I teach woodworking to grades two through nine at the Park

School in Brookline, Mass. I have found that the children

have far greater success by having the coping-saw blades cut

on the pull stroke Oapanese Style) instead of the usual push

stroke. This works especially well for the younger children, as

it facilitates a smoother cut and a less frustrating experience. I

explain to the children about Japanese saws vs. American

saws. The second-graders "like the Japanese way much

better."

-Randy Altshule, Newton, Mass.

heard from are obviously too emotionally involved with the

esoterica of woodworking to see that anytime results are put

in a secondary position, the product has to suffer.

My personal opinion is that the only correct procedures are

those that produce the finest piece possible (and in the short

est amount of time if you are making it for sale). As long as

design doesn't suffer, I feel any tool, machine or procedure is

acceptable to accomplish the final results. After all, the buy

ing public or the appreciating eye couldn't care less whether

or not you derived sensual pleasure or therapy during the con

struction of the piece, as long as it is beautiful. Our product

is, after all, the true extension of ourselves, not the labor or

procedures that go into making it.

-Peter Kemme, Albany,

I am a retired industrial-arts teacher with over 29 years of

working with children. Your article "The Woodchuck"

(Nov. '79) is a ine article, however, Makowicki had better get

lots of malpractice insurance to protect himself, with students

working machines with loose sweater sleeves unrolled, and

especially children working in a shop without safety eye pro

tection. In New York state, all students and instructors must

wear eye protection in the shop, and even visitors must wear

the same protection. It's state law ....

-Lester R. Benstein, Sp ng Va /ey, N.

As a professional toymaker, I was very interested in your issue

on toys (Nov. '79). However, your two articles on baby rattles

present a signiicant hazard. Neither rattle design will meet

current U.S. regulations on baby rattles. That regulation bans

any rattle that can go through an opening 1

in. by 2 in.,to a

in. The handles of both rattles in your articles

will not pass that criterion of safety.

We make a rattle similar toJohn Townsend's rattle, but we

meet the regulation by making a double-ended rattle with

both ends over 1

I have never written a letter commenting on anything before,

but after reading the Sept. '79 issue I felt compelled. Specii

cally, I am referring to the editorial comments in the article

by Alasdair G.B. Wallace. In it he pro longingly details his

feelings about machines versus hand work. I can't help but

feel after reading this and similar articles that we wood

workers as a group are too esoteric and philosophic about our

craft. We often lose sight of what we are trying (or should be

trying) to do. Wallace in his article even states that his prod

uct is secondary to the process. Wallace and others I have

ring-type rattle when the new regulation came out.

This is not an idle regulation, as the U.S. Consumer Prod

uct Safety Commission has documented 10 infant choking

deaths, and 19 other incidents where the child did not die,

since 1943.
