I really like that wood. The smell is really nice and turns great. I've not had any trouble keeping the green color with a CA finish. I'd guess it's the piece of wood rather then the finish you are...

Scott - I've used red elm mostly for turning, and after proper drying it stays just as round as any other wood I've used. It does have a reputation for moving. While waiting for rough tunred blanks...
Porter Cable router and jigsaw. 2 routers less then 1 yr old and one is dead, the jig saw base plate broke off the saw in about 10 months.
The machine could be out of adjustment on the outfeed side.
But, this can easily happen depending on your technique for jointing. It's hard to explain. But, imagine you are drawing a strait line...
You can also have your planer blades ground to a steeper angle to greatly reduce tearout on figured wood. A slower feed rate (if possible) will also greatly help along with the light passes.
Lee has some good advice and in the range. Buffet style gets tighter spacing with top brass VIP and formal getting the most space. You just have to decide how big of a table fits the room, and how...
Thanks Ray. I did search google, yahoo and so on. I did manage to find the same design. It is on the large size. But at least one place to start.
I was wondering if anyone has photo's of, or suggested plans for a child's bed that looks like a train engine. Not the plastic stuff, I've got in my mind painted plywood/mdo.
I do have a person...
I don't know if you have ACE Hardware stores. They carry the red devil lye around here.
I have settled on about 2 tbls per pint of water using the Red Devil brand lye. Use caution as advised and neutralize with a vinegar / water rinse after application.
Different strengths yeild...

Great job - very nice looking work. I would be inclined to add the green to the base coat of dye rather then the top coat. Just mix the red/green together. That way any sanding you have to accomplish...
I don't the particulars on target's sealer. The main thing you want to avoid is getting the raw dyed surface very wet with your sealer, or working it mechanically hard (lot's of rubbing, hard rubbing...
I think you are on the right track w/alcohol dye. The reason is that it dries very quicky. The trick is to spray light enough to avoid having it penetrate the differing grain patterns. You can setup...
You can pad it on or rub it out. Shellac rubs out extreamly well and it's one of easiest of all to rub out.
You also need more then one coat to rub out. The four you have will be enough when...
It's easy... the biggest one that will fit
I'm not sure about how to make the tool what you want. I think you should have probably cut the joinery before assembling the case.
Most likely it will be ok to have the first biscuit situated in...
Along with bleeding, the dye will fade in direct sunlight. There should be plenty in the cab of a vehicle. You might look at using either artists colors or fresco powders for the coloring.
You can put another film finish over the poly after sanding. Since BLO penetrates you can't put that over poly without removing all of the poly.
You might try rubbing the poly with ms & paste wax...
Agree w/Todd's comments on latex & oil based.
Fuhr makes an acrylic enamel designed to avoid blocking and see use in general furniture finishing. Also target PSL is available in colors. Both can...
The oak pores can really stand out with a dye! Sometimes badly, other times not so bad. I used to come back over the dye with a thin shellac working it just a bit with a brush. That would lift a...
I read your post twice and think it says you want to use solid wood ? If that's what you want, then you can just cut a rabbit on each side panel. Image sort of like a lap joint but on long grain. A...
I don't do woodworking to make a living. I did it just for fun for about 12 years, for the last 5 yr about 70% of the woodwork I do is on commision. Very small volume, maybe 4 large items a year...
Something like an adapted hoosier cabinet. I've made a few, and they are always a hit... Here's a link to a great supplier of parts for such cabinets.
The slide out tabletop might be nice if you...
I have one also. It's a very good machine for the price. The frame is a little flexy, and the table trunions aren't very solid. It can really get rocking when cutting badly chainsawed turning...
