Box 1629 New Miljord. CT 06776. I made ihe Country Curio Clock project from your May/June 1992 issue. It turned oul just fine, hut when I called Mason and Sullivan, the company lisied as a source for the movement and dial face, I was told that the parts are not available because Mason and Sullivan is in the process of being sold. Where can I get the parts? John Vladd, Aliquippu. Penn. Mason and Sullivan has recently been sold to Woodcraft Supply Company. Although it is Woodcraft's intention to eventually carry most of the clock movements and clock hardware offered in the Mason <£ Sullivan catalog, it will likely be Spring < 199JI before they'll actually have the items in sun k Over the years, many projects featured in The Woodworker's Journal have featured Mason & Sullivan movements and hardware. After the first of the year, you can call Woodcraft I l-^OO-225-l153) to check as to exac tly when they'll be able to Jill your order. Woodcraft tells us they'll continue lo use Mason & Sullivan's parts numbering system, so you can continue to use the parts numbers listed in the project, and in the Mason <& Sullivan catalog. In your September/October 1992 issue, a letter from Marvin Collins described a problem he had with his Sears table saw sw itch. On one occasion, the saw continued lo run after he flipped the switch to the "off" position. On another occasion, the saw started up w ith no one near the saw. I had a similar problem with a Ward's radial-arm saw and can tell you ihai it can be quite a surprise to wake up in the middle of ihe night and hear your saw running. I purchased the saw in the I970's and. within a couple of years, the problem began. The switch would stay on when I turned it off. I boughl a new switch from Ward's, bul that one also only lasted about two years before the same problem started. Barry Nesile. Alvin, Tex. Many thanks for your letter It's another important reminder to always unplug the power cord before putting your hands near the blade or cutter of any machine. Your November/December 1992 issue had plans for a nice Futon frame, bui the price of that lop-of-the-line mattress is a bil too much for my wallet. Is there another mattress available that's reasonably comfortable and reasonably priced? J. R.
