    This definitely doesn't fit into the FWW category, but wood was definitely involved in the making.

    With the initial regrading completed and posts fully installed over the past two weeks (hand...

    I feel like I've just been tapping on the proverbial hornet's nest with this one. Thanks all, for your responses. Your experiences, offered insights, and respectful banter are all part of the reason...

    I imagine it would be fairly difficult, especially if glue had been used in that assembly process :D

    Fortunately, I haven't even progressed any further than the planning and material purchase...

    That's an excellent suggestion!

    I usually prefer some type of mechanical connection over just glue, wherever it might be applicable. I used draw-bored tenons on a saw bench that I built just a...

    I've used Total Boat and the slow hardener as a finish coat for a past sign project (pic below), and still have some around. So, this is a definite possibility. But for joinery, would it be...
  6. Which Glue: Polyurethane or Epoxy For a Fence Gate

    Howdy all! I haven't posted for a looong time, for reasons that I won't go into in this ask. But I am still making sawdust and pulling out the occasional splinter, so all is good.

    I'm just...

    Nice work, Andrew. I especially like the cockbeading and matching grain patterns on the drawers. I'm in the beginning stages of making a bed for my granddaughter using Western Red Alder and this...

    I have the Bosch RA1171 benchtop router table and use it with a Bosch 1617EVS 2-1/4 router and the Bosch RA1165 under table lift. It's a pretty basic setup but will do most of what a serious hobbiest...

    Between the two, only cypress is naturally resistant to moisture, right? For that reason, I'd go with the cypress. Plus the lighter color might look better sitting in a shower stall, a location which...

    Sorry for the slow follow-up, I'm out of the daily habit of checking for updates in SMC :/

    The image I'd included on the left came from the original image photos that I found through Pinterest....

    Michael, I'm just offering another possible design suggestion. I'm currently building (for my daughter) a Mid-Century style bookcase based on the photo below. When finished the general dimensions are...

    I agree with what was said earlier on in this discussion; that the market conditions are notably different now than they were preceding the 2008 crash. At the same time though, prices have been going...

    Erik,

    Thanks for posting this and your earlier comment regarding pickle "nectar" as I'll call it (I done a bit of hobby canning over the years :)). I've never made the connection to pickle juice...

    I haven't tried this myself because my feeders were right outside my window. But you could put a small plastic ball or other type of visible float inside the feeder that would be easy to spot from a...

    Me too :) Thanks!

    Hope you're still making progress in the 'new' shop. I haven't been spending as much time here recently as in the past, so I guess I've got some catching up to do!

    Thanks for the offer, Richard. But I appear to have found a direct replacement for the one that's on a 6-month back order.


    A big thanks to all those who reached out in response to my post in the...

    Thank you, John. I was half joking when I wrote that, but now I'm beginning to think it might be my best or only way to find a jointer before the end of the year.

    You'd think those that are sitting on top of billions would see fit to put a little seed money back into the economy to help prime the pump. But I guess the lure of going to Pluto seems a much more...

    Erik,

    Sadly, I agree on this being the new status quo. At least for the near term. Another reason Lie-Nielsen is such a value to have in the U.S. is that they still (?) do their own foundry work....
