IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Taiwan Dollar has recently increased in value against the U.S. Dollar by more than 12% and all importers, including

ourselves, have been hit with price increases. We have temporarily absorbed most of the increase for a limited time because of the huge inven

tories we have on hand and because we have a commitment to the pricing in our catalog. However, these prices will not last forever and will be

going up soon. Believe this statement, it is not some corny sales gimmick!

of breaking through.

I also find that Murphy's Oil Soap and water is an excellent

lubricant in the final rubout. It's available in grocery stores,

and is probably cheaper than Flat Lube. On a large surface like

a desktop, I count the number of strokes in a given area when

steel wooling and try to duplicate this number in all areas to

obtain a more uniform sheen. -Alex Greene, Rutland, Vt.

build something beautiful struck a responsive chord in me. I

sell forest products for a living. Whenever I am in a forest and

see a magnificent tree, I say to myself, "Isn't that a beautiful

tree? It would be too bad to cut it." Then I see the same tree, or

one as nice or nicer, in the sawmill yard, and I say to myself,

"Isn't that a beautiful log? Too bad to cut it into lumber." Then

I see the boards from the log-wide, clear boards, lovingly

crafted into beautiful furniture by any one of the hundreds of

craftsmen that we are so fortunate to have in this country-and

it's all worthwhile. -Donald Bradley, Plainfield,

WW #59 missed the whole point of

WW #57. The

Here's a lacquer-spraying technique borrowed from the auto

finishing trade: After the final coat of lacquer has been sprayed,

empty the gun and refill it with straight lacquer thinner. Inspect

the surface for any imperfections, and judiciously remove

them with 600-grit paper lubricated with mineral spirits. Wipe

the surface with a tack cloth, then spray with thinner. Leave the

adjustments on the gun the same as when using the lacquer,

but because of the lower viscosity of the thinner, keep the gun

moving quickly and hold it slightly further from the work. This

final coat will melt and level the previous finish coats, elimi

nating overs pray marks. Using this technique will give a

smooth surface with an attractive sheen. For some items, this

may be just the elusive surface quality you've sought. If you

decide to go on to a more highly polished finish, the time re

quired for final sanding and polishing is conSiderably reduced.

J. Schumacher's letter in

Graham Blackburn's article about old planes in

article was about finding, tuning and refurbishing old wooden

planes to be used. Unless the tool is a rare or special example

of its class, it is first and foremost a tool and should be main

tained in as good condition as possible. I collect antique tools,

but I also work over old tools so they can be a thing of beauty

and still be used. With old, mass-produced planes, it's fun to

see how close you can come to making them look like they did

when new.

encouraged me to use my bandsaw more.

My 14-in. Rockwell saw, purchased new in 1982, produced an

awful thumping vibration whenever I ran it, which was not of

ten. For whatever reason,

I have four Makita 804510 Sanders and three Porter Cable

330s, and I thoroughly enjoy all of them. If Ben Erickson (p. 4,

simply loosens the arm by moving it back and forth with

pliers, his troubles with clamps will be over. I do wish Makita

had made the frame so it would accept a full . sheet. But the

size and weight make the Makita a good tool to use. And its

well-sealed bearings do last. -Rex Aman, Fort Worth, Tex.

Spring. My dealer sent the factory representative to my shop. He

agreed with me that the hole for the bearing in the upper wheel

was bored off-center. He promised to take care of it. Four days

later, the UPS man delivered a complete upper-wheel assem

bly. I installed it, and that was the end of the problem. Had

this saw come from Japan or Korea or Taiwan, I may have

gotten equally good response, but I wouldn't count on it.

- Tom Potter, Tulsa, Okla.

I read with interest Mac Campbell's comments on apprenticeship

in the January issue. The most important issue addressed by

Campbell was the analysis of how much money the apprentice

ship cost him. What struck me as significant is that shop orders

were up only $34 a month after the apprentice had been hired.

The financial failure of this apprenticeship must rest squarely on

Campbell's shoulders. He expanded his payroll with no appre

ciable increase in sales. Were there months of back orders

waiting, or did Campbell expect the apprentice to bring in an

extra $1 ,000 worth of orders per month? Where, in his careful

penny counting, did Campbell plan to generate new orders?

After four months, something should have been happening.

If Campbell really wanted to take on an apprentice, his initial

situation (a semi-trained, eager student and almost half his wages

subsidized by the state) would seem ideal. However, an appren

ticeship demands that the employer adapt to the new require

ments of the situation-something that did not happen here.

I enjoyed your article on bandsaws. I never would have

thought of strumming the saw to check the tension. I agree

that poor tensioning arrangements seem to be a big problem.

I decided to spend the afternoon in determining how accu

rate my tension marks are since the spring has seen quite

some service. I calculated that the force to tension a 6-tooth

per-inch, X-in. blade to 15,000 psi would be about 139 lb. It

proved impractical to suspend 139 lb. from the top wheel, but

with a ten-to-one leverage arrangement and a 14.-Ib. weight, I

exerted something near that. I assumed the spring was at zero

when it could barely be turned. Surprise: the tension mark was

reasonably close on my 14-in. Powermatic.

unit which is not really meant for industrial use. Our smallest

industrial machine is the Apollo 700, which delivers almost

twice the air of the 500. We recommend the Model 700 as the

one best-suited to commercial use.

Second, the claims made by Apollosprayers concerning

overspray and material savings are well-documented. These

tests were conducted by Truesdail Laboratories, Inc. in con

junction with the California Air Quality Management District, a

state agency that monitors air pollution. Overspray is reduced

by 90% and material savings are around 40%. Apollosprayers

are the only low-pressure sprayers to meet and exceed the

I enjoyed Gregory Johnson's spray finishing article

#62). The photo at the top of p. 74 leads me to make the

following comment. Wet sanding as shown will lead to skips

in the area between the fingers. The fingers should be at 90°

to the direction of the grain and path of the sanding stroke.

While this is initially an awkward motion, it does eliminate

skips and reduces the amount of sanding and, in turn, the risk
