Teenager Runs U.K. Woodworking Web Site

James Mulvany is 17 years old. So, it was a bit of a surprise to the weathered old editors here at Woodezine when we discovered that he runs his own woodworking site in the U.K! Here's how James describes it...

"The site was launched in January 2003 and is designed to educate and inspire woodworkers of all ages. It's run by a woodworker and is entirely non-profit. If you would like to help or contribute to this site in any way, please let James know. The two most popular sections are how-to and tools, but please feel free to look around for as long as you like, and contact me with any comments. I love to hear from readers.

Fuji's new Pro Series HVLP systems feature New XT Gun

Fuji Spray's new line of three HVLP systems, the PRO-Series, with three separate systems, all come with the company's impressive new XT-Spraygun. This is a non-bleed gun, meaning that it has an air trigger valve. The benefit here is that there is virtually no blowing around of shop dust. Plus, the problem with paint buildup on the tip is negligible. It features 100% stainless steel fluid components, so any type of coating can be sprayed. The stay-cool handle is a new long-awaited feature from Fuji, and the 25 foot Hi-Flex hose is soft and pliable, even when cold
The Fuji Air Control Valve, positioned at the base of the handle, is right at your fingertips for instant control of the air pressure/cfm flowing through the spraygun. This is how overspray and bounceback is reduced to an absolute minimum.
