Mike,

I was planning on gluing the mitered pieces to a solid center post.

Bryan, I was thinking about gluing it up into one piece then cutting it out but with the blade on my bandsaw and the...

I currently doing the same thing, 4 blanks to be cut out on the bandsaw, mitered then glued to a center post. My curve is deep enough that I had to glue on another piece to the back to keep some...

a quick search on google has most the breadboards showing off their grooves and to me it looks pretty good. you did do that extra work, why not show it off. Another option would be to run the ends...

We used those space saver bags for a move and if you did not get them into the suitcase quickly they would allow air back in so unless you pump the whole time I don't think it would be a good idea...

sounds like internal stresses to me. Sometimes when you cut the wood especially resawing the wood is not as strong and the stresses are releived by the wood moving. I'm not sure its a species...

Jerry,

I'm currenly building a dresser out of maple and was looking for some finishing tips on the darker red color you mentioned. Can you post some pictures of your samples or shoot me a pm with...

Ok, now you guys have got my attention. I've never used shellac but I currently building a dresser and was concerning using it for the "middle step" but it sounds like it will do well as the finial...

I agree with the sub panel idea, I was in the same place you are now three years ago, one circuit for the lights and garage door opener and one outlet that was on the outside outlet circuit. Now...

Kent,

If I read your question right, you are asking if you need a bigger foundation at the bottom than a 12" diameter pier (113 sq in area). I would have to say no, let's say you have poor soil...

Clear as mud:D So I assume the drawer supports will be "stop dado" into the plywood sides?

I have the Wagner HVLP Conversion Gun for Christmas and I've been using spraying SW oil based paint. It has done a decent job, mostly the problems are my fault, comes with the learning curve. I...

Art,
I like the over all look, but I wonder on the side pieces. Will the rails at 3/4" be thick enough to produce the look you want? Also I would be interested on how the construction of the...

thanks, I'll give that a try.

I'm going through the same problem, first time w/HVLP using S/W oil based paint. Spray booth is in the 60's and at first I had the ruff texture. I kept thinning until the paint mixture look...

Thanks Neil, I was thinking about trying the dye method but then it gets into water versus alcohol solution. If I was planning on using a water base finish do I need to use the alcohol solution so...

I used in some colder temps and the finish came out rough, it may be a bad application (maybe the steel wool) but I had to sand it down and start over. I use the WATCO wipe on poly, nice and smooth. ...

Well, I going to hijack this thread a bit, a friend of my wants an entertainment center finished in black but still wants to see the wood grain under the finish. would this "black shellac" work for...

david,

I used hickory for my workbench, "hurricane delivered". I will agree with Jody, it dulled blades quick and I have the dewalk 735 planer which has the quickest dulling baldes made so I was...

Ok Dave, you are going to have to explain the light think in little more detail if you don't mind. I thought you just put in lights, how do you change something into an emitter? Also why do you need...

What type of light are you using in K to produce those Lighting effects inside the lamps?

Thanks,
Brian
