oodworking. Is it your passion or pass-time, your hobby or
livelihood? There are many levels and aspects of this
wonderful activity and people are constantly changing from one to
another. Perhaps you are a hobbyist, just putting in time until you
can get to it full time. Perhaps you’re a pro, but can’t wait until you
retire so you can do the stuff that you want to do for a change.
Whatever your interest or involvement, there is no denying:
woodworking is a rewarding activity that is showing tremendous
growth, with no end in sight!
With that in mind, we’re doing our best to keep
up to this growth by introducing more pages,
more listings of woodworking suppliers,
more plans and projects and more writers.
With this issue we welcome our newest
writer John Silloats. Many of you will
already be familiar with John and his TV
show “In the Workshop” on HGTV. We
have also started a new feature in this
issue that we call “the wood pages”. It is a
great resource when you are looking for
supplies and ideas to take you to the next level.

ven for our highly skilled writers, it is rare for a project to
come off without a hitch. Problems such as a wrong cut,
running out of materials, or a dull blade happen to the best
woodworkers. I am sharing these behind-the-scenes complications
with you for one reason only: to encourage you to continue when
things don’t go just right.
Build your confidence by choosing a project that suits your
budget, your tools, your time and your skill level. Completing it
will give you a great deal of satisfaction, even if it takes a few
attempts. Perhaps we should have the “Materials
List” the “Hardware and Supplies” list and
then a list of “Project Bloopers”. Knowing
it happens to everyone, might half your
frustration and double your resolve to
try it again...and again.
Speaking of bloopers, here is my most
recent one: the subscription prize shown
last issue was mislabeled a “sander”. In
fact it is a 1 3/4 hp, variable speed,
ROUTER from Porter Cable. Check it out.
I think I got it right this time!

Dear Editors:
The Windsor Woodcarving
Museum is currently applying
for a grant to produce a
virtual museum that will focus
on the history of Canadian
woodcarving. If you have any
information regarding this
matter, it would be greatly
appreciated if it could be
forwarded to the museum at:
woodcarv@mnsi.net
Sincerest gratitude,
Julie Lawrence, Museum Manager
Dear Editors:
I subscribe to your magazine
and enjoy it very much. I have a
few questions with regards to
buying a router. Being a novice
woodworker, I am having
trouble deciding what router to
buy. I am wondering if you need
a router which excepts both 1/4”
and 1/2” collet capacity or can a
router with only 1/4” collet
capacity do? Do most router bits
come in 1/4” size? Should it be a
plunge or fixed-base router? Can
you help me with this hard
decision to make, or pass my
questions on to someone that
can? Thank you.
Charles Porter, Wolfville NS
Charles
Thanks for your email full of
great questions. Before you buy
tools, equipment or machinery,
it’s always a good idea to talk to
someone who already has one.
That’s why I recommend you
post your questions on our
web site’s WOOD FORUM.
By asking woodworking-related
questions there, you will be
polling thousands of wood-
workers from across Canada.
You’ll get honest feedback from
a variety of woodworkers who
have either gone through or are
going through the same
dilemmas and decisions as you.
Recently, I saw a number of
similar postings from new
woodworkers asking about
sanders and table saws. There
were a lot of opinions, but when
the sawdust settled, there were
clearly obvious advantages of
some features and brands over
others.

PS: Once you know what you
want, be sure to check out the
FREE CLASSIFIED ADS on
our web site! It might even be
something that you want to do
regularly. Last month I saw an ad
for a Shopsmith Mark V,
complete with accessories and
attachments. It was valued at
over $7,000. and sold for only
$950.
Now that’s a bargain! So check
it out and see what kind of deal
you can find.
Hello Danny
I enjoyed your article and plans
on the Outdoor Dining set in
Canadian Woodworking. I had a
couple of questions to ask you
regarding this project. First, if
using pressure treated wood for
the project I assume you mean
the material is suitable, if
painted with a solid colored
exterior finish sealing in the
toxic material found in pressure
treated wood? Secondly, if I
were going to paint it with a
solid colored exterior finish
anyway, would using construc-
tion spruce be a good choice?
James, Toronto ON
James
I’m glad that you enjoyed the
article and plans for the outdoor
dining set. I am hesitant to offer
comments on pressure treated
lumber because of all the press it
has received lately. However,
coating it with a solid exterior
paint has been the accepted
method. To be safe, I suggest
that you visit a local paint
specialty store and ask an expert.
You want a paint that won’t react
or be affected by the chemicals
in the pressure treated lumber.
Construction grade spruce
would work. Be sure to sort
through the lumber pile and pick
the best pieces you can. It should
be fine. Good luck with the
project.
Regards, Danny Proulx
The following is a compilation
of postings from a thread
on Canadian Woodworking’s
WOOD FORUM:
Just finished the truck (Model
“C” Stake Truck-June/July 02)
for my grandson ....
Wally
This is one of my favourite
types of projects, because I like
the look on their little faces
when they get it.
Gerry
Great looking truck. I am in the
process of making two: one for
my 4 yr. old son (who has been
bugging me since he saw the
truck on the cover) and the other
for my uncle. It is almost an
exact copy of the truck that he
and his brothers had when they
first started out as brick layers.
Jay
Hey, where’s my copy
of Canadian Woodworking
magazine? I’m sick of yard work
and wanna build something!
Jim
Dear Linda and Paul;
I just thought I would drop you
a line to let you know how it’s
going. Our log files show that
the banner ad on the Canadian
Woodworking web pages give us
more click-throughs than any
other advertising that we do.
Thanks, Mark Eaton, Founder
The National Router Academy
