Thanks for your responses. I'm not interested in using two different woods for one piece. I currently have a walnut coffee table and would like to use a complimentary wood to make a sofa table for...
I'm about to start a sofa table that will go in my living room along with a walnut coffee table I made. The walnut coffee table is dark along with the sofa and chair that are also in the room. My...
Thanks for the replies. It sounds like it will be easier than I thought.
Thanks,
Keith.
I used Behlen Rockhard on a coffee table and was wondering if there was anything I could do to get away from the glossy finish. I read in another post that you could rub a glossy finish out to a...
Thanks to everybody for all of your kind words. John, thanks for your thoughts on the top and wood movement, I guess only time will tell. Until then I'll enjoy it.
Robert,
It's not a veneer. It's all 1" material cut and glued. There are supports running from apron to apron to give the top more strength.
I went by Woodcraft durring lunch today and they...
Roger,
Thanks for your compliments. Yes, I did route out the profile in the legs. I drew up a template on Autocad and used that to create the jig.
This is a Walnut Coffee Table that I have been working on. It is only my second project and I'm hoping to learn from some or your constructive criticism.
This is a table that I designed. The...
I've just completed my first coffee table. Last night I applied BLO so in about a week it should be ready to finish. What would be the best finish for a coffee table, polyeurethane, shellac, or...
Thanks Jerry,
The BLO was applied last weekend, and it been sitting in the garage here in Houston, TX. With the heat we've had it should be dry.
I'm working on a walnut table and before I applied BLO I sanded it down using 320 grit paper. Now that the BLO has dried I'm planning on applying an oil-based polyurethane. Can I apply the...
Thansk again for all of you input. If my wife likes the outcome of the table I'm currently working on then I'll use the walnut. Will walnut get lighter over time?
Guy - Nice table, I just...
Guys,
Thanks for the reassurance that walnut is good for furniture. I've got two weeks until I have to make a decision but right now I think it'll be walnut.
I would like to build a coffee table but I'm not sure which wood to use. I am finishing up another table/stand in walnut and really like how it's turning out. However, I read somewhere on this...
Thanks for the info guys. I completed the table last night so it looks like I'll be finishing this weekend.
Keith
Cliff,
Thanks for the info. I like the idea of highlighting the grain. When you say to oil it, are you refering to the oil based polyurethane?
I'm in the process of building my first project, a simple shaker style end table / lamp stand. I decided to use walnut and was wondering what type of finish I should use. Any help would be...
I'm in the process of building a small table that is 26" tall, with a top that is 16" square. The legs are 1-1/2" square with a taper and the aprons are 3-1/2"X12".
Well, I went today and got the Delta 36-980. Lowe's had them advertised for $599.00 and I asked them if they could take 10% off of that and they did. The saw also came with two mail in rebates...
Who would have thought this would be such a hard decision?
Let's take the 715 off the table and focus on the Delta 36-682 and Jet 708304K. The Delta has 1 cast iron wing on the left side of...
I posted a question several days ago asking if I should get the Delta 36-680 or the Jet 708304K. Thanks again to everybody who responded.
Many people who responded suggested that if at all...
Another question -
I found the Jet 708304XK for $750.00 shipped and I can still get the 36-680 for around $580.00 shipped. As far as I can tell the biggest difference between these two saws is...
Guys,
Thanks for your help. It doesn't sound like I can go wrong with either of the saws I've inquired about. I'll probably end up going with the Delta 36-680 and use the money saved to buy...
I'm not necessarily looking for cabinet saw. I'm just looking for a good quality saw to get me started that I won't grow out of real quick.
Todd - I checked out your website....nice work!
