#103,
we are looking for examples of finely
crafted household furniture to showcase
in a new book. We are not looking for art
furniture. But we do want pieces that show
top-quality craftsmanship and are of a
practical design that most people would
want in their own homes. Each piece of
urniture will be displayed in the book
with photos and some information about
its materials and construction.
We're excited about this new project and
want to make sure as many people as pos
sible enter. But all entries must be received
by Jan. 31, 1994. Entry forms were in
We know from our VISItS to shops
around the country that ear protection de
vices, ranging from simple ear plugs and
ear mufs to elaborate machine sound baf
fling, are much more in evidence. I know
one woodworker who even keeps a deci
bel meter handy to measure sound levels
in his shop.
We want to hear more about readers' so
lutions to noise problems. Have you ig
ured out an ingenious way to quiet your
power tools while still maintaining perfor
mance and safety? What about shop vacu
ums and dust-collection units? Drop us a
line with your ideas, and we'll try to in
clude the best ones in an upcoming article.

#84,
Elliott is known for his turned wall sculp
tures made from bigleaf maple burl slabs.
The turners were immediately drawn to his
custom-built Jim Thompson lathe. Filled
with sand, the lathe weighs about 3,000 Ibs.
The massively sturdy setup was evident
as Elliott invited the visiting turners to try
their hands on a faceplate-mounted burl
slab nearly 3 ft. across. But because few
turners have such a behemoth lathe in
their shops, he also had set up a General
lathe for much smaller spindle and bowl
work. In no time, turners of all abilities and
interests were swapping tips and tech
niques. Pro or beginner, they were all en
couraged to try and to learn new skills.
Fine Woodworking
serves as a commu
nications network of sorts for woodwork
ers, but local guilds can be indispensable
for hands-on information. No guild in your
area? Think about starting one.

#103, p. 19, but additional forms, with all
the rules, can be obtained by calling (800)
283-7252, Ext. 554.
A final note about entries. Some of the
early entries have not been complete. We
can't judge incomplete entries, so make
sure you follow all the instructions that
come with the entry form.
Now
hear tis-The recent introduction
of quiet sawblades (see "What's ew and
Hot" on p. 60) has once more raised the is
sue of noise in the woodshop.
for
the
guild-Woodworkers tend
to be a solitary lot, frequently plying their
crat alone, reveling in unique and creative
solutions for shop problems. But others
hunger for a chance to swap those great
ideas with their colleagues.
That's where guilds play an important
role, bringing woodworkers together in an
atmosphere of collegiality to share what
they know. I recently had the opportunity
to attend just such a meeting hosted by the
utneg Woodturners Association, a guild
serving turners in Connecticut.

Going
(WW
# 100) using drawer slide
hardware for the drop sides, has inspired
readers to try building similar cribs. The
drawer slides he used (#C1029-16) were
