Another approach would be to set the spokes in clear epoxy when the wheels are reassembled. This would make a strong permanent job.

As for finishing, I would suggest a good marine finish such as Deks Olje or a good two-part marine epoxy finish. These finishes are available in most any good marine supply store. Above all, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Deks Olje recommends five coats of No. 1 and three coats of No. 2. This makes a fine durable finish. The mahogany panels on my boat attest to this. Three years outdoors and they still look good.

I built the Early American Tall Clock that was in your November/ December 1985 issue and, like Mr. Rosenbloom (Letters, March/April 1986 issue), 1 thought that a battery-operated quartz movement, as was called for in the article, was kind of cheap for such an impressive piece. Instead, 1 substituted a triple chime, weight driven movement from the Mason and Sullivan Company.

1 built the clock of cherry wood and everything worked fine until 1 started

to install the movement. 1 found that for the movement to work, the face must be set back at least % in. It would be even better to set it back a full inch as the weights barely clear the front of the case with the % in. setback.

Also, if you use % in. plywood for the dial board you'll have to rout out space for the movement. The movement handshafl is only long enough to go through Vt in. plus the thickness of the dial face. Then, after I got everything together, it didn't look right because the dial was about 1 in. back from the glass. 1 framed the dial with V* in. stock and found that St looked much better.

If anyone is planning to substitute a weight driven movement, I would suggest first building a temporary mock-up. This would allow you to locate the movement, take measurements, and then build the clock to fit. I didn't, and would have had less trouble if I did.

After reading the article "An Interview with Clare Maginley" (Workshop Income, May/June 1986), I sent an order to E.P. Dutton, Inc. at the ad

dress you listed, for a copy of Mr. Maginley's book of toy plans, Trains and Boats and Planes and. . . Dutton informed me that the book is out of print and returned my check. I'd like to obtain a copy of the book and would appreciate it if you could help.

A call to Dutton confirmed that the book is still in print. Ho wever, rather than sending orders to Dutton's New York City address, they should be mailed to: New American Library, 120 Woodbine St., Bergenfield, NJ 07621. To avoid confusion, they recommend including the code number ISBN 0-8015-8814-6.

We incorrectly listed the price of the book as $7.95 for softcover, $12.95 for hardcover. It is only available in soft-cover, and the price is $12.95 plus $1.50 postage and handling charge. The book can also be ordered by any bookstore.

At Christmas my son-in-law gave me a % in. variable speed reversible (VSR) drill from Sears. In February I put it to
