# 103 for Fine Wood

working's Home Furniture, we had no

idea how many people would be attracted

to the concept of this new book. What we

were looking for were fine examples of

practical furniture pieces, not artwork

meant for a gallery, but solid craftsman

ship in pieces meant to be used. The re

sponse was beyond our expectations.

It started as a trickle; then, sometin1e just

after the holidays, the u·ickle turned into a

small, steady stream. But just as the dead

line door was closing, the stream turned

into a deluge big enough to rival some of

the record storms we had here in New

England this winter. It took us weeks just

to get the entries sorted and logged into a

computer data base to keep track of them.

It wasn't until that was done that we really

knew what we had: nearly 800 entries,

most of them of high caliber. Considering

that we asked for not only photos but writ

ten explanations and even drawings,

those entries represent a serious efort by

some dedicated woodworkers.

But there was more astonishment to

come. We got a hint of it when we started

opening the packages and finding multi

ple entries, as many as nine from one

woodworker. The nearly 800 entries came

from fewer than 500 woodworkers.

wich bags to professional clear sleeves.

Some of the entries were presented in fan

cy binders with typeset covers; others were

handwritten on loose-leaf notebook paper.

But topping them all was one big box. It

arrived rather unceremoniously on or

secretary's countertop. The box was about

2 ft. on each side, and we couldn't imagine

what kind of an entry was inside. On

opening, we all ducked for cover as the

Styrofoam peanuts began cascading out.

In the center of the Styrofoam was a pack

age wrapped tightly in that plastic bubble

wrap my kids so delight in popping. Inside

that were five glossy black cardboard pre

sentation folders, each with an entry.

Whether your entry was one of the

handwritten ones or professionally pack

aged, be assured we'll look hard at all of

them. What we've seen so far assures us it

won't be difficult to fi ll up the new book

wid1 some finely crafted and truly practical

work in wood. Thanks to everyone who

took the time to enter. Watch this space for

updates on the progress of the book.

Often the sim

plest tools in our shops play crucial roles in

the success of our projects. And just as of

ten, it seems those simple things are over

looked when it comes to articles about

selecting and using tools. Bernie Maas

helps to fill that gap with his article on

clamps (see p. 54). Bernie's extensive ex

perience in his own shop and as a univer

sity woodworking instructor shows in his

thoughtful comments and handy tips.

But the article is just the beginning.

Bernie has also helped us make another

Video Take (see p. 59), offering readers

a video tour of clamps and clamping pro

cedures. Between both the video and the

article, even the most experienced wood

worker is likely to learn something new

about these basic and essential wood

working tools.

Then, once you have a good grip on the

world of clamps, you can turn to Jim

Tolpin's article on p. 74 to put those tools

to use making smaller stock into bigger

boards. With today's premium prices for

wide boards-if you can ind such boards

at all-more and more woodworkers are

edge-gluing and face-gluing stock to get

material of the dimensions they need. Jim

describes his practical approach, even of

fering insights into such mysteries as how

much glue to use.
