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

You probably heard lots of recipes for removing ink from clothing
and furniture but I'm going to share a few with you that you may
not have come across yet.
We have tried Resolve Spot Magic Carpet Cleaner on a carpet
in our production area and were amazed when the ink disappeared
right before our eyes. It works just like the name...magic!
Lava soap works pretty good to get ink stains off your hands.
Here are some homemade remedies:
You can use rubbing alcohol to dab on stained areas. Use a cotton
ball, paper towel or Q-tip.
You can remove ink stains on colored fabrics by soaking them in milk
over night then washing as usual.
If the stain is on white material use a bit of lemon juice and salt made
into a paste and then rub it into the stained area. Let the article hang
dry in the sun and it should be bright and stain free.
Use hair spray to remove ink from painted walls and some clothing.
Another trick to remove ink stains from walls is to use toothpaste.
Apply it to the stain, wait 10 minutes and wipe clean.
The absolute BEST solution, however, is Dye-Gone. This amazing product is the best thing we found to remove ink stains from hands, clothing, rugs or just about anything. Dye-Gone can be ordered from the authors web site.

Every piece of furniture is designed to serve a certain specific purpose and at the same time withstand wear and tear and accidental damage. In properly designed pieces the normal stresses are distributed and the proportions of the members are calculated to withstand normal strain without being too bulky or heavy.
The proportions of the parts are therefore an important factor in constructing a piece that will withstand more than normal usage, yet look well. Of equal importance is the way those parts are put together.
Joints are always potential weak spots, and they must be properly designed and proportioned if they are to add to the strength of the piece instead of detracting from it.
