KC,

A rock bar works well for this job. That is a 5-6 ft. steel bar that goes from round to square with a chisel point on the end. Lots of mass and leverage to remove any stubborn bits. We use...

If you are having trouble slipping on some plywood, I'd suggest a set of these. As you can see, they hold right well on vertical ice. I doubt the plywood would pose a challenge. :)

Merry Xmas...

If pizza is your thing, I'd like to add Barley's to the list. They also sport a very impressive beer selection. Salsa's is great for some carribean/south of the border type cuisine. Get there...

My current favorite is a Rocky Mountain Flow hardtail. Built like a tank to take abuse. (I like to jump things) Just put a Marzocchi AM3 fork on it today. Five inches of plush travel. Disc...

Have you contacted Decorative Flooring about one of those? I installed a 24" version of that exact medalion two weekends back. I can't imagine trying to make one for what they charged me. I...

Dennis,

The trick to any furrin' language is to use it regularly. No matter what method you employ to learn it, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. Being in the construction business, español...

Kevin,

Jatoba can be a bit unpredictable at times. I've had some real horror shows with it in the past. Other times, I'd swear it was the best flooring out there. I'd try water popping the...

Woodline makes a bit for 3/8 t&g flooring. I have that one and the one for 3/4 flooring. Both work very well if you are only running a small batch.

Buena suerta con su projecto.

Jeremy,

Sounds like you are getting hit with a hard sales pitch. I've been in the wood flooring business for about 12 years now and I can tell you we put lots of wood floors in kitchen areas. ...

John,

Same thing here. Beating and banging on nails most of my adult life has left me with some carpal tunnel issues. I run a shorter stem with riser bars and even (gasp!) have bar ends on them....

John,

Mega makes a fine finish on a floor. I've used oodles of the stuff over the years and it is by far the easiest, most consistent of the water bournes that I have used. You may also wish to...

Hi Joe,

I don't own the Washburn model in question but I do have three acoustics from them. I have a late 80s US built extended cutaway dreadnought with some built in electronics (spruce top...

I launched a locust bowl one night last week whilst trying to hollow it out. This stuff is probably a bit too dry but it is a nice crotch piece with some very pretty grain. It is a very beautiful...

Got this maple (silver maple, acer saccharinum) from a guy clearing for a new road on his property. I've been up there cutting up the hardwoods for burning. This tree, obviously, was saved for...

Larry,

I've used just about every type Klingspor offers and I have found their heavyweight ROS discs to be the best. The sterated stuff is good but even the heavyweights tend to last longer. I...

2 inches on the ground this morning before it turned to sleet then to freezing rain and then just rain. Weather folks say more tomorrow night and saturday am. Just wantin' the ice on those parkway...

Paul,

I like Jason's advice of using Bona Mega w/b floor poly. I use that stuff regularly and really like it's ease of application. (my main business is wood flooring)

If indeed your floor is...

Well, my hiding skills aren't as good as that other guy from further west in this state. :-)

I've been lurking some here and at WC. Very occasional posts. Lots to do as I made some personel...

John,

If you are really sold on maple, I could give you enough leftover maple flooring to build a bench top. My plan, when I actually get around to building one, is to use some of the leftover...

Zion, Bryce, Paria/Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness and Grand Staircase/Escalante all offer some incredible scenic beauty. Take a short walk down into the Grand Canyon and really get a taste of what...
