I purchased the Craftsman Dual Motion Sander, Model 315.22462, Serial #6626, back in the early 70's.

During one of over 22+ Military and Civilian moves, the manual was lost. Now I'm ready to...

Hi Jim,
You posted while I was writing so missed your comment earlier. Your suggestion is similar to Scott's. I think I understood the term "shim" better than "feet". Are you talking about the...

Thanks to all. Special thanks to Tim who explained the mechanics of why the table is unstable on carpet. I used scrap walnut and made 2 sets of shims (1/4" & 3/8"). Tested 3/8" set on my carpet...

Although not seen well in these pictures, the bottom "cross beam" extends through the slab leg.

Thanks for everyone's response. I went with an amber GF finish (4 coats) and the table looks great. Now, however, I have a wee bit of a problem. My completed walnut slab coffee table is 2" x 13.5"...

A huge thank you to everyone who responded. I appreciate all the suggestions/opinions very much. In the end I have decided to leave the walnut unstained as many suggested. I plan to post a picture...

I love natural (unstained) walnut! I have a walnut slab for a coffee table with gorgeous grain that unfortunately has irregular and non-continuous sapwood. I am planning to use Charles Neil's Blotch...

Thanks for your response. Ordinarily I would plan to do this; however, the turned leg is not going through the top slab or the bottom bar so the wedge you suggest won't work for me. My neighbor is...

Hi everyone,

I'm working on my first slab project that will be a coffee table. One side will have a slab leg that is already mortised in (dry fit). There will be a "bar" on the floor parallel...

A bit late to weigh in perhaps, but I recently saw a program on "Our State" about a gentleman who makes turned bowls. He finishes them with, of all things, super glue. His name is Jim McPhail. ...

That looks wonderful. Hope I can do as well. What are the overall dimensions?

That's really cool. I now remember seeing those in old furniture. I found something similar at www.montereyshelf. I emailed them but they didn't answer my main question--HOW MUCH!! Still thinking. ...

Oh, and by the way, these will all be behind closed doors. I have also considered just screwing 1/2" x 1/2" x cabinet depth" strips x # of shelves to hold the shelving. I just thought screwing in...

Thanks, Jamie. If I can't find what I want, I am considering the shelf standards that are also available at Lowes.

To clarify, I'm really looking for simple wood strips approximately 3/4" wide,...

Hi All,
I have some beautiful raised panel maple doors from a kitchen and I am planning to make a large (and long) TV stand with storage cabinets (with my very limited tools) for my daughter. She...

My large 8 1/2 ft. Mahogany front door cannot be removed to refinish. When it was first installed, the painter slopped a single coat of Spar Varish from Lowe's on it. The varnish has broken down...
