Hi all -

it's been a long time but I'm back in the garage and working on a dresser. I went with red oak and, though not finished yet, am starting to look at finish options. I'm wondering if any...

Great! thanks so much for the response, Chris!

Todd,

another question - provided I can locate Bartley's here in Austin, can I lay a coat of shellac before the varnish to prevent blotching or is that a no no? I'm really clueless when it...

Thanks, guys! I'll have to find a source for Bartley's since my local woodcraft does not have any.

thanks again,

Delano

Hi all,

I'm working on replacing a vanity top and plan on trimming the laminate top with maple and routing a chamfer on it. I have a couple of questions though and I'm hoping y'all can help out.

Hi all,

with the current Jet promo and woodcraft's 10% discount I'm seriously considering getting a Jet mini. Could someone just give me the lowdown on what basic equipment I would need to go...

Howard,

I agree with Ken and think you should submit these posts as articles. They are very informative and have been a huge help to me. I'm hoping to go through your regiment later this week to...

thanks for the replies, Mike and Howard. I do appreciate it. I should have mentioned that the tuning I did was with a dial guage. miter slot was within .001 and .002 and the miter gauge is an...

Hi all,

hope everyone had a good weekend!

Well, the in-laws came into town yesterday so I got a little time in the garage (aka - the shop). Decided I'd fine tune the saw to prepare for my...

thanks again!

Todd, I'm interested in doing both full panel and decorative veneering. Would you normally use regular yellow glue or contact cement?

Paul & Dave, thanks for the websites. I'll...

Bob,

thanks for the reply. I'll look those books up on Amazon and check out eBay. sounds like some good deals are out there to be had!

Delano

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping some of you can direct me to some of your favorite sources on learning to veneer. If you have favorite books, sites and supply sources I'd love to hear about them.

Do you...

Thanks, Chadd. Did you purchase the whole book of lessons or just the one on angled DT's? Looks like a good product. Did you spend a lot on tools? I've been wanting to try my hand at DT's but not...

Chadd,

that is one beautiful chest. How did you handle the dovetails w/that angle? Excuse the ignorance but were they done by hand?


Delano

Dan,

congrats on such a beautiful home. What a blessing!

Jim,

thanks so much again for the information. I went ahead and ordered the pin solution from Grip-Tite for now and will probably order the delta a little later. Tool budget is running low after...

In case some don't peruse any of the other boards:

Amazon is having a sale on their Jorgensen 24", 36" 48" clamps:

24" - $14.99...regular $32.99
36" - $16.99...regular $38.99

Jim,

that's great to hear! Would you happen to have any information on the splitter? Are we talking about the one you have to order through Delta's service parts dept?

thanks again,

Delano

Jim,

thanks again. It is the lee valley insert so I'll use epoxy.

Delano

Jim thanks for the response. I too would prefer a removable splitter but I believe the only one that will fit my Jet Contractor is the Biesemeyer and dropping $140 right now is not possible for me...

Hi All,

before I am berated on purchasing the plate instead of making my own let's just say I've purchased it and that's that ;). I'm a 'newbie' with 3 little ones under the age of 6 so my time...
