Making Furniture
The beginner needs to realize that the difference between an amateur-looking furniture and a professional job, though important, is very small.
Often it is merely a matter of a piece of moulding or a corner brace, or a little extra sanding of the end grain.
In making a simple bedside lampstand and bookcase, for example, the tyro probably would be content with finishing everything off flush, and running the sides down to form feet. The professional, on the other hand, would give the top a slight overhang and form a simple thumb moulding on three edges.
He would certainly enclose the space below the bottom shelf, and perhaps cut the skirt into a decorative shape. This base would have the effect of giving four feet to the cabinet, and allow it to stand more firmly on the floor.
The difference between the two jobs therefore would not be one of extra skill on the part of the professional, but of a practical application of a knowledge of design and the way these things are usually done for the best results.
The closed-in base, as can readily be seen, is better from every standpoint. It shuts off a space that would collect dust yet be too low to permit of its being swept out. Thus for very little extra expenditure of labor and material a much more impressive and expensive-looking job results.
This principle can be extended to all kinds of furniture and cabinet-making jobs, including the selection of tools and the care they receive after they have been acquired. The professional gets the best tools he can afford, and buys at the same time

In grinding see that the end of the blade is kept square to the wheel, and check its squareness before and after grinding. The next step is to hone the blade by rubbing the ground bevel on an oilstone.
Apply a little oil to the rough side of the oil-stone, and, holding the blade so that the bevel lies flat on the stone, rub it back and forth in a figure-eight motion. To remove the feather edge that forms in grinding and sharpening, turn the blade over, lay it flat on the stone and rub it back and forth a couple of times. Finish sharpening on the fine side of the stone. If a leather hone is available so much the better.
Sharpening a gouge is a little more difficult because of the curved blade. Some gouges are beveled on the inside and some on the outside, and the procedure differs accordingly. Those with an outside bevel are ground on the wheel in the same manner as a chisel, but the point is turned slowly, first one way then the other, till the whole curved surface is equally ground. Some find this easier to do on the side of the wheel instead of the edge.
In the case of inside bevels you have either to use a special thin wheel with a rounded rim, or do it by hand with a round-edged slip stone. After grinding, the outside bevel can be whetted on an oilstone in the same manner as a chisel except that the gouge must be rolled as it is rubbed. The inside gouge is whetted with a very fine slip stone.
