That looks like an aluminum oxide grinding wheel, correct? What grit grinding wheel is used in the demo?

I’m sure that this magazine caters to a range of woodworkers-from beginners that need instruction on simple, basic methods to experts, who may prefer a comment format to share more advanced methods. Any particular article will not suit all readers.
I’m somewhere in the middle skill-wise, but still preferring a single basic method that verifies and guides my shaky knowledge, rather than reading about a range of methods by experts. So I search for lessons, not opinions. Expert readers may want different topics entirely. Glue-up tactics seem more basic.

I know that various experts have various methods, but I trust the staff of FW to only offer generally accepted methods that will work, and I need to learn just one way that will work for now. I don’t have the experience to judge various methods now. Perhaps I’ll wander off that trusted path later.

Perhaps the magazine needs to classify the entries as either beginner, intermediate and advanced. Then we can access only what we’re interested in and not have to wade through it all, only to find that it’s above or below our grade level. A waste our time either way. I think we may all appreciate that.
