Pretty much every major tool company advertises with us (even DeWalt has this year), so no matter who we recommend, it appears that we're playing favorites. Even those handful that don't advertise get recommended. Hitachi is a good example (in chop saws in particular, a category you were looking at). Panasonic and Milwaukee also come to mind.

Rest assured we try to keep advertising and editorial functions completely separate. The four editors argued about these recommendations for days this summer. And I don't think the fact that someone was an advertiser or not came up once during the debate. Mostly it was about how well a tool functioned, how good the price was and the reputation of the manufacturer.

Which Dye for the Morris Chair? Water- or Alcohol-Based?

I am about to begin building two of the Morris chairs you built and described in issue #115, June 2000. I have a question about the finishing. I use Moser's aniline dyes for all my work, but I use water-based dyes exclusively. You specified alcohol-based for the chair. Is there a particular reason to use the alcohol-based dye? Also, I use the water-base for two reasons — I think it penetrates more effectively in tight-grained woods such as birch, and it stays wet longer, which allows me to ensure there are no drips or uneven application areas. What is your feeling about the chair specifically and water-based dye in general?

Martin S. Nadler Northport, New York

Editor's note: I prefer the water-based dyes myself, but the stuff we had on hand was alcohol-based. In general, I prefer the water-base because it's more colorfast. With water-based dyes you do have to deal with the raised grain, but a light sanding after coloring takes care of that. PW
