Freres of Paris made

banding for the cabinet

makers of Europe. Using

methods that yielded top-quality

inlay, the company made over

8,000 styles of banding. After their

bankruptcy in the 30's, the

remaining stock (over 200 styles)

lay virtually untouched until we

bought it in 1989.

Because we are facing a move,

we have reduced prices on all of

our banding from 10% to 60%.

About one quarter of the 240

styles we had originally are now

sold out, but we still have many

spectacular types let such as the

pewter laden one shown full size

at page bottom. Our 8-page color

brochure shows all the styles.

With a few exceptions, the

colors in the Buffard bands are

the natural colors of the exotic

woods that are their components.

This is all sawn banding, not

sliced, and all layers are face

grain. Cabinetry incorporating

these bands will be the collectors'

pieces of the future because

nobody makes banding of this

quality, ornateness, and range

today.

Rings don't belong in the woodshop

For years, I'd heard the warnings about

wearing a wedding ring (or any jewelry)

while working in the woodshop, but it

took a nonwoodworking accident to bring

the point home. Without going into the

gory details, I recently caught my ring on

something while I was working outside

and came close to pulling of both ring and

finger. ter the stitches were removed and

a little therapy, the finger is pretty much

back to normal. Other folks who suffer

similar accidents aren't so lucky.

At Fine Wo odworking, we work hard to

make sure we describe and illustrate safe

practices. Where there are dangers, we try

to point them out and offer tips to avoid

trouble. Jewelry is definitely one of those

trouble areas, but it's one many of us skirt

around. Even the doctor who sewed me

up, who happened to be a woodworking

hobbyist and an WW

n s into a

full meal- Whenever we review tools,

we encourage the whole staff to help out

for a more thorough review. I had the op

portunity to join in on Charley Robinson's

review of plate joiners (see p. 52), and the

experience was eye-opening.

Although it's no longer new technology,

joining wood witl1 pressed wood biscuits

is still in its infancy. But it is growing fast

both in acceptance by woodworkers do

ing quality work and by manufacturers de

veloping new products fo r the process.

Clearly, the competition is healthy as it

helps to improve the quality of machines

and lowers prices. For those who still

haven't tried plate joinery, I recommend

checking it out. You may be surprised how

quickly and easily you can make su·ong,

precise joints, especially in sheet goods.

Making a contribution to share wood

working knowledge-One of the things

that is both a challenge and an opportuni

ty for Fi ne Wo odworking is how far-lung

both our readers and our contributors are.

In this issue alone, there are articles and

photographs from across the United

States, Canada and even Australia. The di

versity of our authors reflects the diversity

of our readership.

The same is true of our contributing edi

tors. Last fa ll, we brought them together

for a special meeting. They came from as

far away as California and Texas to our of

fices here in Connecticut, all with one goal

in mind: to help improve the quality of

Fine Wo odworking magazine. In a con

ference filled with frank discussion and se

rious reflection on how best to share

valuable woodworking information, the

contributing editors brought their diverse

interests and backgrounds to the effort.

Tage Frid, the senior member of our ros

ter of contributing editors, came from

Rhode Island to give us the benefit of his

experience. Christian Becksvoort inter

rupted his busy custom fu rnituremaking

work to drive down from Maine. Jim

Richey, who has done the "Methods of

Work" column since the black-and-white

days, came up from Texas. Robert Vaughan

set aside his woodworking machine repair

duties to fly here from Virginia. Sandor

Nagyszalanczy took time away from his

book and furniture projects to fly here

from California. And Mario Rodriguez took

a short hiatus from his woodworking and

teaching activities to drive over from ew

Yo rk. It was the irst time they all had met

face to face.

We appreciate their commitment to the

magaZine. The breadth of their talents, ex-
