    This is the color I'm working on now. You can see the final color in the field, the raw color in the dado and the toned color on the rabbet. The tone doesn't look as good in the pic as it does with...

    Toning. LOL

    But it's true. The other option is to sand it down and restain. If you only put a bit of dye in the finish and sneak up on the color you eliminate most chances for striping. After...

    I use 2P10 a lot. I actually wish it was a little slower. It's suppose to take 10 seconds to bond but it's more like 3-4 seconds and it's locked up. You have to get your joint nearly perfect from...

    23ga pins are usually fine for applying moldings. It's always nice if you can glue the molding on, which makes the pins a clamp. If you are using prefinished moldings on prefinished cabinets then...

    I did actually say both things about the glue. Don't use a lot or it's like lubrication and can cause slippage. But when you do use glue you can't release the clamp until the glue sets, which is...

    Yes to what you said about the glue putting a space in between but I think it's more of a lubricant that helps the wood shift. I've noticed without using glue there is usually less shifting because...

    If you drill the hole through it will move more. The secret I use for face frames which is one end grain part being attached to an edge grain part is this. Use glue. Put the parts together and use...

    A hour outage shouldn't have caused much issues as long as the fridge is kept closed. But glad it worked out and the feeling of not having to worry really makes it worth while.

    With the remote control I don't actually see the need for the timer. I have an Oneida with remote and two FOBs placed in convenient areas. Between the two remotes and power switch I can turn it on...

    Need more info. I get the remote control. What about the timer? Do you want the remote control to turn the unit on and then the timer turn it off after the preset time expires?

    You can put a solar charger and a outlet fed charger on the battery at the same time. If the AC one dies the solar will continue to charge.

    I have a solar/inverter setup in my truck. 3KW sine...

    So you need a back up for your back up?

    I understand you overthinking this but there are going to be situations beyond your control. How far do you plan on going? The inverter can fail, the...

    Don't do any of that. Hook up a charger to the battery and that's it. The battery charger keeps the battery up to snuff and the inverter powers the fridge. When the power goes out the charger no...

    As long as the ends are supported with brackets, wood triangle or something going down to the floor it should be fine. Make sure the corner of the desktop is sturdy so it is self supporting.

    I hate Poplar for doors. It's soft, it moves to much with the humidty, it doesn't paint well with pro paints (CV, Precat, paints well with a brush). Soft Maple doesn't really look good, colors are...

    If you can screw them to the side of the cabinet then there is no reason for the H version. But good luck finding Blum Tandems right now. There is a worldwide shortage.

    If you have enough length in the chisel then cut the width of your board by 1/4" and then cut all your mortises. After you're done cut the 1/4" off the other side and you get your clean exit hole.

    Smaller bits and some medium bits I get 1/4" shanks so I can use them in the Colt router. Nice to be able to use one hand on the router and the other for something else. For the most part I try to...
