problems, our goal being to promote and encourage the art/craft of marquetry.

Marquetry is an exciting form of woodworking, somewhere on the borderline between art and craft. Marquetry, very simply, may be defined as the joining of different woods, encompassing the very simple chessboard, the pictorial expression, the fanciful Louis XIV commode.

Today's marquetarian does not need a complicated workshop; marquetry has turned into a tabletop hobby. A simple knife or jigsaw is all that is needed to cut out the picture elements, which are reassembled in jigsaw puzzle fashion and then glued together.

The Marquetry Society of America was formed in 1972 by a group of enthusiastic marquetarians, The MSA grew rapidly, attracting members from all over the United States and abroad. Members came from all walks of life: craftsmen, professionals, housewives, students, artists. Beginners and experts alike shared their experiences and techniques, learned from each other, helped each other.

A monthly newsletter reports on the latest developments in tools and techniques, answers reader inquiries, provides hints and tips. A pattern-of-the-month as well as illustrations of available patterns are contained in each edition. A beginner's column offers very practical advice to the aspiring marquetarian.

If your readers would like further information, write to: The Marquetry Society of America, P.O. Box 224, Lin-denhurst, NY 11757.

Can you tell me where I can get plans for a grandfather clock?

Rick Taylor, British Columbia.

Try Mason & Sullivan, 39 Blossom Ave., Osterville, MA 02655. They offer plans and kits for a variety of clock styles.

I am in need of plans and information on making a spinning wheel.

Timothy O'Brien, Milwaukie, OR.

The book Spinning Wheel Building and Restoration by Bud Kronenberg should prove helpful. It suggests tools, equipment and jigs along with a variety of spinning wheel plans for novice, intermediate, and advanced woodworkers. The publisher is Van No-strand Reinhold Co. Price is $18.95.
