Thanks again.

I've had bad experiences with inconsistent absorption with cherry and splotchy result so figured thinned spit coat would even in out. I should have mentioned that I plan to use oil...

Thanks for the advice so far. I'm no marketing guru, but it's a grey/brown color ....not too far from its namesake.

Guess it seems obvious at this point, but would the following process seem...

We are in the final stages of a basement remodel that has a section of cabinetry (we bought them due to time constraints, sorry) that I'm trying to match the finish in a couple of other pieces that I...

25mm is just shy of 1 inch which would point you to the Stanley 93.

Others have already mentioned the trailer which is probably the best solution for carrying stock, but leaves you with the need to find a place to store it.

Depends how much you need to carry and...

You definitely should have a cut list in mind so you can pick out boards that will get you the most yield (or if you can't pick out boards, that you get enough to cover the waste). For example if...

Nice. Can you post a pic or two of one of the draw's opened?

My bench top is 3 layers of MDF (ie heavy). I fastened blocks of wood to the underside of the top that fit snugly in the corners. The blocks keep the top from sliding and the sheer weight of the...

I don't even have a vacuum setup so take this for what it's worth, but I'd think if the clamp will seal the open end, I don't see why it wouldn't seal the middle just as well.

If you already have a small battery charger, why not just go straight to electrolysis? A bit of wire, some pieces of sacrificial steel (I like to use rebar), appropriately sized container and some...

Ditto what Steve said about an oil based wiping varnish, but will also suggest General Finishes Seal-a-Cell and Arm-r-Seal. Never really liked the finish of water based poly and always found oil...

I picked up the Craftsman 17" DP when they had their price error about a year ago for $179. It replace a HF DP that I honestly think was a gem for the price and had I not gotten the deal I had on...

I picked up a '94/'95 this summer in the same configuration, but with a uniguard added on and a tenoning jig for $700. I thought that was a steal and happily handed over the cash (he wasn't...

I have this unit (that I picked up from Amazon for around $180 a while back) and am pleased with it and my father has the JET equivalent. It's relatively quiet at the low speed, but gets decently...

The top would be veneered ply to alleviate any movement.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. The simple design was twofold, easy to build and fits the decor of the nursery. Next I'm thinking about building a hall table (but don't have a design yet) or...

My wife asked me to make a round end table for the nursery that would match the Cherry and African Mahogany crib that I made for our daughter http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=91289. So I...

I also say that running shoes are my choice (Brooks Adrenaline), but I often wear Timberland Pro steel toed boots. Not the most comfy for long walks, but standing around they are great.

Now...

Alfred,

I believe I was the one that was interested in your construction method for the vanity that you posted here:

Bingo!! Didn't realize it, but had the breaker installed wrong and like an idiot was not checking across phases (only cchecked phase to ground). As suggested, moving the breaker down 1 slot ured the...

I finally got a chance to haul the unisaw I picked up used in the spring down to the shop, set it up and wire up a new 220v outlet. Got everything hooked up and the motor won't turn. Now when I...

I carry lumber on my vw passat all the time using a thule rack. As others have said, you just need to be very careful on how you load it and strap it down and obviously are conscious of the weight. ...

May just be some sort of airborne dust that settled around the stickers. Especially if there is some airflow through the barn. Take a small brush and a block plane and clean up an area around where...

I don't think any of those 'action' shots were made at the same time. Looks like he's just going through the motions while sans eye protection.

I don't have extensive experience with Arm R Seal, but from what use I have had I can tell you that it benefits from a seal coat (either general's Seal A Cell or a coat of shellac). Chances are the...
