#58, Letters) does himself a disservice in

believing himself a pretender. There are no pretenders, only

woodworkers and non-woodworkers. If he works with wood

frequently, then he's a woodworker.Everyone starts at the be

ginning and few become master craftsmen, so he shouldn't

be intimidated by inexperience or unfamiliar terms. They

come with time.

As for fear of butchering a hunk of expensive wood, he

should practice techniques on pine and scrap wood, working

with hardwoods when he becomes comfortable with the tech

niques. A well-fitted and finished piece is "fine woodwork

ing," whether in pine or ebony, and mistakes are the birth

places of wondrous details used to cover them up (and which

the observer usually believes to be intended decoration.)

If Mr. Fisher takes the time to carefully fit and finish his

wood, it will be a work of beauty, regardless of what he makes

or the wood he works with. "Fine woodworking" is a state of

mind - a quest for quality in what one does. Exotic tools and

expensive woods are secondary. I Sincerely hope that Mr.Fisher

stops being self-conscious and starts happily (and carefully)

chiseling away.

tiful, expressive articles ...handmade furniture is no more ex

pensive now, compared to earnings, than it has ever been. It's

the U.S. economy which is "unwoven from the warp and weft

of .. . reality, .. . estranged from the energy which steams in

everyday life;" likewise all those people who live in it. But this

economy is a strange hiccup in the long history of humanity, a

history in which the artisan has always had his or her rightful

place. It's still there.The artisan's fine opportunity is to awake

to it.

- Fletcher Cox, Tougaloo, Miss.

- Philip Wiener, El Toro, Cal.

The article "Getting Squared Away" was very interesting. As

much as I enjoy the beauty of a try square with a brass-lined

beam, I think the Stanley all-metal No. 12 square has much to

offer. Definitely not as high in quality or price as a Starrett, it's

still a very good tool. I have two such squares, a 6 in.and a 10 in.

As I don't do any carpentry or any large work, I don't own a

framing square.

When I wish to check my squares, I place the two squares

back-to-back along my 12-in. Starrett steel rule. Then I repeat

the operation with one of the squares and a third square.

Checking each pair of squares this way ensures that the angle

is 90°. Then, the inside of each square can be checked against

any one of the other two squares.

by Carlyle Lynch. Some time ago I came into possession of an

old spinet-type melodeon, cased in rosewood. Missing was

about 18 in. of intricately cut molding. When I inquired of

F, Jim Cummins referred to me Irv Rosen. In about a

month I received an 18-in. exact duplicate in rosewood from

Mr. Rosen, together with a modest bill for making the cutters

and labor.

I was delighted, but how in the world did he make it? Now I

know, almost. Thanks F , Carlyle Lynch and Irv Rosen.

- Henry A. Latimer, Rockville, Md.

I just finished reading your article on squares, which I en

joyed. That, in spite of the fact that I'm more interested in the

history of tools than in tolerances in thousandths of inches.

Some points regarding the article: You say the distinction

of having invented the steel square belongs to Stanley Tools.

No way! Metal squares go back to the dynastiC period in

Egypt. In any event, whatever Silas Hawes invented, Stanley

had nothing to do with it, or with Eagle Square, until the 20th

century. The Silas Hawes carpenters' square patent was not

granted in 1817, but in 1819. All this simply in the interest of

accuracy. - Paul B. Kebabian, South Burlington, Vt.

finally raises some of the big issues of furnituremaking in

print. But Gordon is missing half the point about art 'furni

ture, mainly because he relies on the spurious distinction be

tween art and craft. The notion that art is pure expression,

removed from uti

After reading your article on surface planers in FW #52, I

went out and purchased a new Makita model 2030 with the

jointer attached to the side. The thickness planer works great,

but I noticed the jointer was cutting a taper on the workpiece.

I laid a straightedge across the infeed and outfeed tables and

discovered them to be ,2 in. to s in. out of parallel.

I brought the machine to a service center, and they contact

ed a Makita distribution center. They were willing to send

parts, but couldn't assure us that the parts they sent would be

any better. According to the distributor, the tables are surface

ground separately at the factory and trial-and-error is used to

assemble the two, in hopes of getting an acceptable mate. We

ended up bolting the infeed and outfeed tables together, and

had them surface ground as a pair in order to true them up.

Since there's no means for adjusting the tables to match, my

advice is to take a straightedge with you if you intend to pur

chase either the model 2030 or 2030N.

ity and as such is the highest calling for

noble men, was originally a successful marketing ploy of Re

naissance virtuoso painters. It finally came into its own as the

cornerstone of the cult of the idle romantic individualist of

the 18th and 19th centuries. It has more to do with surplus

value than expression.

In fact, any furniture more adept than a plain pine box is an

art object: its builder made aesthetic chOices; it expresses a

mind, a milieu. A Hamada pot, an Albers weaving, a cabriole

leg are just as expressive as a de Kooning. But more than thiS,

they serve the user through their utility. Granted, much current

work is egotistical raving.This will be forgotten in ten years, but

at the moment it provides a fermenting mash, so to speak, from

which the excellent will emerge, much as a minor league nur

tures two or three future big leaguers passing through. The tra

ditions of the next centuries are developing today.

Gordon's adroit use of the Unknown Craftsman as an ideal

type provides a good basis for comparison to reality. But did

the Unknown Craftsman ever exist? Yanagi's enthusiasm is,

partly at least, romanticization of the primitive, much like

Rousseau's noble savage: civilized "fallen" people's nostalgia

for an imagined prelapsarian innocence. More likely, wood

work has always been practiced by people worried about how

to pay the bills, distracted enough to cut themselves, frustrated

by edges getting dull and knots that chip out. The tools may be

different, but the attitude is the same as it has always been.

Moreover, the place of the artisan in society has not changed,

contrary to Gordon's assertion.The need is still there for beau-

In FW #57, two lathes built by Jerry Blanchard were de

scribed. Although fine machines, there are a couple of im

provements he may like to incorporate in the future.

The red lathe would be more stable were the legs splayed

and cross-braced like the letter A. A longitudinal diagonal strut

would additionally prevent longitudinal swaying. Realistically,

the red lathe isn't going to be used for work greater than 24 in.

in diameter. If the bed had been taken through a foot past the

left-hand end of the headstock, then this would have enabled

outboard turning without a separate stand being required. Both

lathes would benefit from the use of two A-section V-belts to
