dignity and class. As in people, these attributes are judged

on the basis of character and content, not the cover. I like

the look.

quality piece I can, and if they can pay me to do it, I will. If

someone wants a home entertainment center but doesn't have

an unlimited budget, I'll design and build the best piece I'm

able to within their budget. Odds are, it will have oak

plywood sides and shelves, and a solid face frame with frame

and-panel doors. My point is that as a woodworker/business

man, if someone wants something Out of wood, I'll build it.

As for "Cleopatra's Mirror," I loved it. Levity is good for

the soul.

-J im Taylor, Lancaster, Tex.

Just a quick note about your new color format ... . One of the

truly elegant features of all past issues was the careful use of

excellent black-and-white drawings and sketches in articles,

Methods of Work, etc. I think the addition of color photo

graphs adds a lot to your format. The color-rendered sketches

articles about the materials we are using. Yet I can sympathize

with Mr. Hentschel's' sentiments. I have struggled for years

cutting dovetails for free because no one is willing to pay for

them. ("I can buy this at an antiques store for ifteen hundred

dollars." Sound familiar?) I now do my "ine" woodworking

my way for myself, family and friends as the sort of amateur

that Krenov suggests. Because of the sweet smell of money

under the saw at work, I can finally luxuriate in the sweet

smell of walnut under my sharp saw at home.

I don't ind any contradiction. One type of woodworking is

traditional and pleasing; the other is more in balance with the

realities of inite resources and budgetary limitations. Everyone

I know has come to some kind of agreement with these rwo

sides of the same broad issue. To devote your publication to

only one side would leave a lot of people looking somewhere

else for the rest of their information, and nobody does it better

than

mentions the dangers of umes. Perhaps you will be interested

in the unfortunate experience of a friend of mine. He cleaned

his paintbrushes in gasoline in the kitchen sink and carefully

lushed the gasoline down the drain. A minute later there was

a loud bang and his basement was a mass of lames. Before

the ire trucks arrived, the whole basement was gutted.

The gasoline had gone down the drainpipe, escaped into

the basement through an uncapped sewer drain, and reached

a pilot light. Fortunately no one was hurt, but my friend is a

very embarrassed and wiser man.

mixed feelings. While I agree that Fi ne Wo odworking has set

a standard of quality and should uphold that, I thought his

letter overwrought.

I started reading Ann Taylor'S article "Plywood Basics"

(FWW #46) with a jaundiced eye, thinking to myself,

"What's this, an article on how to build a birdhouse from

scraps around the garage?" She did, however, make some

good points. It was refreshing to read an article on something

almost all woodworkers use with little thought-plywood.

Like it or not, plywood is here to stay.

If someone comes to me and wants me to build the finest

WW #46. Here is an alternative method that has

worked very well fo r me for holding a 5-in. dia. mirror.

I use a fly-cutter, set to 5s in., to cut a s-in. deep round

groove on the inside face of the front piece. I then reset the

fly-cutter to 4; in., turn the blank over and cut completely

through. This second cut creates a window, and leaves the

groove from the irst cut as a concentric rabbet to receive

the mirror. The technique is much faster than routing out the

entire back piece.

I purchase 5-in. dia. mirrors from a local supply house at a

cost so low that I don't even try to cut my own. I have found

that resawn X-in. blanks will match perfectly on the glueline

without surface-planing prior to gluing.

I'd like to join the discussion about Taiwanese electric motors

Three months ago I bought a drill press powered by a

a -HP small -frame induction motor. The irst hole I drilled

(X-in. dia., in wood) burned the motor out. I took it back

and the company gave me another. This drilled three holes

and quit. I took it back again, and the third motor they gave

me ran backwards and could not be reversed.

A fourth trip, and this time I insisted on testing the motor

in the store. Since the drill press came dismantled in a box, I

agreed to test the motor only, putting a light load on it by

hand-holding a broken yardstick on each side of the motor

shaft. Result? Two new motors would not run, another ran
