This is in response to J. Robison Krup (FWW #45) on the

use of fruitwoods. I have no experience with their use as

lumber, but as a dedicated wood sculptor, I've found that

lemon, orange and grapefruit are medium-hard woods, are

buttery to cut, take a silky finish, and occur in a wide variery

of colors and markings. The logs are dificult to season with

out checking, but then, what isn't? Loquat is pure silk, so is

olive. I find avocado too spongy for my taste, but some carv

ers love it.

I, too, feel a terrible sense of loss when these beautiful

woods are wasted. Creating objects from them satisfies a deep

need to recycle and preserve a truly precious commodiry.

WW #46,

12, about a method for stabilizing wooden candlesticks by

pouring molten lead into the bottoms. Let me recommend

good ventilation and a strong crosswise draft! Molten lead

produces lead fumes, and lead fumes in the lungs is a quick

route to lead poisoning. One of the shudders of my early years

as a chemist for a railroad was to hear about workers who

could press pus from under their fingernails-advanced lead

poisoning. Their occupation? They ladled a molten lead

alloy out of an open pot into brass bearings. They don't do

that anymore. -Elton Schooling, Sacramento, Calf

Mr. Schramm, of Los Gatos, Calif., wrote in

( WW #47, p. 14), I've had rusting prob

lems on tools and I also have acidic skin, which can cause

additional rust. I've found that you can completely resolve

these problems by using a solution of natural beeswax and

painters' sub-turp (mineral spirits). The best part is that the

viscosiry is entirely up to you and no measuring is required.

Place chunks of wax in a large glass jar and add enough sub

turp to cover the wax. In three to five days the wax will be in

solution and you can add either ingredient to thicken or thin

the mixture as needed. This mix is great for wood or metal,

and I've been using it on my tools for more than ten years.

It can be reapplied as required.

WW #46, p. 8) that the Inca table

saw is unsafe could not be further from the truth. I have

personally found the saw to be exceptionally safe. Mr. Irion is

correct in his assertion that it is inherently unsafe to run a

blade on an Inca tablesaw more than X in. above the stock;

however, changing the blade in order to stay safe is one of the

minor concessions one makes in owning the Inca saw.

My workbench has several drawers, all with wooden glides.

One of the drawers seems to always end up full of junk, and

gets rather heavy. One day in my shop I came upon a jar full

of marbles that my kids had left lying around. I thought, why

not make a drawer glide out of marbles? The drawing

below shows what turned out to work well, and, much to my

fm (such as Saran Wrap) to protea the board from glue

squeeze-out. I tape the plastic to the hardboard with masking

tape, then dispose of it after I've removed the veneered piece

from the press. It's an inexpensive expedient to cleaning up

dried glue later.

We have been in business for many years, and insuring our

shop against f1re loss is a major yearly expense. We can't

be the only ones in this position. There must be companies

out there who are willing to insure woodworkers at a realistic

rate. It would be nice to ind them. Also, with the number of

subscribers your magazine has, I wonder if it would be possi

ble to form a group to get a good rate on health insurance

for us self-employed artists?

surprise, the system is not as noisy as I'd thought it might be.

The marbles are small, about ;; in., as used in Chinese check

ers. This makes the grooves easy to machine with either a

-Horace L. Adams, Mount Dora, Fla.

It was with much sadness that I read of the death of

A.W. Marlow in the May/June issue. I, too, feel as if I have

lost a good friend. I irst met Marlow through his book, Fine

Furniture for the Amateur Cabinetmaker. I had never before

encountered an authoritative book on cabinetmaking that was

so well written and so nicely illustrated. For a number of years

I wondered if the author was still alive.

Around 1970 I had an opportuniry to visit Marlow in his

shop, and I was inally able to thank him for the help and

inspiration he had given me through his book. We have lost

not only an outstanding cabinetmaker, but an author who was

Re Brian DeMarens' comment about the poor tracking of a

Sears belt sander (FWW # 4 7, p. 18). Following four repairs

for the same problem within less than two years, I gave up. I

packed my sander carefully and sent it to the Sears president

in Chicago. I told him I didn't want it and suggested that it

be mounted in the lobby of Sears Tower as testimony to poor

qualiry COntrol.

His reply letter admonished me. I was advised that there

were no repair facilities at Sears Tower-missed the point,

huh? My gesture was attention-getting, however, and the re-

4 Fine Woodworking

Re hide-glue preservative (Q&A, May/June). My mae

stro, Richard Schneider, brought the following proced\lre back

from his apprenticeship in Mexico: Chop a few cloves of garlic

as ine as possible, wrap them in a tightly woven cotton cloth,

and tie with a string to make a sachet-like bag. Drop the bag

into the hot glue. When the glue foams, skim the foam off.

Leave the bag in the pot until the glue has been all used up

or discarded. -Abraham Wechter, Paw Paw, Mich.

Beeswax is recommended for lots of things. Me, I keep some

in a hole in my hammer handle-it's just the thing for lubri

cating nails and screws. But where do you get beeswax these

days? Easy. Pick up a toilet-bowl seal ring at the local plumb

ing supply house.
