout, cut, and drum-sand the
two bases (C) to shape.
ASSEMBLING THE
END SECTIONS
I Dry-clamp each end section
together. As shown in the photo
below, transfer the dowel-hole ref-
erence lines from the ends of each
upright onto their mating arch and
base pieces. (We used the scrap
cutout from the top of each arch
Dowel-hole
reference lines
WOOD MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 1987
and the bottom of each base as
straight edges to clamp against.)
Labeling the mating pieces at each
joint also helps speed up assem-
bling each end section later.
2 Unclamp the end sections. Then,
using a doweling jig, drill a pair of
a" holes 1 VI 6" deep where marked
at each joint.
3 Cut sixteen a" dowels 2" long.
Now, glue, dowel, and clamp each
end section together.
4 Sand each end section smoom.
Rout a :Va" round-over along all
edges except the feet of the bases
where shown on the Exploded-
View Drawing.
ASSEMBLING THE
QUILT RACK
I Cut the two cross members (D)
to size. Next, cut three 1" dowels
(E) and two 3/4" dowels (F) to
finished length (28"). If you have
trouble finding oak dowels in your
area, see our Buying Guide for a
mail-order source.
2 Rout a 1f4" ogee along the top
edges of both cross members.
3 Snip the head end off a 1" brad,
and chuck the brad into your
drill. Using the brad as a bit, drill
'/,t-deep holes (one in each of the
two uprights and three in one of
the arches) on the center points
marked earlier.
Snip the ends off five similar-
sized brads so the brads arc %"
TRANSFERRING THE DOWEL
CENTER POINTS
Brad with head clipped off,
pointed end up
Dowel center point

you just drilled. Place the second
end section inside face down on
top of the other end section. Align
the bottom and side edges. Press
the two end sections together to
transfer the dowel-hole center
pOint locations as shown in the
drawing lower left.
4 Separate the end sections and
remove the brads. Finally, drill a I"
hole 9/16" deep for each I" dowel
(E) and 4" holes 9/16" deep for
each 314" dowel (F) using the brad
holes and indentations in each end
section as guides.
5 Dry-clamp the quilt rack
together with the dowels and cross
members in position (note on the
grid drawing that the top edge of
the cross members aligns flush
with the top edge of each base).
Now, using the hole sizes shown
on the Exploded-View Drawing,
drill plug, shank, and pilot holes
through each base (C) and into the
ends of each cross member.
6 Glue and clamp the rack with
all cross members and dowels in
place between the end sections.
Remove any excess glue after a
tough skin forms. Fasten the
cross members to the bases with
#lOx2 l/l' flathead wood screws.
7 Plane a thicker piece of oak to
9/16" thick. Cut :Va" plugs 9/16" long
from the oak. Plug the screw holes
and sand the plugs flush.
FINISHING UP
I Finish-sand and apply the stain
and finish. (We applied a walnut
stain and polyurethane.)

FORMING AND FITTING
THE TRIM
I CUt aJ.ld shape the base molding

3/4 x I x 27" for each canister, and
then planed it down to W'thick.)
Rout a 3/S" cove along one edge of

Remove any excess gluc after a
tough skin has formed. Later, sand
the molding smooth. (To sand thc
coves, wc wrapped sandpaper
around a Ys" dowel.)
ADDING THE LID
Note: To form a tighter seal
between the canister top and lid,
we applied felt tape to the lid.
Applying jelt to the bottom edge
of the lid raises it 1116' above the
hinge support (E). To compensate,
plane the lid pieces (H, l,j) to ////(;".
I To form the lid sides (1-1) and

CRAFT A

~CUHTR:Y
CLASSIC

Before the introducw

tlon of the fancy hard-
ware and fasteners we
enjoy today, the early
furniture makers had
to rely on devices fash-
ioned from wood.
When building tres-
tle tables, the Shakers
developed the wedge
key to secure the
cross member to the
base ends. Tapped in-
to place, the wedge
key secured the joint.
Tapped back out, it
allowed the table
base to be quickly
disassembled for ease
in moving.

Finally, a paper-towel holder START WITH THE

you don't have to hide under
the kitchen sink! In fact,
you'll want to mount it in a
prominent spot to show off
the intriguing wedge-key
joint that secures the towel
roller in p13ce.
END PIECES
I Rip and crosscut [Wo pieces of 3/4 "
oak to 7 1/4" wide by 8V2" long. Then,
using double-faced tape, stick the
two oak pieces together face to
face with the edges flush. Using the
drawing of the end piece (A) on
the next page as a guide, layout the
shape and hole location on one of
the cnd pieces.

