Letters One of the Shop Tips on page 56 of your September/October 1984 issue tells us that small diameter brass rod can be hard to find. Your readers may be interested to learn that brass rod is available at welding supply stores. It's called "brazing rod" and is usually sold in a variety of diameters. Our local supplier carries 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 in. diameters in about 30 in. lengths. It is sold by the pound. I hope this will help those readers looking for brass rod.

Write for current prices. I've found a way to make notations on my woodworking plans without damaging them. When working on a project, I slip the plans in a clear plastic dust cover folder — the kind sold by just about any stationery store. Then, when I want to mark-up the plans, I use a washable marker pen and write on the plastic cover. When finished, the plastic can be wiped clean so that it's ready for the next project. L. Frederick, Aspen, Colo. When working on the veneer bracelets featured in your January/ February 1984 issue, I did not have a web clamp to clamp the veneer or inlaid banding around the form. To enable me to finish the project, I substituted an automobile radiator hose clamp, which is tightened by a screw as pressure is needed. I found this easier to use and less awkward than a web clamp. Hose clamps come in a variety of sizes and can be purchased at any auto parts or hardware store. Also, while sanding the inlaid banding, I experienced problems with the lighter colored woods being smudged by the dust of the darker colored woods. In fact, the maple began to take on a gray color. I tried to progressively change grades of sandpaper, working up to 600 grit, but the gray still remained. The solution to this problem was to go over the discolored areas with a pink pearl or ruby red pencil eraser. There was no more dirty gray and the color of the banding (continued on page 9) Lets make this short ... and very sweet! MR. SAWDUST BLADE PRICES CAN NOW BE DROPPED 30%! I knew il could happen.
