Hi, I am a newbie to woodworking. Some of the stuff I’ve built is still actually together. I am learning. In my mind (more so than in the shop) I get how the stuff is supposed to go together. Finishing I know nothing about, and I suck at it. So far I mostly use foam brushes, and stain or paint. I’m liking General Finishes. The finish on my stuff kinda looks like it came from a 6’th grade shop class. Is this a progressive thing? Do I have to get good with brushes before I can think about a spray system? Is it easy (?) to learn how to use a spray system? Is there anything feasible for a small shop, one guy hobbyist? Before I order a bunch of books and try to wade through them, figuring out what may be relative to me, and how much of what I’ve read, do I actually understand, So.......anyone who wished to give some advice/opinions/thoughts/pointers, I am anxious to start thinking/pondering/considering about getting more competent with my finishing. Thank you.

I was contacted by a Navy buddy about his wooden hand plane. He was interested in what it might be worth. I know it is difficult to say without a detailed description and hands on. Here is what I know- About 28" long Blade is stamped with Thomas Firth and sons The body has a stamp of W. Hoger- he said this is very hard to read He sent me these 2 pix- Any information and help will be greatly appreciated. Lew

I would like to announce the new woodturning club in Santa Cruz County. It is called the Santa Cruz Woodturners Association. We just got accepted as a chapter of the AAW and currently have 17 members. If any of the members of The Patriot Woodworker live in the area and would like to come by, please email me directly at ldubia@yahoo.com. We currently meet at a members house until such time as we can secure a long term location. Our membership includes absolute beginners to professional turners so everyone is welcome. Thanks, Larry Dubia