2 Cut the two notches in the taped-
together end pieces using a table
saw and miter gauge.
3 Drill a 1" hole through the pieces,
backing the bottom piece with scrap
to prevent chip-out. Using the End
Drawing as a guide, layout the
recess for the wedge key on onc
end piece and the pin on the other.
Stick the end pieces to your work-

4 To form the wedge-key and
dowel-pin slots, start by fitting your
router with a a"-core box bit set
to cut to a depth of 3116". Attach an
edge guide to your router base, and
position the inside edge of the guide
exactly 3 vl' from the center of the
bit. As shown in the photo above,
rout a 2 3d'-long slot for the wedge
key on one of the end pieces. Flip
the end pieces over, retape to the
workbench, and rout a I V2"-long
recess centered over the 1II hole
for the W' dowel pin.
S Cut the end pieces to shape with
a band saw or jigsaw; then sand the
contoured edges smooth. Separate
the two pieces and remove the
doublefaced tape.
6 Cut a I"-diameter dowel to 14 112"
long. For a smooth fit of the dowel

 piece, sand the inside of each hole
larger. (We made the drum sander
shown in the photo below.) You can
make one by cutting a 4"-long kerf
in one end of a 7" length of Va"
dowel. Cut a piece of sandpaper to
4x4", insert one end of the sand
paper into the 4" kerf, and wrap the
sandpaper counterclockwise around
the dowel. Secure the drum sander
in the drill chuck and sand the
inside of each 1" hole.
CUTIING llIE OlllER
PARTS AND ASSEMBLING
llIEHOLDER
I Cut the front apron rail (8), rear
rail (C), and shelf (D) to size (refer
to the Front-Apron Drawing to lay
out B). Clamp both rails to the end
pieces. TIlen, drill a" plug holes '12"
deep through the front and rear rails
where shown in the Exploded-View
Drawing. Now, drill a 5/32" shank
hole through the center of the Va"
plug holes until the driU bit makes
contact with the end piece. Switch
to a 'l'6.t bit, and drill :Vi' deep into
each end piece, centered in each of
the %2" holes.
2 Remove the clamps. Measure in
2" from each end of the back rail,
and drill and countersink two
mounting holes. Glue and screw
the rails and end pieces together.
Remove any glue after it forms a
tough skin.
J Rout a '1.l round-over along the
front and side top edges of the shelf.
Center the shelf on the base assem-
bly with the back edges flush, and
clamp in position. Drill the screw
and plug holes - same size as those
used to attach the rails - through
the shelf and into the end pieces.
Finally, screw the shelf to the
base assembly.
4 Plug all the screw holes and sand
the project smooth.
S Insert the dowel through the end
pieces, and center it in the assembly.
Using the earHer cut slots as guides,
mark the location of the pin and
wedge-key hole locations on the
dowel. Remove the dowel, and drill
a Vi" hole through one end of the
dowel for the pin and another
'Ii' hole in the other end for the
wedge key.
6 Cut the wedge key (E) to size
using the full-sized draWing below
as a guide. With a sharp W' chisel,
form the tapered wedgekey slot in
the I" dowel to the shape shown
in the drawing.
7 Cut a '/.4" dowel to 1 1/2" long.
Center and glue it in the '1.l' pin
hole in the I" dowel.
FINISHING UP
I Remove the I" dowel from the
holder. Finish-sand the holder,
wedge key, and dowel. Stain and
finish as desired.
2 Using toggle bolts (for dr~all),
fasten the holder to the wall..

CUT AND ASSEMBLE
THE DRAWERS
I Cut one piece of l' oak to
2 iS/16X22" for the drawer fronts
(M), and two pieces of \12" oak to
2 15/16X35" for the sides (N). (We
planed ~/4" stock down to Vi' lhick-
ness for the sides and backs).
2 Now, rout or cut a 1/4" rabbet 1/4"
deep along the bottom inside edge
of each of the three pieces,
3 Set a stop on your saw and cut the
fronts 37/16" long. Reposition the stop
and cut the sides to length, Cut a 1/2"
rabbet Va" deep along both ends of
each drawer front.
4 Cut lhe backs (0) and bottoms
(P) to finished size,
S Glue and clamp the drawers
together checking for square. Later,
remove the clamps and check the
fit of all drawers in the opening.
Sand if necessary,
6 To locate the drawer pulls, posi-
tion all the drawers in the opening,
and then draw a line across the
fronts 1 1/2" up from the bottom
edge of the drawer fronts. Remove
the drawers, and drill a 7/64" pilot
hole for the pulls through each
front through the line and cen
tered from side to side.
ADD THE FINISHING
TOUCHES
I Remove all the hardware
(except the magnetic catches -
just cover them with masking
tape). Then, apply stain to all the
pieces, being sure to Wipe on with
the grain. Later, apply several coats
of finish. (We applied two coats of
polyurethane varnish to the case,
doors, and drawer exteriors; two
coats of salad bowl finish to the
drawers' interiors,)
2 Glue and nail the back (H) in
position. Reattach the hinges and
knobs. Use the technique and
photo reference on page 74 of the
canister article to install the glass.
Hang both doors.

cards also help add to your profes-

may also result in later sales.

