son's article about his couch (F W #61). When the appear

ance and details of a piece flow from the necessities of use and

construction (given a certain amount of sensitivity to line and

proportion), it is my firm opinion that the funiture is well

made. Heaven preserve me from "sculptural statements."

Similarly, wit is refreshing on first sight, but not on 50th.

My vote goes for more articles like this one, where real peo

ple make real use of fine wooden custom work.

down - the screws that hold the plastic cover to the metal

housing stripped out. While the two-part housing may reduce

vibrations, I think the design is ulnerable here. I've only used

my Speed-Bloc for horizontal production work because it's too

tall for work in small spaces. Also, because it's relatively heavy

and the grip is far from the center of gravity, it's harder to con

trol and awkward to use inside cabinets and in any position

other than horizontal. When you're holding a machine out at

the end of your reach, every ounce counts.

I prefer the Hitachi. Contrary to the article's conclusions,

I've never had any problems with the paper-holding springs.

Mine still hold fine after two years. The article expressed con

cern that the ventilating slots might be easily covered during

use, leading to overheating. I've used mine upside down in

jigs with about 30% of the ventilation slots covered with no

problem. I do agree with Robert Vaughan that the switch is a

little hard to use.

-Hilde Orlo, Highla nd Park, ll.

I bought a Makita B04510 sander several years ago and have

been very disappointed with the clamping method. I have had

several large orbital sanders over the years (I have a Porter

Cable 505 now) and their clamping systems have always

worked fine. The Makita sander, on the other hand, was a

nightmare. The little arms that swing out to give leverage to

the clamps for paper changing are so stiff my fingers would

almost bleed after a day of pulling on them, but the most an

noying aspect is that the teeth on the clamp would wear the

sandpaper. This caused the paper to wiggle all over the pad

and clamps, until it finally came off altogether. I made new

teeth with a file (they were almost completely gone) and this

worked for a month or two, but then the problem retuned

worse than ever. Finally, in a fit of anger, I threw the machine

in the trash. I plan on replacing it with a Porter-Cable 330 if I

find the extra cash. I guess you get what you pay for.

-Ben Erickson, Eutaw, Ala.

The Black & Decker is the only sander I've noticed over

heating. It slows down noticeably with very little pressure and

wi ll even stall on those jobs where you're trying to remove a

lot of material in a hurry. The plate is very thin and the pad is

so thin and hard that, contrary to the article's suggestion, it is

not ideal for sanding lacquer sealer. It will cut through spots

even infinitesimally higher than the surrounding area. This is a

drawback in a wiggly world with very few absolutely dead-flat

boards. With extra padding it will work okay, but that defeats

the dust-collection system. Speaking of which, after using the

sander for a while, the vibrations loosen the bag, which falls

off with a big puff of all the dust you're trying to contain.

While I think the kind of disassembly analysis represented

by this article is useful, perhaps it would be better if

spent the money necessary to really test products in the field

or do some surveys among its readers, instead of spending it

on big color pictures of the products. It reminds me too much

of those "independent" car magazines.

-Pet er East man, Berkeley, Ca l.

scribed in David Shaw's article on filling the grain (F W #60)

involves working the dye with one's fingertips. Use of aniline

dyes presents a potential health risk in that chronic industrial

exposure to aniline derivatives has been associated with an in

creased risk of bladder cancer. The use of gloves for the de

scribed procedure, or application of dye by brush over unco

lored plaster, would avoid absorption of aniline through the

skin and should be the preferred method of work. When it

comes to one's health, avoiding contact with aniline is not

"squeamish," it's smart.

-Dr. Ti mothy Wo odlock, Rochest er, . Y

dale Chair" (F W #60). I would like to offer several alterna

tive methods. First, when joining frame members at an angle,

as chair construction normally requires, I have found that cut

ting tenons at an angle and mortises straight (i.e. at 90° to the

piece to be mortised) facilitates the operation and produces

neater, more accurate, and, in some instances, stronger joints

than doing the reverse. A minor benefit of this procedure is

that it will not be necessary to spring the rails during the nor

mal assembly sequence. Remember that tenon lengths (and

overall rail length) will have to be adjusted so that adjacent

tenon ends nearly touch when the joint is assembled.

Secondly, I prefer to chop mortises by hand. I find the re

sults cleaner, more accurate, and probably just as quickly ac

complished. Besides, I find hand mortising to be one of the

true joys in woodworking, though I would consider using my

hollow-chisel morriser for a run of chairs.

Lastly, when possible and stylistically appropriate, draw

bore and pin all structurally important mortise-and-tenon

joints for a truly tight and beautiful joint. The advantages of

this become evident when one considers the unique stresses

to which chairs are subjected.

Regarding the comments in F W #58 and #60 about paying

for shrinkage as a result of kiln drying. In 1975, the U.S. De

partment of Commerce's Bureau of Standards challenged the

National Hardwood Lumber Association's (NHLA) measure

ment rules on the grounds that federal law required the seller

to deliver the quantity charged for on the invoice; i.e. 100 ft .

invoiced, 100 ft. delivered. The Association chose to fight in

stead of acceding to the government requirement.

In an open forum before the ational Conference on

Weights and Measures in Washington, D.C., the Frank Paxton

Lumber Company's corporate president, Frank Paxton Jr., de

bated NHLA representatives on this issue. As a result of this

debate, the NHLA group volunteered to change its measure

ment rules to conform with federal regulations.

If a seller charges a customer for more lumber than he re

ceived because of kiln shrinkage, he is not adhering to the

NHLA's measurement requirements.

WW #60, you had a story of an ex-schoolteacher (Thomas

Moser) turned fu rn ituremaker. I can just visualize him stand

ing up in front of his class at test time, admonishing his stu

dents to do their own work and not cheat. In my estimation,

he flunked his own test, and it's this kind of thing that makes

the public skeptical of hand-crafted items. His hand-made
