1. Don’t check your lathe toolrest by running your fingers along it while turning a pen blank. The square edge of the blank will catch your fingertip, ripping the skin away from the nail causing great pain and distress. Don’t ask… <\/p>\n

2. Always, always, always wear your face shield when turning. Again, don’t ask… seriously, always wear your face shield. <\/p>\n

3. Measure twice, cut once is not enough. You must ensure your measurements are correct first, then measure twice and cut once.<\/p>\n

4. The higher the clamp pressure, the thinner the glue line. The thinner the glue line, the stronger the joint. Most woodworkers are probably underclamping their joints.<\/p>\n

5. Create an ebonizing stain by using equal parts of vinegar, water and steel wool, allowing to soak for two weeks. Store in a glass jar with a breathable lid to allow hydrogen gas to escape.<\/p>\n

These are a few woodworking tips and tidbits that we picked up (and\/or wrote down) over the past week. They come from a variety of sources including magazines, newsletters, online and personal experience.<\/p>\n
