Malcolm, glad to hear Grizzly was responsive to the problem and helped you get it sorted out quickly. A certain Italian made saw is well known for failed start switches, and a whole lot less...

Clorox. Look up the correct ratio for killing mold and spray the boards with it. Live ash trees have about 40% moisture, the lowest of any native tree, I believe. Standing dead with no bark is...
If you want the final color to be the same as white oak then you will be very limited in options. I can't think of anything besides white ash, as Jim mentioned. It has a sort of similar grain and...
If it isn't sealed within about 3 days cracks will form. You may not see the cracks until much later, but they are there, so sealing afterwards won't get rid of them. Yes, sealing later still slows...
You can't fall off a ladder if you don't go up one. You might consider hunting from the ground.

Sealing the ends is effective only on fresh wood, cut no more than 3 days prior. The only way for that to help now would be to cut back the "logs" the OP has by at least 6" on each end, more if the...
There are plenty of quality paints, Mel. The waterborne acrylics and urethanes are amazing, and more than up to the task. Pro quality paint designed for use on interior stair treads will give a...
Let it sit in CA for another year or two. If you just have to transport it this year, I would dense stack it, wrap it in Tyvek, cover it with a layer of plywood, and band it all down tight. When it...
What William and Izzy said. Saw it now, as soon as possible, to reduce end checking. It's already (too) short so you can't afford cracks.

Oh, I didn't know the price was going to go up. IIRC, right now it's $175 to upgrade from V-Carve Pro to the new version. Any idea what the price will be after 4/30? There's probably enough new...
I don't know if they are compatible, but floor finish is what you want, something like Bona HD Traffic. Whatever you choose, it needs to be a waterborne to be compatible with paint you have on there...
I get 21,450 bf using the Doyle scale for 50 logs at 18" at the small end and 35 ft long. Yep, lotta lumber, but if your trees are that size, that's what you'll get, possibly more because the Doyle...
Love the case and your workmanship, Mike. Sorry, but IMO the prison window grid and the purpleheart detract from an otherwise great piece.
John
Yes, of course.

If you sign up with Pirate Ship (which is free to do) shipping costs generally are half or less of USPS or UPS. Pay for the shipping at home, including insurance if you want, print out the label,...
It looks like those radiused corners are separate pieces of wood. If so, and if all the damage is to one of them, I would pull it out and install a new piece. You can replicate the profile, pretty...
Yes, occasionally, I will loan a tool to a friend. And that reminds me that one of my woodworking friends has had a couple of router bits so long that both of us have forgotten, until now.

I have the Bosch ROS65VC because it was the lowest cost of those I considered higher end sanders. I have not been disappointed, flawless finish. It has great balance with the 6" pad, but is not as...
Yep, that would be a challenge if you work alone. Congratulations on seeing it through. I'm sure there were a few moments when it seemed like you had bit off far too much.
Do you get free...
Derek, you are a gifted builder of jigs. You should build one of my horizontal router mortisers. It will change your way of woodworking with regards to mortising, and so much more.

I suspect your equipment is better than most, Brian. I read all the time on here about problems people have with chisel mortisers. Most hobbiests have bench top units, which seem pretty light duty...
There's no need to make integral tenons unless you want to make exposed through tenons. Loose tenons work just as well for nearly every project and that eliminates the need for a chisel mortiser. A...
Several accessories were made for the Dewalt 925 RAS. There was a molding head guard, for sure. The right end of the motor arbor is threaded, and I suspect there must have been a chuck that fit...
He's missing a digit on his left hand. Perhaps that's what you meant. If not, he did it anyway.

When I get so thin sanding veneer on my double drum sander that I'm worried about the sanding belts hitting the conveyor, I put a sled under the veneer with a fence at the back. Nothing else. It...
