Editors Notebook

Rising to the challenge-We all love

David and Goliath stories. You know the

kind: Little guy faces seemingly insur

mountable obstacles and not only survives

but triumphs. Some of our woodworking

projects probably fall into that category,

too. We take on the big challenge, find out

it's even more difficult than we thought,

but somehow we pull it off. It takes perse

verance and vision to succeed in those

kinds of projects.

A special kind of vision is what led

Patrick Trujillo to succeed in his David and

Goliath story. His triumph is the New

Mexico governor's desk that graces our

back cover, and his story appears on

p. 102 in our "Notes and Comment" sec

tion. Trujillo's vision allowed him to take

on a challenge unlike anything he had

done before and succeed.

As a side note to Trujillo's story, I should

mention that it was a reader who tipped us

off to the story behind the New Mexico

govenor's desk. Ruth Amernick of Berke

ley, Calif., sent us a letter, asking us to re

port on the competition that led to Trujillo's

commission. We always appreciate the tips

our readers send us. All of our editors

spend a lot of time on the road, visiting

woodworkers and developing articles, but

no matter how much we travel, there's al

ways something we might miss. That's

when we're glad to have our readers help

ing us as extra eyes and ears.

mon adjustments can be made qUickly and

easily. The magazine article and video are

a powerful combination, allowing any

woodworker to learn how to improve

planer performance. For more on the

planer tune-up Video Take, see p. 77.

One final note about Vaughan's earlier

jointer knife article and video: Several

readers wanted more specific information

about the dial indicator and replacement

tip Vaughan used. He recommends buying

a Mitutoyo (101-204) or Starrett (6632/S or

70793) replacement tip. His source is J&L

Industrial, P.O. Box 7604, Charlotte, N.C.

28241; (800) 521-9520. They have a mini

mum order requirement of $25, so if you

need the indicator as well as the tip,

Vaughan suggests you might want to order

both at the same time.

P-If you read

Nick Yinger's article in WW

#106 explain

ing how he made his own high-volume,

low-pressure (HVLP) turbine spray unit

and then tried to follow his recommenda

tion fo r a spray gun to go with it, we owe

you an apology. The gun cited in tl1e article

won't work with a turbine. In his original

manuscript, Nick had praised the perfor

mance of his DeVilbiss JGHV-501, a tur

bine-compatible gun. When we learned

that model was out of production, we

asked a DeVilbiss distributor what gun had

superseded it and were told about the

modelJGHV 5285. That's the one we listed

in the article. Unfortunately, what we

didn't know was tl1at although llie 5285 is

an HVLP gun, it won't run off a turbine. It's

an HVLP conversion gun: It hooks up to a

conventional compressor and converts llie

high pressure air to

proved jointer performance. Many readers

wrote to tell us just that. All the same, we

were surprised when so many readers not

oly wrote or called to laud the article but

also wanted a follow-up that covered

thickness planers.

We sent Vaughan right back to the shop,

and without delay, he has produced an in

genious approach to planer tune-ups. At

the center of the technique are two shop

made fixtures Vaughan developed to hold

a small dial indicator in all the positions

necessary to adjust most common thick

ness planers. Made out of scrapwood in

just minutes, the two fixtures mate with an

inexpensive dial indicator to make preci

sion devices any woodworker can afford

and use easily. His article begins on p. 72.

But there's more. Vaughan has once

again joined forces with associate editor

Alec Waters to produce a Video Take

(should we call it a sequel to his jointer

knives tape?) to go with the planer article.

Viewers will get a chance to look over the

expert's shoulder as he shows how com-
