Leters

John Marcoux's article "Triangular Sensibility" (F' #-18)

deserved more and certainly better qualified criticism than it

got in that single letter from Lyle Erman (Letters, F\' #49).

He characterized M r. Marcoux's work as dogmatic and use

less, and said in an obI ique way that it was cheap (as opposed

to inexpensive). When Erman went on to say: "I would be

hard pressed to allow one of these pieces to occupy valuable

floor space in my home" one wondered if he was passing

judgment on the pieces or was he telling us how much he

paid for his house.

The important issue raised by Mr. Marcoux's \vork seems to

be one of aesthetics. Are things like intricate joints, marquetrv,

rare materials or arcane finishes necessary components of

good design? Certainly not. Frank Lloyd Wright, who knew a

couple of things about the subject, characterized good design

by the words "simplicity and repose". I find myself wanting to

add the word "elegance" but must admit that elegance is prob

ably more of a bonus than an essential element. At any rate, by

this or any other acceptable definition, Mr. Marcoux's twO ta

bles-the red one on p. 37 and the yellow one on p. -a-are of

good design and are elegant. They also represent a refreshing

departure from the heavy hand laid on by some in the name of

craftsmanship.

F Giroilt, Brant Lake, NY

Richard Layman's otherwise informative note on lumber pric

ing (F1' #50, p. 112) contains one error commonly made in

any production seuing. The 25% lumber loss due to drying

defects (think of this as X% loss of any product due to any

reason) does not increase total cost, but does increase unit

cost because of the smaller remaining volume. If the total cost

of processing and drying 1000 bd. ft. is $950 but only 750 bd.ft.

remain usable, then the unit cost is $950 divided by 0.75,

which equals $1,267 per thousand. Layman adds 25% of $950

($237.50 plus 950) for an incorrect total of $1,187.50 per

thousand.

that his bark was worse than his bite and this is surely the case

with this guy. Actually, I figure that the man is merely a Har

vard Business School graduate who should have gone to the

Yale School of Forestry. He may have become a member of

middle management and lumbered around the same job too

long (probably as a Branch Manager). Well, you can't blame

him for hoping to wind up in the chips, but I'd guess he's just

headed to be another slab of particleboard, unless he can get

Each has his own style of writing. As an amateur woodworker,

I like the articles by Roger HoI mes along with the illustrat ions.

I, toO, am a charter subscriber, and find your magazine bet

are not for change then everyone would still have a horse and

-Peter L. Rose, Saddle Brook, NI

I am an electrical engineer by profession

and an avid woodworker.

I can attest by both fact and experi

than one at 110 volts, especially when motors are over

This past year, a friend and I acquired a pair of Tennessee

Walking Horses-about 16hands and J ,250 pounds each. As a

result, I am trying to gather any and all information about

buggies, sleighs, surreys and anything else that could be

drawn by Single-hitch or a two-horse team. In particular, ['m

interested in building a sleigh and a Single-axle buggy to use

with either one or both of the horses.

and connected to lines that run longer than 25 ft. This is be

cause of resistance in the wire, and Ohm's la\v: When the

voltage is doubled, the current is cur in half. The resistance

loss in the power line is cut to one-fourth (I 2R). This is why

most large motors are run at -110 volts or higher and transmis

sion lines many thousands of volts.

We woodworkers are often working on remote sites with

long power lines, or have minimum-size wire in our shops, so

anything that delivers more power to the blade, increases mo

tor life (low voltage causes motors to heat up, and many bun

out) and saves money (it costs less to wire for 220 volts be

cause smaller wire can be used) should be encouraged. Opti

mum motor performance will be obtained by using the largest

wire, the shortesr runs, and the highest voltage available.

C. West, Scale Woodcraft, Georgetown, Conn.

After reading several articles in FI1,\'regarding wood-dust haz

ards, I decided that I had better take some precautions too. I

came across a plastic mask that fits over the chin, mouth and

nose the ame way that paper filters do (F! #43, p. 66). A

small squirrel-cage fan blows fresh air in from the outside

through a 2�-in. pipe to the lathe bench. Then the �lir goes

through a 6 ft. length of X-in. flexible plastic pipe that con

nects to the mask in front of the chin. After passing the nose,

the air exits out holes at the sides of the mask. J have used this

setup for some time, and it cuts down tremendously on the

amount of dust inhaled. Tn my opinion, the plastic mask docs

not impair vision any more than the paper-filter types do. For

14.98 prepaid, the plasric mask and 6-ft. of flexible hose are

I would appreciate some official clarification regarding the

sale and availability of back issues of Fille Woodworking. The

Nov./Dec. issue has a notice of a back-issue sale with price

reductions for volume purchases. The main paint of conten

tion regards the sold-out indicators over various issues.

F!W has always had, as a general policy, a full supply of

back issues going back to the very first issue. A phone call

placed to Taunton Press resulted in information cOl1lrary to

available (without the fan) from Daby's General Store, Brant

Lake, N.Y. 12815. They also sell a quiet-running squirrel-cage

fan rated at approximately 60 cu.ft./min., but a fan from a hair

dryer might do just as well if the asbestos and the heating unit

are removed.
