I liked the CD Carousel project in your January/February 1993 issue, but the $44.80 cost for all the plastic inserts was too rich for my blood. My solution was to change a few dimensions, which enabled me to cut dadoes in the partitions to accept the CD's. It worked just fine. Duane C. Hawk. Rush. NY For years I have been trying to find plans for blixrk-front furniture. Any chance you will include plans for a block-front project in the future? Richard M. Dale, Fort Washington. Md. We arc pleased to report that our September/October 199$ issue will feature plans for a block-front chest from the Wallace Nutting Collection at Berea College. It's a beautiful design that we think many of our readers will enjoy building. 1 am refinishing an antique painted pie safe and. like most old pie safes, it has tin panels. Unfortunately, all the tin panels are covered with several coats of old paint, and the panels can't be removed from the pie safe. Can you tell me a way to clean the paint off the panels while they are still secured to the pie safe? Also, since i want to repaint the panels once I gel the old paint off, can you suggest a brand name and color that will work well? Frank Denton. Danville. III. He passed along your letter to Marie Palotas at Country Accents, a Montoursville. Pennsylvania company that sells pie safe tin. Here's what Marie had to say: "Remove all the loose paint with a wire brush, but be careful not to scrape the metal too much or it may damage the panel. Lightly sand the surface, then paint with a base primer sold by Rustoleum. l^et it dry thoroughly. As a finish coat, use Rustoleum in a color determined by the wood of the surrounding cabinet. A satin finish is preferred as it is more pleasing to the eye.'' Your January/February 1993 issue had a nice article about working green wood.
