Thanks for all of the replies!

You all gave me some good ideas.

Thanks.

Hi all.

I'm thinking of replacing 5 porch posts. Right now, they're 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 squares posts. I'd like to replace them with the turned posts you can buy at Home Despot. You know, the ones...

Thanks all for your complements and suggestions.

I originally planned on using keyhole brackets but since there's no vertical sides there's no good place to put them. What I need are something...

Hi all.

I built some hexagonal shelves for my daughter and was looking for suggestions on the best way to hang them. They're all one piece and in the picture shown, they're upside down.

Yeah, I'm afraid the edges of MDF would get beat up pretty bad. Plus, I hate ripping it. My vac system still can't keep up with it. At least I wouldn't have to rout it.

Hi all, I moved my basement stairs a while back. What I did was build rough stairs with 3/4" ply measured for the future finishing with oak treads and risers so everything will be up to code.

I...

I'm building some bookshelf speakers out of MDF and I'd like to finish with a high gloss. From what I've read, I'd be well off with a 2K primer (probably a high build urethane).

Does anyone know...

Okay, I'm convinced...

I try some Watco Danish Oil.

Thanks.

Hi all!

I'm building a workbench out of maple ply. It's 36" high, 60" long and has eight drawers. I've just bought a Rockler HVLP sprayer and would love to to test it out on this thing.

My...

Thanks all!

Yes, I'm talking about my shop compressor along with a Harbor Freight purple gun that I bought based on all the good reviews (like I said, I'm new to this stuff). I've already sprayed...

I've got an HVLP spray gun which I'm just getting the hang of and I have a question...

If I've got a regulator on the compressor itself, why would I need one at the gun also?

Is this to set the...

Oh man, I never thought of that! At least it's not an exact match...

I was going to go with a sort of British racing green, but I didn't want it to look too much like a Grizzly. I'm still trying...

I finally decided to clean and paint my 1963 Delta/Rockwell 15-017 (15-077) DP. I didn't fully restore it and it's not winning any awards at the concours d'elegance, but I think it came out great....

Jay, I thought about doing the same thing, but after a lot of reading, the consensus seems to be that the HF DC doesn't have a large enough impeller or the HP to keep dust airborne in a 6" pipe.

I'm the OP of this thread and I thought I'd just add something.

The Thien baffle I built works VERY well. 5" seems to be the way to go with the Harbor Freight collector. As it is, I'm separating...

Thanks everyone!

I went ahead and used 5" metal from HD. I'm waiting for the adhesive to set up now.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Does anyone out there use 5" fittings in a Thien baffle?

I've got an HF collector and I'm making a separator with a 30 gal. can and I'm having one heck of a time finding fittings! I can't find...

Hi all, I just bought a Harbor Freight collector and am in the process of building a Thien baffle for a 30 gal. can. Eventually, I'll get the Wynn cartridge.

I was originally going to go with 4"...

Very nice! I just shot them an email.

Do you folks know if the HF dust collector has a standard diameter filter? I want to get one and put a 1 micron or smaller canister filter on it, but I don't know if they're all standard sizes.

I usually only shop at Rockler with a free shipping code. Often times, it comes out cheaper.

I don't feel that I need Blumotion. I was just asking if that's what Scott meant. I didn't know that...

Yeah, I thought about the low tech slides. I just worry about the kids yanking them out and dropping the drawer on the floor.

I saw the the Blum's at Rockler and they'd work fine, but the cost is...

I need a recommendation for drawer slides on a vanity I'm building.

The vanity is about 50" wide and is basically a 20" wide center cabinet and two 14" wide side cabinets that are 4" shallower. It...

I'm on the last few bits in building my router table and have a question about the oak trim on the top.

The top is two pieces of MDF with HP laminate. I want to trim the outside edge with oak and...

I've got a question about plate joiners.

I bought a Ryobi JM82 a while back and while it's done okay, I've found that while gluing up stuff, the stock just doesn't line up well. I have to sand...
