Letters

Mesquite:

Leters

s t wods on locknuts-The item on locknuts in the "Letters"

section of Fine Wo odworking #96 causes me to respond imme

diately, for safety's sake. Here's the way they work: Initially the

large nut screws against the job followed by the thinner locknut

that snugs against the top of the large nut, but that's not the end

of it all. The following steps must be taken to ensure that the

nuts cannot possibly unscrew together, thus allowing the job to

come loose.

Panels on the move-Christian Becksvoort's excellent article

on wood movement in

WW #9 4 has raised a couple of points I

do not understand.

He states that a 31-in.-wide board could expand and contract

as much as % in. with normal swings of humidity and that the

frame-and-panel construction will only have movement in the

stiles. It would seem to me that the back itself will also move

more than the Y4-in. total allowed for movement and that the

stiles will be forced apart.

1. Tighten the major nut against the job a trifle more than is re

quired. Use a torque wrench if possible for greater certainty.

He also describes the sliding joint allowing movement be

tween the sides and the top molding. It would seem to me that

if the molding were installed flush with the back when humidi

ty was high, it could project from the back as much as

2. Tighten the thin locknut against the top of the major

nut with the correct amount of torque (Le. less than that of

the large nut).

3. Hold the locknut steady with a wrench, and with another

wrench undo the large nut against it. There will be an imper

ceptible amount of slackening of the large nut but only until the

correct amount of torque is reached-remember that you over

tightened it initially.

, in. in

periods of low humidity.

One inal note-I am surprised that Becksvoort did not use

dust panels in what looks like an expensive piece of furniture.

-Wener

C Steinle, Roanoke, Va.

To undo the nuts, hold the top locknut and tighten the large

nut a fraction, and hold it while the top nut is undone.

Chs Becksvoort repies: My apologies for a slight inaccura

cy. A latsawn panel of cherry 31 in. wide, shrinking from 14%

moisture content (m.e.) to 6% m.c. (average annual indoor

range, not taking wood inish into account) would shrink about

-Joe Moore, Brockvile, Onto Canada

% in. This is based on the fact that latsawn cherry has an ap

proximate shrinkage rate of 71% from green to oven-dry. That's

why I use frame-and-panel construction with a quartersawn

cherry frame (shrinkage rate is only 3.7%). So the two outer

stiles at 2Y4 in. each have a total s

Stoe planes on ther sides-I can still remember an admoni

tion of my shop teacher a half-century ago to never lay a plane

on its working surface; lay it on its side, so the cutting edge can't

be damaged. As a good student, I still store my few planes on

their sides in a drawer. Beautiful tool cabinets, such as the one in

the October 1992 issue, that for compactness need the planes

upright, might have a little groove cut under the blade, so they

aren't resting on the cutting edge.

-James

k age O/4 in. from 14% m.c.

to 6% m.e. That amounts to only a bit more than Y4 in. on each

side, easily accommodated by normal compression of the wood

fibers. Each of the back panels is 11% in. wide and shrinks just

under 4 in. The case side, at 19 in., shrinks just about % in. Please
