Softening Hardened Putty Sticks
Colored putty sticks are handy for filling nail holes, but they sometimes get hard with age and become difficult to use. When this happens, I soften the stick before using it by immersing an end in very hot water for about a minute. Don't submerge too much of the stick, or it will get too soft for you to hold properly.

Pot Magnet
When working with nails, screws, etc. - anything magnetic, especially on top of a ladder or in an otherwise awkward place, I have a "Pot Magnet" affixed to a wristlet made of Ace bandage ON MY RIGHT wrist (I am right-handed - if you are a leftie put it on your left wrist). This holds the pesky "small magnetic items" handy to pick up with you OTHER hand for driving with hammer or screwdriver or cordless drill or whatever. Sticking them on the magnet also magnetizes them slightly, so that screws, especially, tend to stick to the phillips-head or square drive driver bit. Also, you aren't digging into your pocket and stabbing your fingers on the points - which are sharp enough in your pocket, but somehow become miraculously dulled on the trip to the wall or whatever they are to be driven into...

Excellent Polyurethane Application
Discarded pantyhose or nylon stockings make an excellent application for urethane or polyurethane finished, particularly on contoured surfaces or turnings. Just wad them up, dip the ball in the finish, and wipe it on. You get a nice, smooth, thin coat that dries fast and has few if any bubbles. http://www.gcwoodworks.com/index.html

Woodworking Tip of the Day...
Free Painting Aids... I've found two uses for plastic grocery bags in painting projects. They're useful for wrapping a wet brush up in to keep it from drying out if you intend to use it later in the day. And the smaller sizes make excellent gloves to keep paint off your hands while painting or handling freshly painted objects.

Aging Wood Artificially As wood ages, the surfaces that are exposed to light and air tend to grow darker. (Only walnut and mahogany grow lighter.) This phenomenon helps to give antique furniture its lustrous patina. When making reproduction of antiques, you can create an artificial patina by applying a 10-percent solution of nitric acid (available from most chemical-supply companies). Let the acid soak into the surface of the new wood for several minutes, then warm it with a heat gun. As the temperature of the surface climbs, the wood will suddenly turn dark. Continue to apply heat until the wood surface is dried thoroughly. When applying the acid, be sure to wear rubber gloves and a full face shield. work outdoors or in a well-ventilated room. check us out at http://www.gcwoodworks.com/
