Letters

Your article on covered bridges in FWW # 46 contained a

common misconception about why thse bridges were covered.

The roof and sides of covered bridges kept snow and rain off

the bridge, but this was, at best, of secondary importance.

Any New England historian worth his salt knows the real

reason covered bridges were built. The primary mode of

transportation when most covered bridges were built was the

horse and buggy. Horses are very reluctant to cross an open

bridge over running water. By making the bridge look like a

barn, the horses would trot right into it without hesitation.

-Steve Cox, Windham, N. H.

plants, of course, play host to only the worst insects and most

devastating diseases. Pure stands of anything encourage and

make easy the spread of both.

Perhaps I should have mentioned this irst... start young

and plan for your grandchildren to carry out the harvest, since

we are talking about at least a 150-year rotation for the kind

of nice heartwood that woodworkers like. In the interim, you

might consider either raising squirrels or selling black walnut

fudge! Or both.

-William C. Paxton, reensburg, Pa.

Your Taiwanese tool article (FWW #46) included a quote

attributed to me that seems to indicate that Rockwell had

seriously considered closing its Tupelo plant and importing

our machines from Taiwan. This causes great consternation

among our work force, especially since we are in the process

of becoming Delta International Machinery.

I would like to clarify our position: We are manufacturers

of woodworking and metalworking machinery, and we feel

that our product line is among the best in the world. We

import some machines, such as the RC-33 planer from our

own factory in Brazil, and we apply the same rigid qualiry

standards to these machines as to those produced in the Unit

ed States. We have made large investments ro improve pro

ductiviry and capaciry at the Tupelo plant, and will continue

our efforts in new-product development and design.

In summary, we are in the machinery business for the long

term. We do not plan to impair the reputation we have

earned over ifry years in this business by going after short

term goals.

I read with commiseration John Harwood's article on starting

a grove of black walnut trees (FWW #44). As a forester and

landscape architect, I plant trees and advise clients as to how

and when to cut them. I anticipated each of the problems

Harwood discussed and could have added several more he

apparently was nOt blessed with.

Here's a clearer course of action and, I hope, an easier ave

nue to any who plan a walnut plantation. First, clear the land

to a point where it can be mowed very low with a regular

lawn mower. Plow and disc only if it is toO rough to mow.

This will eliminate the mouse habitat. Plant seeds 2 in. deep

and cover them with soil. A bulb planter works very well. Set

the seeds in regular and straight rows by using a long rope

with lags tied at lO-ft. intervals. Plant where the flags are,

then move the rope in lO-ft. increments over the acreage. As

added protection against rodents, set 4x4 posts (hawk perches

by day, owl perches by night) in the open spaces throughout

the acreage, 7 ft. above ground level.

Alternately interplant each walnut with red or white oak.

These are equally valuable species, grow at the same rate, and

discourage the insects and diseases that prey on pure stands of

any species. Since weed whipping and mowing can eliminate

ten years of tree growth in the time it takes to look at a

songbird, I suggest interplanting the rows with a tall forsyth

ia. This spreads to make a total ground cover, does not be

come weedy by seeding like privet, multilora rose or tartar

ian honeysuckle, and can be removed with a brushog when

the trees suppress it. Heartlessly remove any interloping

weed trees.

Twenry years later, when the overstory is established and

the understory cleared, the real care begins. Fertilize every year

with a full-feeding 00-10-10) fertilizer, hand-cast. Healthy

f ord D, Schulz, M,D" Belmont, Mass,

For people who don't wish ro ruin eight T-squares, as Jeff

Sherman suggested in FWW #46, p.

-Mi

0, I discovered long

ago that router- and bit-specific fences could be made from

almost any piece of scrap plywood. Half-inch Baltic birch is

my favorite. JUSt measure from the bit's cutting edge at its

outermost position ro the edge of the router

base and rip a hunk of scrap ro that measure

ment. With one edge of this piece aligned with

the proposed dado, draw a line along its oppo

site edge, then move it over and clamp it ro

the line. Mill the dado, using your combina

tion fence/gauge to guide the router. Or ruin a

$15 T-square.

Many of my colleagues here at Formica Corpo

ration very much enjoy reading each issue of

Fine Wo odworking. An article by Jack Gavin

appearing in the March/April issue caused us

great concern, however. Gavin says, .....'For

tive plastic laminates .... " Formica has been

used as our company's trademark and as part

of our trade name since 1914. It is a well

known trademark distinguishing decorative

Whatever the job at hand,

Makita makes a tool

that can master it. After all,

we're one of the world's largest

manufacturers of power tools.

And since power tools

are all we make, we put more efort into developing new ways to

make them better. Which is why, for more and more Americans, the

vey irst home improvement to be made is the purchase

of a Makita power tool.
