    I mixed 2 parts “dark walnut” with one part “red mahogany” after sealing with Daley’s “Benite”.


    That is as dark as I can get with what I have. It is not as dark as I would like, but is a...

    Thanks John. I'll try some ratios and see if I can get what I like. I generally make small items and prefer to not color my wood, but will file your recommendation for SW stains for possible future...

    Mix MinWax Stains?

    I am a neophyte to finishing and particularly staining, which I tend to avoid. I am making a stereo cabinet for my brother from Oak. He would like the coloration to be "dark brown with a reddish...

    checking "lapidary" and "sand blasting", I'm having difficulty finding white aluminum oxide in volumes less than 50# I'm thinking a multiple step process, starting with 80 grit, 120, 220 and then a...

    I have read that method elsewhere and am trying it as this is written. I am thinking that getting some aluminum oxide grit(s) only, no paper, may be the way to go. So far I can only find it in...

    I have tried several media. Most are OK for P O L I S H I N G brass. They also P O L I S H wood. I need better/more aggressive abrasion to soften corners on hardwood in less than a couple of...

    Source for 6" fittings for dust collection

    I am going crazy trying to find 6" hose fittings for my dust collection. All the sites I have checked tend to stop at 4". even those that sell 6" hose! Web searches have not helped.

    I'm setting...

    I consider myself a neophyte at woodworking and getting info from those that have done it / lived it is so much better than reading marketing blather Thanks again.

    Thanks for your input Rick. Are you saying the trade-off for HSS vs Carbide is ease of sharpening vs longer life without sharpening and HSS will give me hundreds of holes between sharpenings?

    Thanks Bill, I learned that lesson also. Even with a sharp bit there is a good chance for tear-out, especially if your speed of cut is too fast. I think I will stick to a name brand, carbide tipped...

    Thanks Matt, I'm generally pleased with my router bits from either brand.

    Thanks for the info Pat. That sure looks like a great option. If my product idea takes off, the price would not be an issue. At around $180, I may try to wear out a cabide forstner on protoypes...

    I am in entirely new territory for me. My thought is to use a very thin penetrating epoxy to make the punky wood workable to level the surface as much as possible without pulling out chunks or...

    Steve,

    Thanks for taking the time for the helpful reply. My shop temperature is virtually always in the 2-4 hour "pot life" and the 2 day "full cure" range.

    Thanks for the warnings about CPES. What is your experience regarding a reasonable expectation for hardening time in punky wood?

    Thanks Jamie. It seems thinner would be better for punky wood. I read that this product is better for rotten wood than others including the Minwax and was hoping someone on this site had some...

    Thanks Rick, I'm getting a little better feeling about the 1 year warrantee as I hear from Grizzly owners. The G1066Z comes with velcro and also a rubber feed belt.
