Safety First: Learning how to operate power and hand tools Is essential for developing safe woodworking practices. For purposes of clarity, necessary guards have been removed from equipment shown In our magazine. We in no way recommend using this equipment without safety guards and urge readers to strictly follow manufacturers' instructions and safety precautions.

The article was disappointing and not to the standards of journalism we have become accustomed to. We do thank WJ for allowing us to refute these inaccuracies and present the facts to your readers.

WJ Responds: I believe my article characterized both the CarveWright and the Shark fairly. I do, however, regret my conflation of the CarveWright's Z-axis range with its maximum cut depth. I'm embarrassed by the snarky "mere," and I apologize. I won't apologize, however, for my conclusion (based on actually using both units in my own shop for my own projects) that "... if I could keep just one, it'd be the Shark."

—Bill Hylton

Two of our readers suggest that we left an option out of our discussion about dealing with leftover finish.

A Finishing Thought

In regard to the August 2009 issue [Finishing Hotline] — If I'm going to leave my varnish for any length of time, I find the simplest way to avoid a skin forming on the top is to make sure the tin is well sealed and turn it upside down. The skin still forms, but

at the bottom, allowing access to clear varnish at a moment's notice. Just don't use your stirring stick too vigorously.
