Thanks for all the feedback. That's kind of what I thought. I guess I'll be building a router bridge.
Thanks again.

I'm planning a plywood project and I have a question. I'll be going for the look of the desk in the blog post that I'm going to link to. My question is this: Once I get the panels glued up and...
This may be true but I sure can't do it. Switching back to maple tomorrow. There's starting to be a chance that I'm going to run out of time. Yeesh.
Does this mean I will have to apply both A and B again or only B?
Yeah, that looks complicated. You should see the plans for the tractor though.
Maybe, but I'm pretty much committed to the poplar this time around.
Well, I'm probably going to start learning how to do that today so we'll see what happens. If it doesn't work I guess I'll be looking for another option.
Thanks. My dead line is August 10th so two weeks is pretty doable.
Today I did some initial milling...

I'm building (or at least trying to build) this truck out of this pile of poplar. Today I milled the parts down to about 1/8" over thickness. How long should I let them sit before I mill them down to...
Picked up poplar today. Starting this all over on Monday.
Finally getting back to this project. Starting to think this hard maple is just plain too hard for me to work with. What could I use that is softer but will have a similar look when I'm done?
The bleach has arrived!
Is it black like that all the way through?

I just noticed Sheldon's suggestion of Krylon spray. That might be just the thing for this project. Thanks.
I ordered the two part bleach today. Looking forward to it's arrival so I can try it out on some scrap.
Thanks for the tip on the water borne finishes, Scott. Any specific recommendations?
It will be a model truck of the Toys And Joys variety. It will sit inside on a shelf most likely with a gel poly finish on it.
I'd like to bleach some hard maple and get it as white as I can. Has anyone done this? Can anyone point me to a good tutorial?
Thanks.

It's been a couple of years since I've turned anything, even longer since I've visited the creek. I've been thinking about getting back into some pen turning at least and I'm wondering, is Craft...
I was just looking for a little more protection but I think I'll forgo it. I'm hoping to have this assembled and playable in a week or so, I don't want to wait 30 days!
What kind of a clear coat can I put over oil based paint?
My medium sized basement shop is about to become a small garage shop. Does anyone have plans for some good shop built mobile bases? I need to make at least a few large pieces of equipment mobile.

Is there anything I can put on the threads of light bulbs to keep them from getting stuck in the sockets?
Thanks.
I thought about that. It may be next on my list.

Finally decided to get my sanding discs organized. This is what I came up with.
