    How do I stain sycamore?

    I have made a couch out of sycamore because I could get some really cheap 8/4 and grain looked like it would match mahogany once I stained it. But staining it is not going well.

    It is not immediately apparent how to send a PM.

    I can log in, but I can't post a message. I have never gotten an email from you as "Wade".

    Can you help me, or am I condemned to be "Suanne"...

    How is it going with that? I used to use a bag that snapped onto the bottom, but dust poured out of every hole.
    So I did what you did last week. It seems to cut the below table dust down a bit...

    Neither, I bought mine used for $700 and got $300 worth of wood!

    You could ask the same thing about a jointer, planer, drum sander, etc.
    Its a nice tool. Whether it is worth $1,000 is a personal...

    Thinking ahead, good move.
    I wired a subpanel with 6/3 eventhough I was only planing on using 30A. Same work and not much more material; way better than finding out I needed more in 5 years.

    When I do that on my TS I have to leave a 1/16" web between the two cuts or it gets really messy.

  16. Router table dust collection.

    I cut extra holes in the table insert to suck the dust in. With a DC, as opposed to a vacuum, you have to have a lot of openings to avoid choking it, but that is okay, and they pick up the dust.
