Letters
When I was a small boy I was fascinated by the woodworking my grandfather did. He made and repaired intricate clock cases, window sashes, door frames and furniture and he used old-time tools like a froe. adz, wooden planes, scorps and breast drill. He had the patience to explain tools to me and how to use them. The two points he instilled in me were quality of work and appreciation of tools. My father repaired and replaced ornate woodwork in railway passenger cars in the days when most all...

Golden Oak Finish
Golden Oak is a low-luster, open-pore finish I produce with one stain and one glaze. This finish brings out the best qualities of oak by reproducing the timeless look of rich, aged shellac. I learned about Golden Oak when I first started finishing down in South Florida. At the time, it was wildly popular among the many transplanted Northerners who had grown weary of the dark, sophisticated woodwork of their sunless New York City digs. You can use either lacquer or varnish for your sealer and...

Rubbing Out A Satin Finish
A Final Treatment That Leaves Your Finish Feeling as Good as It Looks good for a finish to look great, but if you want a finish that will feel as g lt x gt d as it looks, you'll need to rub it out. Rubbing out a finish means working it with a mild abrasive such as pumice or steel wool. The abrasive produces extremely fine, uniform scratches that go in the direction of the wood grain, helping to hide both brush marks and the orange peel texture common to sprayed finishes. And, while the result...
Ball Bearing
To balance a bandsaw wheel, drill shallow holes inside the rim at the heavy points on the wheel. To balance a bandsaw wheel, drill shallow holes inside the rim at the heavy points on the wheel. It's worth noting two other factors about handsaws. First, most handsaw tables tilt 45 to the outboard side, but not all tilt toward the column. If you want to jig up to cut dovetails on your bandsaw, make sure the table will tilt at least 8 to the left so you can cut the pins. See chart. Second, don't...

When Veritas Tools designs a product it likes to improve on what's already on the market, and its hold-down is no exception.

This hold-down is easy to adjust, but I found it difficult to apply heavy clamping pressure because the...
