Rare Earth Magnets
$4.99 - $10.99
Neodymium-iron-boron is a fancy way to say super strong magnets. You and I know them as rare earth magnets. A single 1" magnet has more than 10 lbs of pull; two of them face-to-face are virtually inseparable. Smaller ones make fantastic door catches that can pull a twisted cabinet door straight and hold it closed. Use them to hold knockout bars to lathes, chuck keys to drill presses and blade wrenches to table saws. Rare earth magnets have innumerable applications on jigs, fixtures and hardware as well. Various sizes available in blocks, discs and spheres.

Tool Drive a Great Success!
The
Atlanta Community ToolBank
Tool Drive held during the Highland Woodworking One Day Sale was a huge success! Tools of every type were donated, from masonry tools to screwdrivers to cordless drills, as well as a variety of power tools including a biscuit joiner, portable planer, orbital sander, router, reciprocating saw, jig saw, tablesaw, scroll saw, bandsaw tile saw, chainsaw and pole saw! The TruServe warehouse here in Atlanta generously donated a brand new 5.75HP 16 gallon ShopVac with accessories that has already been borrowed by a local nonprofit for use in a community project. Most of the donated tools have been integrated into the Tool Lending Library’s inventory, and the others have been put aside for the ToolBank Tool Sweep, which will raise funds for ToolBank programs.
Highland Woodworking will continue to work with the ToolBank, hosting tool drives during Spring and Fall One Day Sales, and plans are in the works for the store to be a standing collection site for ToolBank donations. Details coming soon!

Saturday Mornings at Highland Summer Schedule
In February we began our Saturday Mornings at Highland educational program, a series of free woodworking demonstrations every Saturday morning in our retail store in Atlanta. The response has been incredible, with close to two dozen attendees for some of the events and several demos lasting over two hours!
Our upcoming summer schedule features demos on sharpening, flyrods, woodburning, lap joints, timberframing and more. If you happen to be in the area, join us for this amazing opportunity to expand your skills and explore new woodworking techniques. Everyone is welcome to drop in – these demonstrations are free!
If you have an interesting technique or project you'd like to share with the woodworking community during one of our Saturday morning events, please

With the way things are going here in the Southeast, with virtually no humidity in the air, no rain, and temperatures on the rise, applying most any finish in this environment should go very smoothly without any drying problems. Usually though, heat and humidity can cause a few problems. Such as when finishing materials like shellac or brushing lacquer dry too fast and do not flow out smoothly; or varnish dries slowly and unevenly when the humidity is very high and there is virtually no air movement; or worst of all, blushing. Here are some tips to help with these problems.
