I had just bought a new drill press when your May/June issue arrived with plans for a Swing-Away Drill Press Organizer.

Using pieces from my scrap pile, I made all the parts in a couple of hours. However, I had to include a couple of changes to accommodate my drill press design. The brackets (part A) on the column were offset to provide clearance for the feed handle, and I lengthened the arm (part D) from 8 in. lo Itl in.

I found great interest in the article "Collet Chuck Turning," by Nick Cook, in sour May/June 1992 issue. Even though my lathe can't handle

collets, I was able lo make 25 Wine Bottle Stoppers out of white oak, cherry, and mahogany. Your publication is terrific.

Your safety is important to

us ... We strive to present our plans and techniques as accurately and safely as possible, and we tr\ to point out specilie areas and procedures where exlra caution is required. Bui because of the variability of local conditions, construction materials and personal skills, we can't warn you against all potential hazards. Remember to exercise common sense and use safety measures when operating woodworking power equipment. Don'i attempt any procedures you're not comfortable with or properly equipped for. Sometimes, for the sake of clarity, it's necessary for a photo or illustration to show power tools without the blade guard in place. In actual ope ran on. though, you should always use blade guards and other safety devices on power tools thai are equipped with them. Remember... an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. -The Editors
