I'm from Alberta, Canada. The air is dry, especially this time of year.
From 4/4 walnut I have made a piece of wall art (Hawaiian Island chain) that will travel with me to our villa in Maui where...
Have you got a pic of the label of this adhesive? In Canada, we often don't have the same products, or product labels, as you have in the US. It would steer my eyes and my search in the right...
I generally work with yellow glue, but, had warpage on a piece I did a few years ago. Mind you, it was 1/4" on 1/4"....so, that's where my original concern came from. As someone mentioned, the...
Yes, the plan was to cut one to size, the other oversize, then flush trim upon drying. It'll have to go in a bag though, as I lack sufficient cauls, clamps and/or heavy objects.
PL huh? Seems thick...how would you spread it so as to mitigate any high points....other than clamping the snot out of it....
There is "cherry", which many furniture and pool table manufacturers call their stain (and it looks Merlot/burgundy).
Then there is cherry wood, which has a generally pinkish brown tone pre-UV, and...
So, either option....the 3/4 on 3/4, or the 3/8 - 3/4 - 3/8 sandwich should be fine?
The issue then, in preventing warping, is the moisture from the glue?
I am making an inexpensive (and quick) kitchen table for friend - long story, divorce, no money, etc.
I'd like to make the table top out of cabinet-grade plywood (I have 3/4" and 3/8" on hand),...

I have made 16 x 48" panels out of marine grade ply on my shed. I love the look of the grain and want to bring it out a bit, as well as give it a bit of protection.
Most of the deck / fence...
I have some 3/4" walnut veneered plywood. Store bought, not self-veneered. It's a layered x-section type substrate, with no MDF in the core at all.
I was making a 1/8 groove in it with my...
I am looking for a scroll saw design / pattern for the silhouette of a Monkeypod or Bansai tree, something similar in design as the puzzles from this book:...
I was going to start a new thread, but perhaps I can ask here....
I used Mineral Oil on an endgrain cutting board made from Padauk, Walnut, Maple, Zebrawood, Cherry and Purpleheart.

....what he said.
That is almost always one of the implicit messages by the anti-safety measure camp.
In this case, the gentleman is too concerned with profitibility and productivity to "waste" his time with...
I guess if you post 90% valuable information on any message board and 10% garbage, you'll have posters comment on the garbage.
If I were a relationship expert, I could write a long essay on some...
I used to race motocross and currently do the same with downhill mountain bikes....both sports are very dangerous. People have lost their lives or become paralyzed doing what I do for fun.

I teach junior high shop and need to ventilate my 7 scroll saws. The school board did not ventilate them initially, likely under the assumption that they do not produce much dust. Well, 7 of them...
Quite some time ago I used an oil based gel polyurethane. Not a gel stain, rather, a clear coat, durable surface, poly. like any liquid varathane product....just in gel form.
It seems I can't find...

I have heard horror stories about using Ebony for pens....and that someone here stated that pens made from Ebony fall into 2 categories:
1. Those that have broken
2. Those that will break

I am curious what "tried, tested and true" methods people have employed to mask the ugly brass tubes when making an acrylic pen that has a transluscent nature to it.
I have heard that white primer...
When I bring the tailstock to the headstock, they align on the plane parallel to the lathe bed.....but the tail stock is just a hair lower than the headstock. To me, this rules out any problems with...
