The Stephan "Invisible" Wheel Grinde'r is the only really new idea in tool and bench grinders since
the motor driven mandrel. It is the only grinder that permits you to
see
what you are grinding
while
it is being ground.
Here's how it works: The horizontally mounted wheel is perforated by six slots. As it rotates at
3200
RPM the wheel becomes "invisible" the same way a fan blade becomes "invisible" when it is
rotating. The tool is ground against the
underside
of the wheel and, illuminated by lamplight from
above, becomes clearly visible through the wheel. You can see the metal being removed. Never
again will you ruin a tool because of overgrinding.
This industrial quality machine comes with one general purpose grinding wheel. A full range of
abrasive wheels for all types of metal and an assortment of polishing wheels are also available.
Over
50,00
Stephan Grinders are in operation in European homes and plants. We saw it,
recognized what it can do for craftsmen, and have it for you.

Fine tools, like other evolutionary processes, develop and improve with
time. The Levad model 610 is one such tool.
The shape, size, construction and utility of this unique bench results from
generations of evolution. It features a top of solid Danish beech, sanded to
precision tolerances, and sealed with linseed oil and two coats of lacquer.
The full width tailvise gains extra utility when used with the double row of
bench dogs which enable it to grip workpieces of virtually any shape and
lengths up to
51".
The shoulder vise, designed for horizontal holding, is unimpeded by
spindles. All metal vise parts are of electrogalvanized steel.
The base is of solid Danish beech. When the top is lifted off its locating
dowels the base may be folded flat for easy storage.
A fine craftsman's tool constructed for a lifetime of lse. Available also in
models from 31'2" to
80"
long. One with drawers and cabinets.

Master-orks in Wood
Portland Museum builds Bicentennial theme around it
The Portland Art Museum is marking the nation's
bicentennial anniversary with a year long series ofexhibitions
centered around the theme, "Master
Works in Wood. " The
Oregon institution chose wood because the state has no
colonial heritage as such and because it wanted to point up
the importance of wood, Oregon's principal natural resource ,
"as a medium of human expression of the highest order."
The exhibitions, which are the most ambitious in the
museum's 83-year history, are bringing to Portland wood
masterworks representing some of the world 's greatest
sculptural traditions.
The series is in five parts, the fi rst of which was held this
fa ll and fe atured key sculptures in wood fr om the twentieth
century .
During the Christmas season, the "Christian Tradition"
will be the theme, with religious images in wood from the
12th century to the present included, as well as altar pieces,
saints and religious events.
Late winter will see an exhibition on the woodcut print,
and during the summer there will be a selective invitational
exhibition of sculptures in wood and fu rniture by artists of
Oregon and Washington.
The fi nal exhibit, scheduled for late fa ll of next year, will
explore the use of wood in Oriental art from the Han dynasty
to the early nineteenth century, and will include 50 Japanese
and Chinese masterpieces in wood.
Bufalo Craftsmen Mount
'LanguageofVood'Show
Some 29 North American designer-craftsmen displayed
their recent work in a wide ranging show called the
"Language of Wood." It was jointly sponsored by the
Buffalo Craftsmen , Inc. and the Charles Burchfield Center at
the State University Campus at Buffalo . The show was held in
late October and November.
Among the exhibitors were Wesley Brett, D.L. Valenza,
Tage Frid, Alphonse Mattia, Sam Maloof, William Keyser,
Doug Sigler, C.R. Johnson, Walker Weed , Wendell Castle,
Nelson Delavan and Dennis Dorogi .
Buffalo Craftsmen is a large and active craft organization
with workshops, exhibitions and services fo r professional and
amateur artists , designers and craftsmen.
Students Build
Drying Shed
Woodworking students at Rochester
Institute of Technology near comple
tion of a shed in which to air-dry furn i
ture hardwoods that will be milled
fr om trees fo und in the area.
Pine logs for the beams were squared
on site, using an Alaskan mill attached
to a large chain saw ; loors and
sheathing are red oak: Traditional barn
joinery-pinned tenons and large
dovetails-was used throughout. Be
gun in the spring of 1975, the entire
project cost less than $3 ,000. Several
students now plan to build their own
homes by similar methods.

Wood Carvers Association
Memership at Record Level
The National Wood Carvers Association now has a record
10,200 members according to its president, Edward F.
Gallenstein .
The organization was started in 1953, but in 1965 still had
only 470 members. By 1970, it had jumped to 3000, and
now, over 10,000 .
Annual dues are $5, which also includes a subscription to
"Chip Chats, " an informative bimonthly publication, now
40 pages long.
The wood carvers are organized into chapters covering
practically every state ; some states have more than one. The
chapters vary as to activeness .
Each August the wood carvers sponsor an International
Wood Carvers Congress jointly with the Great Mississippi
Valley Fair in Davenport , Iowa. Last year a total of 127 carvers
representing 34 states and Canada submitted 383 carvings fo r
judging, a record participation.

Gallenstein at 7424 Miami Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45243 .
