I am looking at getting an Oneida Dust Deputy and using it in my shop.

Currently I am in my garage, rolling anything outside I want to use. I want to use the DD with my 2hp HF collector. I am...

Walnut. I love the way it looks.

Here is one I did recently. Smallish, only 5' by 2'. I really enjoyed the process and since it was short enough, I had lumber that was full length.

I cant thank everyone enough for the input here. You have all given me plenty of info on how to do this. I will try to remember to post pics whenever this gets put together.

Thanks again

I do have a planer. I also like the finger joint idea, although simplicity (Scarf joint) usually works best for me.

I like the scarph joint idea. I also like the idea of using shorter pieces. I will look into both of these.

Jim,

So just using a straight flat butt joint will work? I am using TB3, which has always allowed me to work pieces to get them aligned how I wanted.

Bill,

I made a router planing sled so I'm not worried about using the planer. I have built countertops before, but I always had lumber that was long enough. Just not sure how to join it to...

I am making a butcher block counter top (Edge grain) and need the counter to be longer than the lumber I have. What is a good way to join the lumber to make longer pieces? I don't think butting...

Mars is entirely populated by robots.

Spray bleach on full strength, concentrated bleach (8%) if you can find it. Use a pump up garden sprayer. Let it sit ten min, then rinse it off with a garden hose. Easiest cheapest way to get rid...

I have had quick dry results from Formsbys Tung oil, like an hour from application to drying. Its probably more a varnish that is thinned down than tung oil, but it does ok.

I use howards a lot, usually with several soaks in mineral oil first (Its cheaper!!) Let the Howards soak in over night then polish it off, I try to use several coats of howards, it seems like it...

I was amazed to find the CFR contained a passage about cutting boards.

21 CFR part 1 contains:

4-101.17 Wood, Use Limitation.

Its going between the fridge and stove. I do plan on using an epoxy finish, so I guess TB3 it is.

Thanks for all the discussions guys.

I finished the randomness portion of this, now to get the next panel cut and then mix the pieces!!

Thx Wayne and Jack.

I do like the two part epoxy idea, still searching for THE glue.

Thank you. I had never considered anything but TB3.

By two pack Poly, I assume you mean two part mix poly?

In process of building a counter top for a relative. I plan on using long grain pieces of maple, similar to a work bench top. I was going to use this as a test for a larger project a customer has...

I failed when I started out in wood working by not cleaning them well.

I do a lot of cutting boards, end grain and long grain. So, lots of hardwoods clamped together with a lot of squeeze out,...

I have had troubles with the pipe from the pipe clamps causing discolored spots on the wood

Have some 24" and 48" Irwin clamps, they work ok, but after too many glue ups that didn't get cleaned up all the way I am having trouble getting them to clamp properly.

So, I am looking to...

Do you put a router on long grain glue ups?

I went after this with a belt sander today. I HATE belt sanding. But I got it done.

On to 40 grit and all its pals. I have think I will pass on raising the grain this time, as the majority seem...
