ST TEMENT
OF
PURPOSE
The las t decade has seen
a
major resurgence
of
wood and
wood related items. All
arou
us are examples of consumers renewing their love of wood. Gone are the kitchen tables
the
50's, with
the
ir
chrome tubular
legs and formica tops. In their place,
butcher
block a
antique reproduction
tables are
but two
examples of
peoples'
favorites. Now we a
deluged
with literally thousands of
wood ideas
and
products
in the
marketplace.
With t
onset of the
energy
crisis , the future of home
improvement
is solidified and more peo
will be buying products
and
accessories for their home. From hardwood floors to ced
roofs. we will be placing more wood products in our houses.
In
past
years
throughout the
country
, small
cabinet
and
general woodworking
shops ha
been
established to fullfill these needs. In all areas, people are driven from many walks
life
to work
with wood;
creating objects to satisfy others.
Along with
this
fulfillment
the
are numerous problems that crop up in this livelihood. The lack of knowledge ignoranc
has lost more money and created more setbacks than can ever be imagined. A multitude
suppliers all offering something slightly different or
th
e maze of government regulatio
that

common
sense are
but two examples
ofthe
problems
that face all of us.
The
fact that there are many
woode
n entrepreneurs creates the
need
for an open foru
for the exchange of thoughts and
ideas
.
When
we find ou t
how
other people solve th
problems
we are helped in solving our
own.
In
this
process of thinking and
interpreting
,
lay the
groundwork
to a more efficient
use
of ou r
resources.
PACIFIC
WOODWORKER is a new publica tion that will cater to the
small woods
ho
that will supply
this
new demand . There won't be many articles directed towards
t
hobbiest
or the super
production
facilities; ppcific Woodworker will hone in on the nee
and demands of the modest production woodshop.
Pacific Woodworker's statement of purpose boiled down is a co
-operation between
ma
facets of our t rade . It is the desimenation of knowledge information) between people. W
the group consisting of manufacturers, suppliers, and most importantly you, we can bo
together to the benefit
of
all. I hope you enjoy thi s i ssue

nervousness, sleeplessness
and
fatique. These conditions can cause
so many problems besides a
reduction inoutput. When you work
with machinery you have to be
aware of everything around you, and
fatique caused
by
noise exposure can
increase y
our
chances of eccidents.
At first , workplace noise usually
affects the ability to hear high
frequency sounds. This means that
even though a person can sti ll hear
some noise, speech or other sounds
may be unclear or distorted . The
distortion is increased when ther e is
background noises or many
peo
ple
talking. Hearing loss creates isolation
because of the inabilityto take part in
so many normal activities.
A hearing aid can help in some
cases when there is damage , but
prevention is a more logical
approach to the problem of noise.
Noise
and its effect
upon
hearing
We all value our ability to hear.
Sometimes shortcuts are made that
endanger this innate quality. I think
that we have all had exper iences
where we had a very small amo unt
of wood to cut with a saw or a short
length of wood to rout and it wasn t
felt that hearing protectors were
necessary. Somet imes the result
from short exposures like this could
be a temporary hearing loss caused
by a tiring of the inner ear . After a
rest period the hearing loss
disappears and normal hea ring is
restored. The problem results from
continued expo sure s over a long
period of time, which produces
permanent damage to the workings
of the ear. Permanent hearing loss is
a result of destruction of cells in the
inner ear
which
can never be
replaced or repaired. In add ition to
short exposures over a long period of

Reducing vibration in your
tools will make for a quieter work
environment. Besides reducing
noise and vibration that affects
the people around the tool,
correct dampening improves the
efficiencyof your equipment and
reduces the damage that can be
done to tools by excessive
vibration.
Following are some methods
of mounting tools in order to
minimize vibration:
The simplest way to mount a
tool to the oor is by the use
of screws . You would use
lag screws going into a
wooden floor and expansion
anchors in concrete . This
type of mounting transfers
vibration throughout a large
area which Itself is used as
the absorbtion medium. This
money over a large pad .
Using an absorbtion pad will
reduce the tendency of a
machine to creep or walk.
Absorbtion pads can also be
used if you screw your tool
to the floor. They would
be
used between the tool and
the floor and the screw or
anchor would be mounted
through the pad . The pad
would increase the
absorbtion over mounting
directly to the oor. Cost of
pads ranges from 10.00 to
75 .00 per squre foot.
If
pos itioning o your tool in
one place can t be done ,
and you s
tili
desire stability,
machine mounts would
be
the answer . The scope of
Tools with machine mounts
can be placed on roll-about
casters and moved in the
workshop, while
still
retaining the vibration
absorbtion feature .
If
you have really heavy
machinery, like an old
planer that vibrates
everything around, there isa
solution that entails much
work. The first step would
be
to make a rectangular
excavation in the concrete
oor. The sides and bottom
of the excavation would be
lined with vibration
absorbtion material, and
then refilled with concrete.

