I started this post back in 2011. I became quite frustrated with the answers I was getting. I pretty much disappeared from Sawmill Creek. There were too many people chiming in that didn't...
Thanks Peter,
That should end my endless google searches for this information.

I can't seem to find the answer to this question. Can you use a good quality aluminum router bit on wood. What is the difference between the
two? Are the flutes more shallow and won't clear the...
It's now been a month with my chair inside the house at 70+ degrees. My projects are hobby projects and I don't have to sell them, so time is no factor.
The chair has lost almost all of the tack it...
It's been one week with my chair inside the house at 70 degrees. The slight tack has not gone away but it is definitely sandable.
Prashun,
Thanks for your help. I believe this puts me back on track.
Prashun,
I wiped the chair down with MS and wiped all the MS off with a clean towel.
I brought the chair up to the house where it will sit for a week.
Over time, If I'm able to lightly sand...

I had BLO sitting on the table along with tung oil when I decided to mix this concoction. I remembered from an earlier post about Sam Maloof originally using Tung oil in his mix, but...
I made a Galbert rocking chair from Black Walnut – sanded to 320.
I tested 3 different finishes on a test piece before applying anything to my chair.
They were:
1) Sam Maloof poly/oil + Sam...

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying you should ask him about your idea of hooking up your Insteon home automation system with the dust collector. I think you might get an honest answer that...
Wayne,
The person I talked to at Oneida was Andy. He was their tech guy. He was very knowledgeable and was always more than willing to help. If he still works there, I'll bet you could ask him this...
Wayne,
When I first bought my Oneida cyclone, the remote worked out to about 15'. By the end of the 1st year, it was down to 5' and I had to aim it at the dust collector. I called tech at Oneida and...
Scott,
I’m trying to learn about finishing. There’s no better way than to ask questions. To someone like yourself, they may sound foolish, but to the novice, it’s something they need to know. It’s...
Pete,
My question was prompted by the false assumption that I had of the Maloof Oil/Wax finish. I thought it had varnish in it. It’s 50% BLO & Tung Oil and a handful of Beeswax.
I also...
Thanks Prashun,
That's pretty much what I wanted to hear.
Put a few more coats of varnish mix on (I've already put another coat on this morning)
I'll apply 2 or 3 more.
Then, leave it alone!...
Sam,
I was responding to Prashun's suggestion that I not mix the wax with anything, but put it on by itself.
I have read in other posts from SMC to wet sand the final wipe on varnish with mineral...
Prashun,
I have on hand Johnson's Paste wax and a beeswax mixture (mineral oil + beeswax) that I mixed way too much of last year.
Will any of these work?
If not, can you give me your suggestions...
Steve,
I brought the chair up to the house overnight and it has lost the tack. It had only been one day since the last coat. I'm told not go too long in between coats.
You say I have a minimal...
I have 6 coats of a varnish (P&L #38 Satin) on a rocking chair that I made from Hard rock maple. These 6 coats are over a water based dye (transtint). The formula I used was approximately 1/3 Varnish...
I had never made a Windsor chair before.
Decided to make the Galbert Chair.
Bought the plans.
Plans said I needed to be an expert.
I wasn’t.
This was my first mistake.
The second was to make...
Norman,
Thanks for the details. After I posted my 'One last reply' I realized that the surface plate might give me a super flat surface, but I wouldn't have control with such a large plate. I then...
One last reply. I'm not going to use my RO sander. You have all talked me out of using it, but I am thinking of using 3M Stickit paper on my Granite Surface Plate that I picked up at Woodcraft. The...
[QUOTE=Norman Hitt;1686592]Boy, reading this thread, I can't believe so many people apparently cannot READ. He said in the very first post that the first 27 inches going away from the cutterhead on...
