Terrific info Prashun! I forgot about BLO's slow drying, which would probably be an issue on a sign that sees weather.

Thanks for explaining Jim. I presume if a DC was higher suction it would require better sealing and therefore more HP for the same diameter wheel?
Well, I played around with quite a few combos, and will give some brief feedback here on what highlights rays well.
1) Formby's Tung Oil (wiping varnish) did nothing since it doesn't have pigment....
Still milling this over...
Do any manufacturers sell just the blowers? I'd hate to buy a $400 dc unit just to have them ship the entire thing for me to scrap it.
Any word on experiences...
Well, I've made an address sign on my carvewright using a nicely figured piece of QSWO.
Like most, I want the rays to be quite prominent. The sign will hang outside, so the topcoat will be oil...
Charlie, I like your philosophy. If I was a turner I'd probably have utter hate for strike throughs since they can't be rehandled as easily with cooler handles. That said, I do like working with...
Thanks for the reply derek. Many of those debates you mentioned were other smaller issues I'm reading up on, but frankly I'm having a little difficulty getting past this one. When I go back to my...
Rick, sounds like you could use a refresher on screws. Here ya go, this link defines them pretty well.

Thanks for the replies. Just FYI i'm not trying to ruffle feathers, just looking at it from an open minded POV and not seeing the logic.
Derek/Glenn, you don't have to use a steel hammer with a...
I have began using more hand tools in my hobby and have been considering upgrading my stanley 16-300 strike-through chisels. I'm sure their steel is somewhat inferior, but frankly outside of steel...
I believe spax is a type of production screw. That said using a taper bit with a non-tapered screw doesn't seem right.
I've always preferred production screws over the traditional wood screws, but understand they still have some ornamental uses. I'm just curious if most here also prefer production screws for general...
Steven, that post helped a TON. Unforunately it also induced a ton of buyer's remorse since you clearly outdid me on the research of this setup.:)
Based upon your post i may pick up that Penn...
This is the cyclone:

I'm just going to hang the "2hp" HF DC motor above it and...
I'm just wondering if I hooked up my 2.5" shop vac stuff if the DC would be a superior vacuum? I would presume so, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't some detail I missed.
Amen. ...
More "Vacuum" Questions
5) Could the DC function effectively as a floor sweep if necked down to 2.5" (or whatever)? I'm not sure I fully understand the DC vs vacuum relationship. I know DC is...
Greg, it's not much of a "network", just machine->flex hose(8'-10')->drop to floor(5')->cyclone(3')->impeller(2')->out(3') I may add one wye/blast gate for a floor sweep or vacuum, but basicly no...
Well, I've decided to go with the HF "2hp" motor connected to the "eastcaroga" cyclone with venting outside for my DC setup. I'm a weekend hobbyist, and understand it's not a perfect setup, but it's...
I think the remote switch would just be easier from both an install and convenience point of view.
Re: the air circulation, that is an interesting point since my garage is heated. Wouldn't the...
This thread has been incredibly helpful!!
The new plan is to buy the HF "2hp" dust collector and mount just the blower over the "eastcaroga" cyclone you can find on eBay, connected via 5" hose. ...
Bryan, I was tossing around the idea of chopping up a better collector to get it in a wall config. Great post!!
Do you know off hand who sells the tightest (lowest micron rating) bag that will...
I've been looking to add dust collection to my severly space limited shop. Basically a 20x20 garage that I'd like to get 2 cars into when not woodworking.
I'm confident I need a wall-mounted...
The top is only about 17" x 13", and the sapele is in 2 pieces, each about 13" x 9". The thickness is .44" Do I have any options?
Is the glue surface so large that it'll definitely create...
I'm planning to build some nightstands with approx 18" x 18" tops. I have some bookmatched pieces of quartersawn Sapele 0.44" thick I'd like to use for them. What i'm planning to do is glue them...
I want to apologize for asking up front. I know this info is out there and I'm having a little trouble assimilating it, so I'll ask directly. I read flexner's finishing book so I can talk shop on...
