Terry’s Tips – May/June 2009

  •  
          • There are five to six inches of storage space under your car.
          • Try the color enhancer on a scrap of your stone or where it won’t show on the finished piece.
          • Tuck in loose straps and ropes when using a hand cart.
          • Don’t rest a piece on a patterned oily rag. Take my word for it; an oily pattern will transfer to the stone.
          • Minesweeper game: do you postpone decisions until they have to be made, or make them as they arise?
          • Drill holes before the surface is finished, in case there is chipping.
          • Creative work is not necessarily art.
          • Get a good photo for your obituary. Most don’t complement the deceased.
          • Secure loads inside your vehicle so they don’t break loose in an accident and injure you – or slide under the brake pedal.
          • Store rubber sandpaper backing disks flat to reduce chattering of the sandpaper.
          • Wrap duct tape on the metal banding of dusting or application brushes to prevent inadvertent scratches.
          • Remember electric tools have a bit more momentum to lose than air tools when turned off.
          • Old toothbrushes can be shaped and sandpaper glued to them for specialty sanding.
          • Replace wax container lids promptly to avoid accidental dust/grit contamination, and fluid container caps to avoid spillage.
          • Art is the ultimate luxury.
