Thanks, that brings up a good point. I was considering filling the grain prior to prestain, etc. Is there a recommended product to use> I have use Aqua Coat on oak cabinets many times but that is a...

there is a thin gap. Is Woodwise stainable?

Is there any way to improve the appearance of this?
I cut the banding from red oak. It's approx .090 thick.
The slab I glued it to is 1.5" thick red oak veneer That I had pressed @ the local...

Kevin, I'm leaning in that direction. The edge banding is .035 including the glue, .025, wood only. Plus the grain pattern is just ugly.
I could cut thin strips of red oak on my table saw. In your...

OMG, this is just in time. I'm going to need something like this in about three weeks and ws just beginning to think about how I would accomplish it. Thanks!

Attached are images of a counter top I am building. It is a 3/4" sheet of red oak ply bonded to a 3/4" sheet of birch ply, but not the high quality birch stuff. I am applying edge banding but am...

Kind of what I thought but I wanted to draw on the experiences of this fine group. Thank you.

I can't get the color I need in a oil based wiping stain from any General Finishes vendor but I can get a perfect match using an Old Masters wiping stain. Does anyone for see a problem with using...

I recently completed 2 mirrors for a client and had the same concerns. My mirrors were narrower but taller. Based on what I learned consider the following:
1.Use 1/4" HDF or a good quality MDF for...

I had 3 large cherry veneer panels made for a built-in cabinet tops. The panels are 1.5" thick made from some type of MDF. I am edge banding them with cherry veneer I had cut. Both the veneered...

Wanted to report back about what I did to resolve this problem. I cut a series kerfs along the width (16"), 8 all total, 1/4" deep. I then taped off the sides and using West System epoxy and their...

Glass Co is doing that with mastic.

I bought a 4x8 3/4" sheet of PerformPly. Birch face, 11 plies.
It looked pretty flat when I bought it. Ripped it into 3 strips, 16"x96" So I could have 3 pieces of 1/4" mirror attached to it.
Now...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Ended up sticking with the ARS since project timeline changed allowing for additional cure time. Factor in ease of application and its ARS for the win in this case.

Hello everyone,
I have a built in desk top to finish. It is Cherry veneer. There are shelving units and other items that will sit on top of the desk. My original plan was to use ARS due to it's...

Good Evening,
I have a pair of Rockler F style clamps, the type with the small notches in the top and bottom of the bar.
I can't tighten them up due to the moveable end slipping on the bar. The...

Excellent point. I routed the mating edges with an 1/8" Amana 45 degree chamfer bit. My brother taught me rather than trying to make the joint look perfectly flush to make the joint look intentional...

Yes, the fit was loose in both pieces. What I ended up doing was drilling my holes on opposite sides of 1x3 maple so I had good stable clamping faces, then ripped to final dimension. For this...

Yes, that is how I learned the fitment is loose. Experimenting on scrap. I tend to do that whenever I can due to my inexperience. After reading and watching vids on youtube I assumed the dowels would...

Inever considered that. I may go in that direction. Thanks!

This is my first time working with dowels. I have a new Jessem 8350 kit with the adapters to do 1/4" dowels. Here is my concern:
I built a wall to wall bookcase/TV unit, sprayed in Inslx Cabinet...

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. Once I had the saw I wanted to make an outfeed table, a tall fence and crosscut sled. Before I started any attempt at accurate cuts I began by measuring...

First, thanks for all the replies. Now I'll add more info to clarify.
1. I am measuring blade runout similar to Bruce's set up. Placing the dial indicator plunger just below the teeth in a location...

Looking for some feedback on a blade runout concern.
The saw is a Dewalt 7491. I have 3 blades that all have .006-.008 runout measured with my dial indicator following common measuring practice. The...

Just wanted to post the results of my sled build. I measured both table top slots and aligned the blade to the left slot. Measuring the right slot it was out of parallel to the blade by about .007 so...
