    Good question about the dye. When I applied alcohol dye on the soft (big leaf, western) maple, it was very blotchy. The client wants knots, and they soak up a lot more dye than the other area. The...

    Cool idea! I dropped a board in the garage gravel, stepped on it, and took a look. The road gravel is a little too big, but the concept is great. We have some smaller size sand that might just do...
  4. Distressing - lots of small, dark defects

    I am working on a cabinet that hopes to match another piece in a client's house. The old piece is an older Drexel Heritage sideboard in knotty pine with lots of small distressing marks, along with...
  5. Walnut dresser

    I just finished a walnut dresser for one of the kids. The milling was a mix of power and hand tools. The long cuts were done on the table saw and the easy ones with a hand saw/shooting board. Most...

    So cool! Thanks for sharing the pic. I can see how that could be a challenge to stack, especially on carpet.

    Triple T's

    The book "Tremendous Toy Trucks" has some nice, realistic designs of vehicles. It's power tool focused, but easily adaptable to hand tools.

    I made the log truck and tow truck so far and the kids...

    I'm in the "they work great" camp. I have a hard maple bench, just under 4" thick. 3/4" holes. Slight sanding (round-and-round) when they arrived and you can't remove them after a firm hammer...

    Doug - I've been eyeing that jointer, too, thinking the same thing: for that price, you are getting a lot of iron! It looks like a real fixer-upper, though, and that time plus cost of parts might...

    For me, it all came down to the cost and availability of the nuts. Roton has a much wider selection than Enco, but costs a lot more (min order of $60 IIRC). I don't mind the thread pitch at all for...

    The thick washers I mentioned in the first post would be what I would use with those wing nuts. The length of those, however, might be a little long at 9.5". The handwheels are 5" and just right. ...

    Totally true. One consideration, though, is that the handwheel hub is 1.4" in diameter (IIRC). That doesn't leave a ton of wall thickness (1.4-1.25)/2 = 0.075" for the set screw, assuming it was a...

    I think with decent bits, a good clamp/vise, and a lot of sizes from small to large, the cast iron can be drilled on a drill press. Compared to steel it is soft. I drilled the set screws on my...

    At the onset to this project, I thought the cost of the Benchcrafted set was a little high for what you got. With some shopping around, I found it's really only $30-40 worth of hardware. However,...

    If I could get my hands on an acme flange, that would be a nice way to go. I definitely considered it, but the flange I found was costly. A nut could be used, but it's only 3/4" thick, so I don't...
