Letters ▼- Small Adjustments You Missed One Your review of small drivers in the April 2009 issue ("Small Drivers, Big Impact"] missed one surprisingly capable tool. The Dremel Driver is incredibly torquey for its size and price. I've driven small-to-medium drywall screws directly into fir, and 1/2" truss screws into ash without pre-drilling. And it's considerably smaller than the ones you reviewed. I often slip it into my jacket pocket to take it up a ladder. The lithium-ion battery seems to last forever. The only feature it lacks is the impact feature, but I haven't missed that yet. Doug Pocius Aguanga, California WJ Responds: The review you referenced was about "Small Impact Drivers," but we sure appreciate your review of the Dremel Driver and encourage readers to send in similar accounts of their favorite tools. —Rob Johnstone Several Coats of Clear... "Sweet as Sugar" article, April 2009 issue [on the topic of sugar maple]: When you say you "follow with several coats of clear," what do you use for "clear"? Thanks for a great magazine. Steve Stever Ims Gatos, California WJ Responds: Sorry ...by clear finish I was referring to polyurethane (I use oil-based), shellac, lacquer, etc. —Rob Johnstone Specs for "Small"? The article ["Using the Right Stuff," Finishing Hotline. April 2009] states that the air gun has such a low air volume draw that even the smallest shop air compressor will have no trouble feeding the required amount of compressed air. I have been using an air brush for a lot of small items. I am now working on some larger projects, and the touch-up gun appears to be a good solution.

I have been around woodworking for a good while, and I have always found useful tidbits or a new way to approach a task from reading your magazine. My grandfather was an industrial arts teacher and I loved trying to soak up as much of his knowledge as possible. Your magazine has once again given me a comfortable place to find [woodworking] knowledge and take on new tasks. Jeff Smith Moundsville, West Virginia Fence Adjustments I chose to use poplar for the "Wide Body Router Table Fence" [December 2008] as I had some in my shop. I built the fence using your dimensions but chose to attach the fence to the table saw fence.
