Helpful Hint
- This week's Helpful Hint is from long time member Wolfgang S:
- There is a time to sand and a time to scrape
- Sanding works well in tight places (e.g. corners) and when the surface is thin.
- Scrapers will give you a smoother surface
- Sand paper works by scratching the surface, it tears the wood fibers
- Scrapers work by slice the wood fibers
- Scrapers cut the surface perfectly flat when the scraper is tuned correctly
- Scapers work extremely well for removing glue from a joint.
- Want to learn how to make your own wood scrapers? Wolfgang is happy to teach you. See him at the hand tool area in the wood shop.

Safety Note

Rule and Regulation of the Week
