Ok folks here goes our first Woodcraft woodworking quiz! For a run down on the rules please go to this LINK to view our announcement and rules of the game.

Our first quiz is straight out of the June/July 2012 issue of Woodcraft Magazine.

Question: While performing operations on this mainstay of the woodworkers shop, the author suggest you do a little jig or movement. What do you call this form of dance and what is this very important mainstay of our shop he is working on?

Good luck folks and thank you for joining our first Woodcraft Magazine quiz! Up for grabs is a cool little device you'll use to check blade and chisel angles for accuracy, it is called appropriately so, an Angle Checker. Winner gets this handy little device mailed straight to their door!

The Jointer. Waltz. Woodcraft Issue Vol 8 No. 47 page 45

When feeding, begin by standing with your feet splayed for good footing. Lay the board fully on the infeed table just in front of the cutter head guard, pressing the leading edge down firmly. Push the board forward while maintaining downward pressure at the leading end and forward pressure at the trailing end. As you move along with the board, WALTZ sideways by bringing your right foot against the left; then step widely sideways again. When your belt buckle is about 10" rearward of the cutterhead, plant yourself there and complete the cut by moving the board forward with your hands, maintaining downward pressure over both the infeed and outfeed tables without overreaching.

Lew nailed it verbatim.  I'd just add the next line to Avoid applying excesive downward pressure when face-jointing thin stock or edge-jointing narrow pieces that flex.

 

Good job Lew!

John,

Thanks! It was fun trying to figure out the answer. Now, would it be possible for this prize to be redirected to a wounded warrior? Just my way of saying thanks to a fellow veteran.

Lew that is very kind of you sir. We can most certainly find a Wounded Warrior woodworker for you to connect with and we will instead ship your prize to that person. I am sure Woodcraft would be smiling too! Let me get back with you on the details. Thanks again all for your participation. Next weeks quiz will be posted sometime on Monday. We will make it harder for you guys!!!!

Oh~!! Oh ~!!  I know~!! I know~!!

I dance a little jig when I open my first beer.

The part of the shop that it is good for is me.

Nice, very nice Cliff, I think we have a song writer amongst us!
