••

There's no doubt about it.

Woodworkers who know how to glue

up thin pieces of wood to make proj-

ect parts have a distinct advantage

over those who don't. In a nutshell,

the former can actually bend wood

into almost any shape they want. And

that adds immeasurably to the types of

projects they can build.

If you haven't done any laminating,

you might think that it's beyond your

skill level. Not true! This issue of

Weekend Woodworking magazine

features two projects that involve lam-

ination. Both of these projects are well

within your reach, and utilize tools

you already have in your shop.

The trellis project, beginning on page

24, is a very simple example of flat

lamination. In it you're simply gluing

the bottom portion of a stack of ripped

anns into a straight assembly. This is

the most basic fonn of lamination.

If you build the scooter, beginning on

page 16, you'll be doing what's called ben/lamination. You'll need to build a

form that you use to clamp up the assembly while the glue is drying. You can use

the form as many times as you want to make duplicate pieces. Once you run

through the process, you'll see that it is simply one easy step after another.

If you don't care to build either of the projects, but are intrigued by the technique,

see pages 14 and 15 for how to do it.

Magnetize blade captures

elusive steel-wool fragments

When you use steel wool between coats

of finish, some fragments always seem to

elude even a shop vacuum or tack cloth.

Foam back makes

sandpaper conform

You need a flexible hand-sanding

pad for curved shapes and for

"breaking" sharp comers on edges

during final sanding.

Steel-wool

particles trapped /~~

In corners and

holes

Magnetized a knife blade by stroking its

blade on a magnet. Then, use it to lightly

trace along the joints, cracks, and holes to

pick up metal particles.

Adhere self~adhesive sandpaper of

your grit choice to J/s"-thick packag-

ing foam (salvaged, or about 50

cents per 2-foot-wide running foot at

"packaging" stores.) Or, use spray

adhesive to bond regular sandpaper

to the foam. You can even use it to

sand spinning lathe projects.

Hinged router table saves

Cutout for router table insert

Plywood top

Here's help. Make a plywood router table

that you can drop down when it's not in

use, freeing valuable floor space. Use

heavy-duty hinges and a pair of drop-leaf

supports mounted to horizontal 2x4' s

that you lag-boited to the wall studs. The

depth of the rabbet in the cutout must

allow the router's mounting plate to rest

flush with the surrounding surface.
