The best tip I ever got about gluing loose tenons in chairs was from a professional furniture repairman. He took an 1/8" drill bit and drilled from the bottom of the rung and aimed for the bottom of...

First item is a huge air compressor. Sandblasting is like cutting the end off the hose and wanting the compressor to keep up. So many people think waiting for a compressor is not a big deal, but when...

Boiled linseed oil will actually promote mold growth, because it's made from flax seed. That is of course if they haven't added a mildewcide in it.

"I would avoid name brand stuff, brand new, coming from China."
This is what you said, and I am saying genuine SKF comes from China. I don't understand how my statement is not appropriate. It may be...

I suggest you stretch what you have. Make some shop made veneer and you can have all the book matched you want.

It might be since that looks like 1940 technology they copied. But in my experience, first generation Taiwanese machinery was not know as high quality. All they were was cheap with poor tolerances,...
