I got a turnbuckle for a dining room table I did at Grainger. www.grainger.com.
Good evening! It has been a while since I've been on the forum, but I wanted to share some work I am doing.
A few years back we added sunroom to the back of the house. We left the windows...
Thanks for the compliments!
I just finished my third one this weekend. I had a few leftover strips and ended up making a few "hot pad" sized boards as well.
I'm using 100 grit sandpaper on the...
I completed my first end-grain cutting board yesterday. It is made out of hard maple and walnut. Finish is 3 coats of mineral oil followed by 2 coats of mineral oil and beeswax combo. This is the...
Most of the videos or other information I could find where people had tried to make feed tables ended up in failure. Most of the time the issue was they could never get it to track straight. The...
Yes, I'm going to manually run the material through. I plan on building a push block that is about 1/8" thick with a handle and the width of the table. I couldn't find any formica drops large enough...
The bed is attached with a piano hinge on the back side of the stand. It will raise up and down using the handle/rod shown in the picture, but won't move side-to-side.
Well, I decided to make some end-grain cutting boards this year for Christmas gifts. After reading and watching a lot of videos on them, I got the impression that sanding them is the worst part. ...
I have been commissioned to build a display case for the school I teach part time at. They want the finish to match the other book cases and tables in the area. These items are the "cherry" finish...
Nice cabinet! I like the lighting.
That's cool. I'm sure he appreciated it.
Thanks Prashun. I appreciate the feedback.
I learned a lot doing the finish. It was the first time I had used the TransTint dyes, shellac, General Finishes gel stains or the varathane finish, so...

The bikes are a Yamaha FZ6 (mine) and a Honda Rebel 250 (DW's).
Thanks! It was based on the Benchwright table at Pottery Barn that the DW liked.
It is pretty beefy. Wife is barely able to pick the top up without the legs attached. Some not so nice words...
Good morning! I wrapped up the DW's new dining table last night. Overall a fun project. I learned a lot doing the finish work on it. Thanks to all who provided input into the finish schedule in...
Nice. I really like the saddle.
Nice. I like the two-tone look.
It is always neat when a project can be put together from stuff just lying around.
Maybe General Finish Java gel stain? It is pretty dark.....
I ended up having some universal colorant added to some Zinser seal coat at the box store. 4 drops of an ochre color..... Sprayed it on and it really added to the depth of the finish. I've got one...
In a previous post I was asking how to get a similar finish as a table I had seen. As suggested, I dyed the wood, sprayed a light coat of garnet shellac over the dye and then wiped on a java gel...
I've used some stuff from Lowes before that you put into paint/varnish to provide traction. It is a very fine, clear grit that you add to the liquid and then apply. It works really good.
This is...
Thought I would share some pictures of the dining table I have been working on since I have asked so many finishing questions related to it in the project finishing forum. The "concept" is from a...
Thanks for the photos. I'll have to give it a try on a smaller item sometime.
