Editors Notebook

WW #103,

we are looking for examples of finely

crafted household furniture to showcase

in a new book. We are not looking for art

furniture. But we do want pieces that show

top-quality craftsmanship and are of a

practical design that most people would

want in their own homes. Each piece of

urniture will be displayed in the book

with photos and some information about

its materials and construction.

We're excited about this new project and

want to make sure as many people as pos

sible enter. But all entries must be received

by Jan. 31, 1994. Entry forms were in

We know from our VISItS to shops

around the country that ear protection de

vices, ranging from simple ear plugs and

ear mufs to elaborate machine sound baf

fling, are much more in evidence. I know

one woodworker who even keeps a deci

bel meter handy to measure sound levels

in his shop.

We want to hear more about readers' so

lutions to noise problems. Have you ig

ured out an ingenious way to quiet your

power tools while still maintaining perfor

mance and safety? What about shop vacu

ums and dust-collection units? Drop us a

line with your ideas, and we'll try to in

clude the best ones in an upcoming article.

WW #84,

Elliott is known for his turned wall sculp

tures made from bigleaf maple burl slabs.

The turners were immediately drawn to his

custom-built Jim Thompson lathe. Filled

with sand, the lathe weighs about 3,000 Ibs.

The massively sturdy setup was evident

as Elliott invited the visiting turners to try

their hands on a faceplate-mounted burl

slab nearly 3 ft. across. But because few

turners have such a behemoth lathe in

their shops, he also had set up a General

lathe for much smaller spindle and bowl

work. In no time, turners of all abilities and

interests were swapping tips and tech

niques. Pro or beginner, they were all en

couraged to try and to learn new skills.

Fine Woodworking serves as a commu

nications network of sorts for woodwork

ers, but local guilds can be indispensable

for hands-on information. No guild in your

area? Think about starting one.

Folow up-Bradley S. Rubin's intriguing

crib design

#103, p. 19, but additional forms, with all

the rules, can be obtained by calling (800)

283-7252, Ext. 554.

A final note about entries. Some of the

early entries have not been complete. We

can't judge incomplete entries, so make

sure you follow all the instructions that

come with the entry form.

Now hear tis-The recent introduction

of quiet sawblades (see "What's ew and

Hot" on p. 60) has once more raised the is

sue of noise in the woodshop.

for the guild-Woodworkers tend

to be a solitary lot, frequently plying their

crat alone, reveling in unique and creative

solutions for shop problems. But others

hunger for a chance to swap those great

ideas with their colleagues.

That's where guilds play an important

role, bringing woodworkers together in an

atmosphere of collegiality to share what

they know. I recently had the opportunity

to attend just such a meeting hosted by the

utneg Woodturners Association, a guild

serving turners in Connecticut.

Going

(WW # 100) using drawer slide

hardware for the drop sides, has inspired

readers to try building similar cribs. The
