Morris,IL61054.Woodworker'sBook Club: 1507 Dana Ave.,Cincinnati, OH 45207; (513)5 31-82 50e had a great time a few weeksback hosting a group of50read-ers and representatives of Freud, USA.The occasion was a seminarPopularWoodworkingsponsored.Before dinner, readers toured ourPopular Woodworkingworkshop. A livelyand informative seminar followed withFreud's Jim Brewer and Hugh Foster (yes,the same Hugh Foster that you've beenreading inPopular Woodworkingfor yearsis a Freud spokesperson). Four subjectsnear and dear to us all were presented:saw blades and some genuine innova-tions that we'll all benefit from; the low-down on "anti-kickback technology;"some important reminders about safety;and, a discussion and demonstrationabout plate or biscuit joinery.Not being totally up to speed with"anti-kickback technology," I was sur-prised to learn the design of blades andother tooling with this feature is the legalsafety standard of the German govern-ment and has been adopted throughoutcentral and western Europe. Its purposeis to help protect industrial woodwork-ers. Freud was first to bring this technol-ogy to the U.S. and has offereditto uswith no increase in prices! When youlearn about how it works and why itworks, it's an impressive presentation.What makes it a fascinating safety con-cept is that it is "passive" in nature. You,the woodworker, need do nothing tobenefit from it (besides buy the tool tobegin with).Unlike guards on machines(too many of which are never installed ortoo frequently removed at the peril ofthe operator), this safetyfeature does notaffect the tool performance or the oper-ation of equipment. In a future issue ofPopular Woodworking,we will presentthis important innovation in more detail.Freud's Mr. Brewer alsoenlightened uson new developments in saw bladedesign and presented a refresher coursein saw blade selection. Important infor-mation to pass along includes the advan-tages of thin kerf blades. The main pur-pose is not to save an incidental amountof material on each cut, but to makeyour underpowered table saw performbetter. Freud's tech department believesa10"table saw using a standardW'kerfPopular Woodworkingguests ReneSterchi(I.) and John Hehn (c.), yukitup withyours truly (r.) in the shop before dinnerand the Freud seminor.blade should be at least3h.p. oritisunderpowered. The thin kerf bladerequires less power from the motor. Sure,it's good for your motor, but it's alsogood for you since the stock, especiallyheavier stock being ripped, is easier topush through. Other important develop-ments include blade design resulting insubstantial noise reduction(Oh,how Ihate those blades that scream), and ahost of blade tooth designs for speciicfcutting operations.Hugh Foster addressed shop safetyconcerns and reminded us that a pair ofsafety glasses (under$20)could save oureye sight, and disposable foam ear plugs(25cents) will help keep the hearing aidsalesman away from our door (and sav-ings account). Hugh also stayed late todiscuss and demonstrate biscuit joinerywith about half the crowd who decidedthe9p.m. scheduled ending was just tooearly to go home.In future seminars, we'll bring theindustry leaders to you, in person ifyou're one of the lucky ones who canattend, or vicariously through the pagesofPopularWoodworking.A 'Snappy'New FeatureWe're beginning a new feature thismonth called "Snap Shop." We'll be pre-senting simpler projects or techniquesthat can easily be demonstrated in pic-tures. If a picture's worth a thousandwords, this first "Snap Shop" saved14,000words, or half a magazine!

Furthermore, the genus isalwayscapitalized, whereas the species isalways in lowercase. Therefore, "lirio-dendrontulipfera"shouldbe"Liriodendron tulipiferd'(note the mis-spelling of the species). Also "populusdeltoidus" should be"Populus deltoiaes,"and "populus balasamifera" should be"Populus balsamifera."These discrepancies detract only mar-ginally from an otherwise fine article.
