Maybe a dumb question--While sanding a small piece, the entire sanding pad flew off and went across the shop. Not just the sanding disc--the entire plastic/rubber pad. The sander is an older ...

yes it does temporarily. I sanded the area again w. 220 and re-appliesd some BLo-it;s better,but not gone. Interesting that the spots are at the same place on the slats. the slats were all cut from...

I applied BLO on walnut sanded to 220. Waited between 25 and 30 minutes and rubbed off excess. It has been about 18 hours. 98% of surface looks really nice, but there are about 2 or 3 areas (about...

Sorry about that...should have thought that would be important. Dye stains, Shellac, Varnish, and an occasional urethane or poly product. Rarely if ever will Ibe using paints. and probably not...

I've never installed a barrel hinge before-the kind where a hole is drilled and the hinge is dropped into it and a small set screw is tightened to keep it in place.

There were no instructions and...

When I went to the site, the 50" clamp was listed at $37.94--but there was a promotion to buy any 2 clamps and get a 24" clamp free. Is there another place where the $26.35 price is listed? coupon...

Larry--I replied to this a couple days ago, but can't find the post here it's long--you can find it by searching for my post under the "support forum" on "timing of response" Larry

thanks. just wondering. didn't want him to think there isn't anything to do in KC. (except watch the Royals lose...again) Larry

This is is probably a dumb question. How long does it take for a response to be posted to the topic? I sent one this morning to a post wanting info on what to do in KC and I can't seem to find it in...

You probably will need to sand all the way down, which will be fun when you get to those panels--any power sander may "round over" to edges of the panel--be careful--probably use a block and take...

I have been told to NEVER put any oil based finish, especially poly(which is a varnish) or laquer on the INSIDE of a chest that will store clothes. The closed lid, and the nature of the finish will...

Thanks guys--I'll be patient. Larry

A friend made a blanket chest using 3/16" walnut plywood for the panels. He glued 2 pieces back to back to obtain a 3/8" panel finished on both sides. (in accord with a published plan--the panels...
