Editors Notebook
Rising to the challenge-We
all love
David and Goliath stories. You know the
kind: Little guy faces seemingly insur
mountable obstacles and not only survives
but triumphs. Some of our woodworking
projects probably fall into that category,
too. We take on the big challenge, find out
it's even more difficult than we thought,
but somehow we pull it off. It takes perse
verance and vision to succeed in those
kinds of projects.
A special kind of vision is what led
Patrick Trujillo to succeed in his David and
Goliath story. His triumph is the New
Mexico governor's desk that graces our
back cover, and his story appears on
p. 102 in our "Notes and Comment" sec
tion. Trujillo's vision allowed him to take
on a challenge unlike anything he had
done before and succeed.
As a side note to Trujillo's story, I should
mention that it was a reader who tipped us
off to the story behind the New Mexico
govenor's desk. Ruth Amernick of Berke
ley, Calif., sent us a letter, asking us to re
port on the competition that led to Trujillo's
commission. We always appreciate the tips
our readers send us. All of our editors
spend a lot of time on the road, visiting
woodworkers and developing articles, but
no matter how much we travel, there's al
ways something we might miss. That's
when we're glad to have our readers help
ing us as extra eyes and ears.
mon adjustments can be made qUickly and
easily. The magazine article and video are
a powerful combination, allowing any
woodworker to learn how to improve
planer performance. For more on the
planer tune-up Video Take, see p. 77.
One final note about Vaughan's earlier
jointer knife article and video: Several
readers wanted more specific information
about the dial indicator and replacement
tip Vaughan used. He recommends buying
a Mitutoyo (101-204) or Starrett (6632/S or
70793) replacement tip. His source is J&L
Industrial, P.O. Box 7604, Charlotte, N.C.
28241; (800) 521-9520. They have a mini
mum order requirement of $25, so if you
need the indicator as well as the tip,
Vaughan suggests you might want to order
both at the same time.

George III became the reigning sovereign
of Britain in 1760. So the desk, a George III
piece, should have been dated circa 1760,
not 1755.

P-If you read
Nick Yinger's article in WW
L
#106 explain
ing how he made his own high-volume,
low-pressure (HVLP) turbine spray unit
and then tried to follow his recommenda
tion fo r a spray gun to go with it, we owe
you an apology. The gun cited in tl1e article
won't work with a turbine. In his original
manuscript, Nick had praised the perfor
mance of his DeVilbiss JGHV-501, a tur
bine-compatible gun. When we learned
that model was out of production, we
asked a DeVilbiss distributor what gun had
superseded it and were told about the
modelJGHV 5285. That's the one we listed
in the article. Unfortunately, what we
didn't know was tl1at although llie 5285 is
an HVLP gun, it won't run off a turbine. It's
an HVLP conversion gun: It hooks up to a
conventional compressor and converts llie
high pressure air to

#103, we
knew it and the accompanying Video Take
would be well received. It gave good ad
vice that could eaSily be turned into im
proved jointer performance. Many readers
wrote to tell us just that. All the same, we
were surprised when so many readers not
oly wrote or called to laud the article but
also wanted a follow-up that covered
thickness planers.
We sent Vaughan right back to the shop,
and without delay, he has produced an in
genious approach to planer tune-ups. At
the center of the technique are two shop
made fixtures Vaughan developed to hold
a small dial indicator in all the positions
necessary to adjust most common thick
ness planers. Made out of scrapwood in
just minutes, the two fixtures mate with an
inexpensive dial indicator to make preci
sion devices any woodworker can afford
and use easily. His article begins on p. 72.
But there's more. Vaughan has once
again joined forces with associate editor
Alec Waters to produce a Video Take
(should we call it a sequel to his jointer
knives tape?) to go with the planer article.
Viewers will get a chance to look over the
expert's shoulder as he shows how com-
