Shop Tips

A painter's 3 in. wide trim roller makes an excellent glue spreader for those large gluing jobs. Pour the glue into a paint tray to make it easier to pick up the glue on the roller.

Old V% in. to 1 in. wide band saw blades cut to about 3 in. long make excellent scrapers for smoothing small curved shapes such as coves and rounded corners. Use a grinder to remove the teeth and shape the end to the desired profile. Although not necessary, a handle (made from a split dowel) will make things easier on the hand.

The wood lathe becomes an effective drum sander when used with a turned wooden sanding drum as shown. The sanding drums can be made to just about any diameter or length—in fact, it's a good idea to have several sizes. They are turned to size on the lathe, with one end tapered to fit the head stock and the other end centered on the tail stock. Sandpaper is glued to the cylinder with rubber cement so that when the sandpaper wears it can be removed and replaced.

In my workshop I have a large cardboard box with a door cut in it. After varnishing a project, I place it into the box and close the door, thereby fully protecting it from any dust in the air.
