I used some birch plywood purchased @ Lowes which was primed on one side. I oriented the primed sides to the cabinet void under the sink and left it unfinished. I did put a coat of the Watco Dark...
I used the Waterlox straight out of the can. I applied liberally to the vanity top and smoothed it out with a finishing pad I purchased at Lowes. I applied one coat per 24 hours as per the...
I just completed and installed a new bathroom vanity for our log cabin. Much of our cabin furniture is made from wormy chestnut and our existing vanity lacked storage and counter space. I purchased...
Like many woodworkers I got my start on a Shopsmith and over time moved up to dedicated, more powerful machines. I sold my SS 520 a couple of years back and the buyer wasn't interested in my...
Follow up post that might benefit another who might have a similar problem. My Delta 20" bandsaw worked one day this week and the next it kept popping the breaker in the conductor which is mounted...

I have a Delta 33-893 12" 3 ph (208V) RAS that I'm going to retire, part out or junk as it is taking up room in my shop and I need the space. The RAS saw has the Delta LVC box (it came from a...
I purchased this pair of 12" capacity Wm. J. Hood Clamps at an antique auction over 40 years ago. I'm cleaning my shop and have no need for the clamps. Would these clamps have potential value to...
I purchased a 12 ac property last year which came with a 35 hp Mahindra with 200 hours on the meter. So far I've only used it to bush hog. Initial impression is that it is a well made tractor. I...

Other projects have delayed my working on the vanity top but found time last night to rip & surface the boards. As expected, my straight blade planer wanted to pull the grain so I ripped the boards...
I just helped a friend sell her late husband's 1873 Springfield Trapdoor carbine that had serial numbers linking it as a possible "Custer" firearm. We checked out Rock Island Auction (easy to find...
Please put me in the hat also.
