Letters I'm glad to see shop injuries and safety being reviewed again (FWW # 36). Hospitals can repair the wound. They don't prepare you for the emotional trauma of not being able to recall how it happened for a couple of weeks, and then the sudden total recall in living color, which you cannot shake, especially in the early morning hours. This is normal, I am told, and it is how the mind copes... -Rod Goettelmann, Vincentown, NJ.

...I take strong exception to the statement that "woodwork­ ing tools are responsible for most industrial injuries." This condemns woodworking machines. The truth is that the users are responsible for probably more than 90% of the injuries. One usually finds in court that the user violated at least one and usually several safety rules which appear in the machine safety instructions and operating manuals . . . and thus was re­ sponsible for the injury himself. - W. McCord, Vermont American Corp . , Louisville, Ky.

Danger: The Makita lO-in. stationary miter saw, model 2400, is a potential guillotine. Today, while in operation, the heavy spring which supports and rerurns the blade to the open raised position snapped suddenly. This caused the entire assembly to drop OntO the work from a height of lOin. As one's hands are constantly in and about this area, mov­ ing debris and making slight adjustments to the workpiece, the danger is real. .. -Peter Bennet, Ompah, ant. EDITOR·S NOTE: We spoke with Roy Thompson, a Makita market­ ing spokesman, who says that the saw has been sold for five

240

be

years with no trouble, so Bennet's broken spring appears to an isolared incident. However, Makita would like to hear from any­ body who's had a similar bad experience, and so would we.

...With fifty years of experience in shops I have not yet been injured on a machine. Perhaps the assistance I once re­ ceived from a physician may help others. On this particular job I had been pushing the schedule. It was a doctor's office, and part-way through the work the doc­ tor called me into his existing office, saying he had something to discuss. I sat down across from him as he sat at his desk, and waited. He said nothing, simply leaned back in his chair. After a few minutes, I impatiently inquired what he wanted, because I still had a lot to do on the job and sitting there was accomplishing nothing. He replied, "You are working too hard and I want you to take a few minures to rest." I was srunned. I told him that I appreciated his concern but that I was too busy for idle conversation. He insisted that I remain seated and do nothing. After a few minutes he offered an explanation for this strange confrontation: "You are well qualified in your work and use power tools as though they were extensions of your hands. It is a pleasure to watch you work. But, there is some­ thing you have either forgotten or never knew. The human body is capable of sustained activity for long periods of time, but once it fatigues (the point where training and experience have no effect), it is only the body's reflexes and instincts for survival (call it 'second wind' if you like) that protect one from injury. With sustained activity even these safeguards fail and an accident is bound to happen. The difficulty is that we rarely perceive when this threshold is passed." This is the "why" that may explain Dr. Justis's advice to never work around machines when you are tired. - William Marsella, Lynbrook, N. Y. I am a timber faller by trade. Fascinated by the forms and weathered surfaces of the deadfall logs that litter the forest 4

Deadfall chair by Peter Tarbox

floor, I began imagining ways of making functional objects out of them, bringing something of the forest and its primal magic into the human environment. I began making chairs and stools (above), selling them at craft fairs as a way of supplementing the winter unemployment checks. As time passed I became more and more creatively involved and even­ rually opted for furniruremaking as a full-time livelihood. I have always worked on a one-of-a-kind basis, but now I'm attempting to enter the architecrural seating market (lob­ bies, condo gardens, etc.), for which I hope to produce some standard pieces with the aid of helpers, while COntinuing to create original designs. I began making these furnirure sculprures without any knowledge of the dynamics of wood shrinkage, and many of my early creations began to develop alarming radial cracks. After wasting an incredible amount of time and energy on intersecting steel rods, dowels and other naive schemes to fight the inexorable progress of tangential shrinkage, I finally learned that I had to design with cavities that relieve shrink­ age stress, or else accept radial splitting. It was probably only the fact that my· early pieces happened to be out of a very low moisture content wood (incense cedar) that saved me from having to relocate south of the border. -Peter Tarbox, Pasadena, Calif

One very effective loosener for rusted and corroded bolts is Coca Cola. A friend even used it to free the piston of a junked outboard that had long been immersed in sea water. I have found that Renaissance polish works beautifully to reduce friction on saw tables, plane soles, saber saw shoes and other areas. ...Finally, surgical tubing provides excellent, even pressure when you're gluing up odd-shaped pieces. -Tom Mahnken, Del Mar, Calif

I was really enjoying Bruce Winterbon's canoe article (July) until I gOt to the part about glassing with polyester resin. That almost blew me out of my chair. Never, never use poly­ ester resin to laminate fiberglass to woods. You must use ep­ oxy. Polyester resin has a shrinkage of around 1 0%, I think. Anyway, it's very high. After one or two seasons it is a certain bet that the skin will delaminate. This is because the stresses
