We have reserve chisel chain when we need to rip clean logs as smoothly as possible. These cuts are made with chisel chain filed or sharpened to 0° top plate angle and the rakers filed to .040. The corner of the tooth on chisel chain can be dulled so easily cutting dirty wood that we do not use it on anything but clean wood. Special skip-tooth chain simply eliminates some chain teeth to reduce the amount of wood chips traveling along the cut. It costs more money and is not readily available. Special ripping chain is designed to break up the chips into irregular sizes so they offer less resistance as they are carried through the cut. It costs even more money, is not easily available and takes great care in sharpening, although it gives a fairly smooth cut . .. Some saws come equipped with power sharp top cutters and cannot be changed. The balance of the little saws are mostly a chain that is a marriage of the chisel chain and the chipper, and when filed or sharpened to 20° angle or less, offer good ripping features-less vibration when crosscutting-a little slower, but-less operator weariness. -George Grube, Ei Cajon, Caiz! [Editor's note : George Grube manufactures a variety of chain-saw mills of his own design, ranging from a $20 "Mighty Mini" device that attaches to a small chain saw , up to a 4-ft. by 10-ft. slant mill that costs $650. His address is 14135 Old Highway 80, El Cajon, Calif. 9202 1, tel. (7 14) 443-2911.] As a charter subscriber I have greatly enjoyed your magazine. It has filled a long-existing void in world publications and I have commended it to my friends around the world with almost paternal pride. With this sentiment, perhaps you can appreciate my disappointment when I tell you that the articles on chain-saw milling and rip chain in your Fall '77 issue are highly misleading as to the development of the techniques and the equipment with which to perform them. From their presentation the reader must infer the equipment, the procedure and the technique sprang full-blown from the fertile brain of the writer of these articles, Robert Sperber. I assure you, nothing could be farther from the truth . The portable chain-saw mill, as pictured and described in that article, was invented in the late 1950s by Ernest Hayden of Callahan, Calif. , and John Tanner of Douglas, Alaska. This company, as Granberg Industries, Inc., and under the earlier name of Nygran Industries, has been manufacturing that device under license from the inventors since November of 1960 and during the past 17 years this device has become internationally known as the ' 'Alaskan Chain Saw Mill." It is the rare country, island or region where it is not in use today . . . . While imitation is said to be the most sincere form of flattery, we can take no comfort in such a bromide . .. Since he is making his equipment for sale, our 'attorneys are in the process of reminding Me. Sperber of his legal responsibilities to the property of others. We have filed suit in federal court to prevent this continuing infringement of our U. S. patents. ... Our disappointment, therefore, is with you as this lack of skeptical curiosity on the part of your staff is most unprofessional and irresponsible. We trust this incident resulted from a momentary lapse of diligence and that cloak of competence you wear isn't concealing clay feet. -F. D. Schrupp, Granberg Industries, Richmond, Cail! 16
METHODS OF WORK __ _ Bench damp My clamping device extends the top (for holding and clamping) of a small workbench in limited-floorspace workshops.

The Record brand clamp head can be bought from Silvo Hardware for $5.89. My unit was constructed with 3-in. angle iron 6 in. long with the slots drilled and hacksawed 1 in. from either end. The 3/8 x 4-in. lag screws were driven through the slots into the end of my workbench so that the angle iron is flush wit the top. Tightening and loosening the lag screws facilitates rapid installation and removal. Wooden bars of various lengths are handy for different projects. -Robert Bessmer, Avenll Park, N. Y. Testing finishes After turning wooden bowls, several of my eighth-grade students asked if they could use them for eating cereal . I was surprised and intrigued by the question, so I set out to test the water resistance of various nontoxic finishes, hoping that one would be good enough for such wet food. I tested Deft, Benjamin Moore Urethane Varnish and constantine's Wood Bowl Seal on basswood, Philippine mahogany and pine-the woods used in our school shop. I also tested three oil finishes-Watco Danish oil, salad oil and mineral oil-on pine only. The test pieces (which I called ' 'concaves' ') were turned on the lathe from 3-1I2-in. discs of 1-3/4-in. stock. Th outside was merely trued, the inside cut to a bowl contour. I made a concave of each wood for each finish, plus two extras-one to test unfinished, and a control (finished but not tested) . The test liquid was water ; to obtain a permanent record I added a powdered red stain. I finished the concaves according to the labels on the cans, filled each with stain, and enclosed them in plastic bags to eliminate evaporation as a variable. I arbitrarily decided to let the basswood samples soak for a week, the pine for two weeks, SUGAR PINE - CYPRESS - CEDAR SPRUCE - DOUGLAS FIR etc. 248 Ferris Avenue, MAURICE L_ 914-946-4111 White Plains, N.Y. 10603 CONDON CO., INC.
