Consider food-safe finishes. You should also use a food-safe finish on any kid's project that may end up in small hands and mouths. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has this downloadable PDF to fill you in on what's food-safe: www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/finlines/knaeb98c.pdf <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=758399&newsletterID=8234&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> ________________________________ Plan Correction: For the cutting board project in the November 2006 issue ("On the Block," page 46), when you cut your glued-up block strips into five segment blocks, these blocks should measure 7/8" x 3 3/4" x 30", not 4 1/2" wide as listed in the article. Also, due to the natural variances of every cutting board, we recommend that you build the cutting board first, then customize the size of your base to fit the actual size of your cutting board, leaving 1/16" to 1/8" allowance around the cutting board for its removal from the base. ________________________________ Builder's Tip: If you're making the "Friendly Fortress" kids' castle in the November 2006 issue, project designer Art Mulder recommends 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood, in part because its dense core won't leave gaps on the exposed edges. If your lumber store doesn't stock Baltic Birch plywood in a 3/8" thickness, then try 1/2" for the standalone wall sections, and 1/4" for the towers and gate. If you're looking for other alternatives, consider regular plywood or solid pine. ________________________________ Woodworker of the Year Contest: Nominate someone you know as Canadian Home Workshop's 2007 Woodworker of the Year <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=758400&newsletterID=8234&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> and they could win great prizes. We're looking for a woodworker who has achieved high standards in woodworking and made the effort to share their craft with others. If you've nominated someone in past years, don't hesitate to nominate them again-every year, the competition is a close call, and this may be the year your nominee wins! For contest rules and how to enter, see this page <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=758400&newsletterID=8234&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> . ________________________________ Some questions & answers from our pros: Q: My workshop is in my garage. The garage is somewhat insulated and I use a propane heater in the winter. Does the temperature I build projects in have an effect on the wood itself? I normally take the pieces into the house to let glued joints set, or when I stain and finish the piece. -Wannabild A: It's not the temperature that you have to watch out for, it's the relative humidity. You should be working wood in the same environment the wood will live in. Having said that, if you take the wood in to glue, and if you follow normal wood expansion and contraction methods in your joinery, you should be all right. Wood expansion and contraction basically means that wood will expand and contract across the grain with the change in seasons. You need to allow for this in your construction methods, i.e., panels in doors must be allowed to float. Keep an eye on your finished projects for a couple of seasons, and that will tell you for sure if it's all right. -CHW Pro Don Kondra ________________________________ project <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=758401&newsletterID=8234&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> For more questions and answers, or to send questions yourself, go to Ask A Pro <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=758402&newsletterID=8234&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> section of our website.
