(continued) Methods of Work most of the waste. Now clamp the jig in place under the workpiece so it becomes a guide for the bearing of a flushtrim router bit. This results in clean, accurate mortises or tenons with straight sides except in the corners, which must be cleaned up with a chisel. If the jig is accurately lined up with the edge of the workpiece, the spacing of the mortises and tenons will be identical. -Ed Devlin, Rothsay, Minn. Shaping with pencil-sharpener cutter In my woodworking classes, I have been using an old spiral cutter from a pencil sharpener, chucked in the drill press, for smoothing small-radius internal curves. The cutter works very well, and saves the time and tedium of sanding or filing. To make the tool, simply hacksaw one of the two cutters free of the mechanism. Replace the pin with a short length of :X6-in. cold-rolled steel rod. Make sure the drive gear is on the bottom, for the correct cutting action. Hammer the bar a bit so that it will wedge tight in the spiral cutter. To use, chuck the cutter and lock the quill. -David Glen Whitling, Bolivar, Ohio Producing dollhouse siding Here's how to produce simulated clapboard siding for dollhouses with a router and an easy-to-make subbase. First, to make the subbase, bevel a 'X-in. thick, 6xlO block on the tablesaw in much the same fashion as you would cut a raised panel. Be sure to leave a X6-in. or so fillet, as shown. Now bore a hole through the block, and mount the router so that a 'X-in. straight bit chucked in it is tangent to the fillet of the 12 � base. After experimenting with the bit depth, you should be able to rout multiple beveled cuts across the workpiece, indexing each cut in the previous cut. For narrower siding, relocate the subbase on the router and use either the same or a smaller bit. -Jim and Dan Fortner, Newport, Ind. Preserving green bowl blanks To eliminate checking on green bowl blanks, simply store them in your freezer until you're ready to turn. I even use the freezer for storing work in progress if I'm interrupted before completing the rough-turning. This method is especially useful if you have a large number of green blanks and don't have time to rough them out so that they will dry properly. For long-term storage, wrap the blanks in plastic bags to avoid freezer burn and surface drying. Another advantage of the method is that the frozen blanks turn without building up heat at the cutting edge-your gouge will need sharpening less frequently. Also, spalted wood, soaked and frozen, holds together much better. -Joel N. Kutz, Brockport, N. Y. Methods of Work buys readers' tips, jigs and tricks.
