Wow! beautiful work.
Mike: That looks good to me. As long as both are pretty much the same you are golden. I traced the curve of the arm on to the top of the sides and fitted to the under side of the arm. That arm...
Finally back at the Chair!

Quietly the wrapped parts have been sitting for two years in a corner waiting for me to work my way through a move, new shop (and tools!) and assorted "more...
Kelly: I've been quiet for over a year with a move and new shop to set up as well as other more pressing projects. I've also finished the stools and am part way through chair. Time to get back at...
My friend has a in-house sauna with a solid Cedar door. He wants to stain the outside very dark to match the other wood surfaces and leave the inside bare. I don't want to put a film type finish on...
Sounds very interesting, I'm looking forward to see how you incorporate the live edge. Just on the arms or the legs too, what is your plan?
Dean:
I've done a number of projects with spindles and my practice is to sand and finish all the spindles and the members with the mortises prior to assembly. I gang sand, stain and clear coat...
Pictures of my progress so far. I'm building 2 chairs and 2 ottomans and did the ottomans first, photos show them stained and ready for the cushions. I prefer more of a mission style so have...
Hello, since there seems to be some activity I will jump in too. I found this thread years ago but finally started my chair and ottoman this year. I did the ottomans first, so I could test joinery...
Howie: This section of counter is the "working area" very near the wood stove at our cottage. So I would guess that heat (the pots may be warm but not really hot) and moisture are definitely in play...
I have a maple butcher block style counter top that is finished in 100% Tung Oil (from Lee Valley). If any of the copper bottomed pans are left in contact with the surface for any length of time...
I've had my nova for several months after going through much the same thought process you have. I built a stand with drawers (shop space for tools is a consideration) and space for gravel/sand as...
Thanks for the input. Thinking about this last night and I've done lots of "flatwork" projects with urethane finishes without problem. Humidity and condensation aren't really a problem. The flooring...
I am having some 1x4 Doug Fir flooring milled for installation in my cottage and I am seeking recommendation on how to finish. We want as natural a look as possible but a slight tint is OK. The real...
Hello: I've been lurking for a few months while I have been taking a turning course at a local retailer. I'm new to turning but enjoy it alot, during the course I was able to turn a couple bowls, a...
Me too. Thanks Reed
Bill: that link was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks alot.
Dennis
Steve: That is exactly the same belt sander I have. Could you post a photo?

Hello, I am new to turning and have been lurking on the forum for a month or so. The amount on knowledge shared here is incredible, I encourage other lurkers to contribute as I did, a great bargain....
I am fortunate enough to have a LV store in my city and I stop there at least twice a week (I have TBD - tool buying disorder). The bevel up planes are a thing of beauty to look at and to use, I got...
The bucket method by David B works really well. I don't bother with the wire, I just half fill the bucket and put a smear of peanut butter a couple inches down from the edge on the inside. Place a...
Dennis: I have used the LV guide and saw for a couple of years now and I have had great success. I would recommend that the guide be used with the saw in the set since the set of the saw matches...
