Old post, but I would note that the last time I inspected a can of Formby's, a few years back, it contained linseed oil and made no mention of tung oil. Many tung oil finishes are actually boiled...

I can see asking a woodworkers forum for input. Over on another site, a fellow hired and electrician, to make sure it was all done right. The electrician installed fourteen gauge lines and outlets....
I realize this is an old thread, but the information remains relevant.
I am no chemist, Nor am I a concrete specialist. That said, it remains thousands of concrete experts who recommend sealing...
Impact driver, which can be adjusted for torque.
I agree, so called paintable silicone caulks have been around decades. Most professional painters have tried them, at least once. Paint still pulled, or didn't hold up as well on them. It's...
I'm having trouble seeing the problem. When I was starting out and cut my first triangle, forty years ago, I started to sweat the angle capability of my saw, but I got over that after I realized I...
Go with the in-line reserve tank others suggested. All you need is a hose and one, two or three after market tanks connected by hoses and you've upped the capacity of your compressor. One nice...
Not in the world of professional painters.
If you need flex, think "elastomeric" in your web searches. For example, installing Hardyboard, or the equivalent, you have to leave gaps on the...
I wouldn't go there, but, for reference, hide glue works on glass and, of course wood. Those in the glass etch industry use hide glue to create the chip effect you see on some etched glass. They...
My G0490X is only a couple months old. Due to circumstance, everything I've ran through it is highly figured walnut and acacia. After the expected adjustments of the beds, and a quick tap of the...
GRIZZLY G0490X 8" JOINTER
After a year of looking for a good jointer and losing out on three nice ones, due to procrastination, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new Grizzly 8" Jointer with...
For those interested, I just found one hit: http://www.woodcraft.com/articles/articles.aspx?articleid=281&page=1
I have an older Jet 3hp, four bag system. I swapped the stock bags on top for 1 micron bags and the bottom ones for plastic bags. I was considering using some heavy duty plastic drums to replace the...
You could use BLO. Just thin your first applications as much as seventy percent, but no less than fifty. When you get to one end, and if the point you started at absorbed the application, go back...
Hey, calling my Unifence a Chevy was a compliment ( I like em both and owned nothing but, until about twenty-five years ago (my first car was a 57 Chev 1/2 ton). That's why I'm using my second [on my...
Ah foo. I'm using my second Unifence (first saw was a right tilt, current is, of course, a left). I get along well with my Chevy, but would like to pick up a shorty fence to use for stops with the...
I like wood, period. That said, I am building my wife a new kitchen and everything is paint poplar with a coat of white paint (bead board centers).
If you're selling anyway and potential...
Over simplification:
Issues of strength aside, you can use whatever you want. Some woods may last longer out in the elements, but, in the end, there is no magic, immortal wood. Anything you use...
For my circle cutter, you just push a square big enough to make the circle but small enough to spin and not hit the frame until the circle sled stops. To stop it, I just added a front piece, which...
Didn't mind the cost as much when shipping was a buck. However, if I just need a few hundred two inchers, I'm better off staying local, even big box "local."
Crap. Never caught this thread until today. I had a lot of things in my cart to restock the shelves. Of course, it's all gone. Add to that, I checked the cart and the only thing that did show was a...
POCKET HOLE PLUG CUTTING JIG FOR THE BAND SAW
I’ve seen several well designed pocket hole plug cutting jigs for use on the table saw. However, I opted to perform the operation using the...
That's a good point James. I kinda miss my first-born, but, hey, the prices was right, so let me tell you about my new tool.
BLO [or tung oil (my pref.)] is not the best product for water resistance. However, even the best paint isn't either, if it isn't maintained. In fact, it can, at least somewhat, work to your...
If there is a problem with exterior oils, it's likely because they are not using a long oil recipe. Simply, they are just poly with more oil added, so they flex with the moisture content shifts.