ADVICE FROM 11IE PROS

Cleat Christiansen has learned to
be a photographer, businessman,
traveler, salesman, and educator
<-because mOSt people don't
understand what woodturning is"),
to do crafts fairs.
Beginners, Cleat feels, should
look to fairs where the manage-
ment gives them all the help they
can - in assigning space, parking,
advertising, and all aspects of the
show. "Find out how much they
do for you, and for your sales,"
he advises.
Frank Garvelink suggests that
first-time exhibitors try a show
close to home, to see if they like
il, because: "It's not for everyone."
David OiZinno knows you can
"bomb out" from time to time at a
crafts fair. "You have to take a little
bit of rejection, a little failure. So,
test the waters. Look for a fair with
a good attitude. organization, and
advertising."

WHERE TO FIND
WHERE THE FAIRS ARE
After you've asked all the questions
about which fairs might be good to
attend - read, read, read.

Also contact state travel depart-
mems and state arts councils, care
of state capitols, for listings of art
and crafts fairs.
SALES TAX AND YOU
Selling your work at a crafts fair
means retail sales - and sales
tax. So, you'll need a state resale
tax number, available from your
state's tax department, to do
business. It allows you to buy
materials without paying sales
tax, and requires you to collect
sales tax on items you sell and
foeward it to the state.
If you sell retail in a state
where you don't live, you'll also
nced to have a resale tax num-
ber from that statc. And some-
times, counties reqUire tax
numbers toO, because they
collect taxes independently,
or on top of, those collected
by the state.
Most fairs make it easy for
out-of-state exhibitors and send
the proper forms to yOli when
they notify you of acceptance.
Sometimes, forms are available
when you check in. Or, you can
write to the tax department of
the state where you intend to
do business. Check with an
accountant before you bcgin.
Tax laws can be complex.

 DIVIDING A
BOARD INTO
EQUAL PARTS
THE EASY WAY
Whether you're planning to
rip a board into a number
of equal strips or laying out
divisions in a project drawing,
here's a quick alternative to
, 8
Ruler
time-consuming calculations
and measurements.

Imagine you have a 44"-wide

board you want to make into 11
equal parts. Instead of relying on
long division, follow this method
(illustrated right).
I Lay a ruler across the board
width at a diagonal to form AB.
2 Keeping one cnd of the ruler
in place at A, adjust the other end
slightly up or down until the ruler
at H, lines up with a number that
can easily be divided by the num-
ber of parts you need. In this case,
the 5 '12" mark lined up at the right
edge of the board provides 11 uni-
form divisions when marked at
every 112" increment.
3 Place a dot at each '12" division.
4 Use a square and mark the divi
sion lines perpendicular to the end
of the board.

'of with the customer as to what the finished project
will look like. You can make that clear with sketches
or photos of similar pieces, and with written descrip-
tions and specifications. You should know fairly accu-
rately how much time you'll put into the project to
arrive at a price.
Request down payments to cover materials and
some of your time. It commits your client to pur-
chase the completed piece.

WHOLESALING FOCUSES ON PRODUCTION

When you do most of the work and the retailer
marks up your product 100 percent (typically),
it seems like you don't get much of the gravy. But,
when you add up the time you'd have to spend,
and the money, to retail your offerings in quantity,
wholesale selling becomes more sensible.
Wholesaling also enables you to move lots of your
handmade merchandise to a variety of outlets -
retail stores, gift shops, and gift catalog companies -
to name a few. And after you've delivered the order
and have been paid, your worries are over. But to
wholesale successfully, you'll have to brush up on
your business savvy r~garding purchase orders,
credit, returns, fulfillment, and shipping. Products
that you can make quickly in quantity probably
adapt best to wholesale.

WOOD TO WET
YOURWHISUE
Pioneer woodsmen on the American
frontier used the inner bark of the
slippery elm to quench their thirst

TALK ABOUT A TURNING!

For Des Moinesbased architectural
woodturner Mark Knudsen, who
routinely turns large items such as
POSts and columns for buildings, it
was the biggest bowl ever mounted
on his lathe. Built up of Honduras
mahogany segments bandsawn to
rough shape, the "blank" measured
54" in diameter, was nearly 3' deep,
and weighed 550 Ibs. Not surprising-
ly, he needed a chain hoist to lift it in
place on the faceplate!
Thirty hours later, over 300
Ibs. of mahogany shavings lay on
Mark's workshop floor. The newly
turned bowl was 29" deep, with 1Ye".
thick sides.
Mark's turning work was finished,
but there was still more to do with
the huge, mahogany bowl. It was
freighted to a St. Petersburg, Fla.
hotel, where a cabinetmaker halved
it like a melon and used the curved
pieces to top a pair of china cabi
nets in the refurbished grand ban
quet room.
Reflecting on his experience, Mark
says he had only two problems: The
sides of the bowl actually moved in
and out - kind of flapped - as I was
turning it. That made it difficult to
keep my gouge against lhe wood.
And, because I had to slow the lathe
down to 65 rpm's, the shavings didn't
follow lhe bowl around and drop out
the bottom when I was working in
side - they gOt to the top, then
rained down on my head!"
