Oh, thank you very much, Stephen!
I'm about to add couple of work benches to my home workshop. Currently I have used linseed oil which seems to have work nicely, even protected from stain and...
.... season 08 (1996) Chapter 4 - Long Table.
Near the end of the video he said he put 7 coats of ______ oil, prior to waxing and buffing the table.
What oil did he use?
Thanks in advance
Yes, I supposed that too.
But with my spray gun, if I go too far from the object the spray mist doesn't have enough power to sit in there. It has to be 6" to 8" distance in order to work fine, may...
Hi,
I'm new to spray finishes, but I have sprayed a few projects already with good results.
I have a 6gal compressor that supposedly gives like 7.5 SCFM with 2.5HP, the made in china type.
My...
Thank you very much for these recommendations! :)
Are there any other good online stores for woodworking supplies?
I learned about Harborfreight.com about a couple months ago which is good enough and afforable, very chinese too, but good.
Some...
What a great idea!! :)
I'll try this first, with a whole just to fit the router, so I can do it up to the size of a plate later if I don't like it.
So, well, the more I use my router, the more I don't like it.
I have a small Makita 3606, just that one.
The one thing I don't like, is that the locking mechanism, the one that helps to lock...
I was thinking in doing that too, at least to try it.
But I'm not sure how much of the router depth will the 3/4" laminate eat.
Hi,
I'm building my own router table.
For the plate, I'm going to get a piece of thick acrylic and drill all the needed wholes.
Well, if I ever want to get a factory made router plate, I'd...
Thank you all for your response.
Well, yes, you save me from an embarrassing moment at the home depot! :)
Yes, I wear ear protection, actually, I wasn't aware about all those sounds until I...
Hi,
I've just had a thread about circular saw, and here I come again, sorry.
Well, I bought it like a week ago, and I've just made my first cuts today.
(Black and Decker CS1020)
I know it...
And now, here is a girl showing how to correctly hold the saw, according to the manual:

Though, as I was complaining about, it only works for small...
Thanks a lot for your comments.
I have a further question. I understand what a kickback is and why it happens, but what I don't know is exactly what is the behavior of the saw being kickbacked.
I...
With the risk of reinventing some that already exists, I came out with a sort of jig to put on top of my bench work, so I don't worry about the cutoff piece falling down, nor the circular saw falling...
That's what I say!
At homedepot it was just one expensive Dewalt model with the motor on the left side.
But I also think that would much easier to cut with a saw that way.
I'm trying to...
You almost make me run to home depot to return it! :confused:
Most wood suppliers here offers free cutting service, so I can go with my cut plan and get all my pieces already cut.
I just need a...
But this only works for thin panels, right?
Again, you can only go as far as your arms + your column...
or
If you're on the left side of the saw and in front of the work, then you're using the...
Well, yeah, that's my secondary fear: the legs.
If I manage to hold the circular saw with both hands, so no risks for the hands, but if at the end of the cut, I just can't correctly hold the saw...
I've just got one, a hand circular saw, and never used one before.
I read all the manual, yes I read it.
And the most important safety and usage points about this specific (hold it) I read were:...
I think I'm going to buy a good roto-orbital sander, first.
Then, get a cheap 5" polisher at autozone, for $30, and see how long does it last.
Then, now I think it is varnish :)
Either alkyd or phenolic, one of these.
Now, I have to check how to remove varnish, because the few references I have now, non give a straight answer or...
Well, I'll try to find hide glue locally.... if I can't find it, I'd had to go with the yellow glue.
Thank you very much to everybody for your comments! :)
Hi,
I'm in the task of refinishing a very old sewing machine cabinet, well, like 40 years old, may be is not "that old" in furniture terms.
The thing has so much scratches like if two cats had...
