    Much richer looking with a finish. If you like the pale, washed out look, leaving it unfinished is fine. I'd use inexpensive cabinet conversion varnish in a dull sheen.

    Maybe in a perfect world. Way to easy for lacquer to get under the tape and look like crap. Put one coat of lacquer on the panels and sand before assembling. Then spray the whole door as a unit. If...

    Built some 56" wide drawers using Blum under-mounts, no extra gimmicks. Used two knobs per drawer. They are a little binding if you tried to pull them out with one pull, but with both pulls, no...

    Like Phillip, I fill before finishing to final thickness. Planer does a great job of cutting it flush. Card scraper tends to get a thousandth or so low, as does a ROS. Flat block of wood with...

    I have a Delta 15" and a Dewalt 735. The Dewalt uses indexing holes and always comes out perfectly set with minimal effort. I use it as a finishing planer when using my 15". Not saying that you...

    They are probably going to stick up too far above the cutterhead to be right. I don't think the jack screws will go low enough. I have that jointer and use Freud 6 x 5/8 x 1/8 knives. Fairly cheap...

    Oak is cheap. Buy some straight stock. Use the warped stuff for projects that you don't need straight wood for.

    What plastic cover are you referring to? The only plastic on mine is the motor controls and switch cover, I believe.

    That looks much better now. Next time, don't be afraid to flood the dye on. If you don't have a sprayer just use a quality spray bottle that will mist evenly. Soak the surface until it is...

    I did the same thing and had the same result. It was on a walnut table and looked great after several coats of gloss. I did try and use the satin on top, but it just would not dry perfectly flat. ...

    I'm not new to finishing, but definitely not an expert either. I've gotten pretty good at finishing furniture and cabinets with varnish, CV, and pigmented CVs. I've used cheap HF guns to lay out...