I recently went on a tour of

which is the only reason for the existence of

Section:
Wood Parts
The general nature of wood parts
is
having someone else doing the
major production for you. therefore
freeing your time for a more
profitable business. One can
purchase anything from a handful of
screwhole plugs to completed chairs.
One major advantage of wood parts
is that they can open so many new
avenues of produ cts. that the
individual wood shop could never
hope to compete with. Shaker pegs.
wooden toy parts. or table legs are all
examples of products that if you
purchased the machinery to produce
these. would cost thou sands of
dollars. Of course . problems such as
quality control. lost time due to poo r
grade wood and opera tor mistakes
would still plague you . In the
purchase of wood parts you give
these problems back to the
manufacturer and he directly has to
deal withthem . Your ability to return
is sometimes misunderstood as to
their abilityto create satisfaction with
the consumer. The power to dress
up and cre ate a more saleable item is
one of the main reasons that all
woodworkers should look very hard
at wood parts.
s
an example of this.
I viewed a beautiful line of bathroom
accessories at a home show in Los
Angeles. A complete array of towel
bars. toilet paper holders and other
accessories all showed meticulous
preparation in the design and
manufacture . but one thing about the
line cried out to be solved. The
company that had produced this line
of bathroom products had simply
drilled the app ropriate holes in the
correct spots to hold the screw of the
purchaser s choice . That choice was
left up to the consumer. which
interpreted means that a brass
screw would look nice but anything
around the house would have to do .
as the major selling force, many
oversights can besolved. Inthis case ,
wood plugs would have commanded
a higher price. or if t he price stayed
the same. they would have sold
much faster. I knowof no person who
in comparing two pieceswould have
picked the one without the screwhole
plugs. For a cost per piece of mere
penn ies, this manufacture r could
have increased his business
considerably. There is way too much
competition to blindly go along and
not look for improvements that can
easily be accomplished .
In another area wood parts
represent a different view as a
solution to problems. Since many
differe nt wood parts can be
purchased in small quantities. you
can try something out with a very
modest investment. Suppose you
have a line of wooden framed
mirrors. some plain and some with

except that they contain no rim.
They are available either in a

detailed in the drawings above.
The flat

plug is for use in
applications whe re you would
want the plug to be least

lends itself to more finished
applications that require a
smooth. unbroken surface.
SCREWHOLE UTTONS
Screwhole buttons are a

use of a screw or nut . They have

Many woodworkers have been
perplexed with what to do with

takes much trial

error,
and
the results vary with each batch
of
wood and

by the use of blind joints , a
somewhat more acceptable way
is the use of screwhole plugs or

revealed why this situation ex

because of various defects such

This explanation makes it q
simple to realize why this situa
exists and also why it would b
your advan tage to purchase cu
size dowels. The comparison c
shows how much the differential

savings It would be a good ide
investigate how much your
situation would benefit from
direct purchase from a do
manufacturer.
If you use dowels in any sizeable
amount. there are certain guidelines
that you should follow to save
money . Most wholesale hardware
companies supply dowels to their
general woodworking shops non
color coded in 24 . 36
48
lengths. Most shops have no need
for color coding as do retail shops,
and a ten percent savings is realized
with this fact. This savings is all the
small shop usually obtains but there
isa way to save much more
In most applications, dowels are
cut to size and these cutsare made to
fully utilize the whole length of the
dowel. In the majority of cases it is
impossible to use the whole piece . If
there is no application for the short
waste ends, they go out with the
trash to be thrown away or burned .
Savings of up to 50% can be
achieved ifyou have someone do all
the work for you . That's right,
someone else will cut your dowels to
your exact size. which of course
saves you time and energy and you
can save up to half in the process .
Most dowel manufac turers oHer this
service. The one drawback for
smaller shops would be the minimum
order size, but eithe r the large
amount of savings or collective
purchasing could solve this problem.

Imagination and knowledge
of basic woodworking skillsare
the two necessities in
toymaking . But even if you
lack
one
of these this shouldn't
stop you from trying it out . for
there are many companies that

emphasis on profitability and
ease of manufacturing.
Toymakers face the
common
problem of having to
produce numerous small parts
with relative precision . If you
make all the parts yourself it
will
always be a constant battle
to keep up production as well
as quality. The option that
most toymakers take is buying
the smaller parts that require
precision and making the
larger parts themselves.
Generally, toymakers that
produce whee led goods make
the body by using stacked

with a
bandsaw. The other parts of

show on the histo rica l aspects of
woodworking by J ohn Kelsey, Editor of

lot of interesting examples of woodworking,
from the very far out to the exquisite .
Explored were samples of West Coast
woodworking, with its flair for the original,
to East C

in tradition. Underly ing the hundreds of
surroundings can dictate the direction of the

John
Bellingham s hour concentrated on
grants for woodworkers . For many of the
people attending, this wasn t a subject of
great interest, but it is revelant to certain
woodworkers. Grants are a way for some
woodworkers to try radical things or new

s. The projected outlook is for a
reduction of total grant money, but still ,
there remains large amounts available for
grants.
The favorite of the aud ience seemed to be
Clay Axlerod , who talked abu t tax benefits

seemed to interest the crowd more than any
other speaker. After his talk, he was

from the audience .

Ifyou have ever thought about
the use of a chain saw in your
shop , but haven t liked the
dangers of gasoline models, an
electric chain saw cou ld solve
your problems .
Many woodworkers who work
on large architectural pieces, art
compositions , or free-form
furniture have found that using a
chain saw can save them much
tedious cutting work . The
advantages of an electric chain
saw are instant starting in any
temperature , reduced
maintenance, no time wasted in
the mixing and
filling of fuel , no
exhaust fumes and none of the
dangers inherent when
flammable materials are present.
The only major drawback is that
you are tied into a power source
by an electrical cord, but this is a
small price to pay for all the
advantages.

quiet and smooth transmission of
power.
