Typically Abram and Russ Morash, creator, director and executive producer of the show, will each take a project home. Abram says he's even started to do theme rooms. For example, his daughter's room is filled with mahogany furniture. Shop projects are used in The New Yankee Workshop. Morash often uses the second shop projects in his personal woodshop. Many of the outdoor projects can be seen on the grounds of the workshop. Projects are never sold and the Adirondack chair (see our August 2005 issue) was the first to be given away in a contest. — Kara Gebhart Uhl, managing editor But What is the Proper Way to Store a Straightedge to Keep it True? Recently I purchased the Veritas steel straightedge. I felt good about my choice when I subsequently read your review in the April 2005 issue referring to it as "the deal of the year." I got a little nervous, though, when I read your comment about straightedges going "out of true when stored improperly." I have it lying flat on a firm, flat surface. Should it be hung up? Randall Warren Coon Rapids, Minnesota Either hung up or fully supported on a firm, flat surface will do nicely. Many machinists treat their straightedges like a holy relic by wrapping them in rust-retardant paper and placing them in a special box to protect them. There is some merit to this approach. Our Starrett straightedge is now slightly banana-shaped because some thoughtless person stored it propped up on one end and unsupported. It bent under its own weight and is now completely worthless. And the steel straightedges are susceptible to corrosion, so do wipe it down after use. PW — Christopher Schwarz, executive editor CORRECTIONS In the "Sawbench & Shop Stool" article (June 2005), the hardwood blocks for the feet should be 4" long, not 4' long as stated in the Construction Steps on page 43. In the "Farewell Fractions - Hello Bob" Out of the Woodwork column (June 2005), the example in the second to last paragraph should be 4', 8" and 10 bob, which is equal to "four-foot eight and 13/32nds," not "four-foot eight and 17/32nds" as stated.
