I have disassembled an oak chair and need to re-glue the spindles. I've cleaned all the old glue off. Some are a snug fit while others are loose.

What is the best way to do this? I've seen the...

Thanks all! What I've got going is bird's eye maple veneer. My plan per Jeff Hewitt is to spray tinted SealCoat for a sealer followed by Target's Optima clear waterborne gloss lacquer and polished...

I know this is probably very basic but I would like to know what type of a finish product BLO is. I've seen it mentioned for popping out grain. Thanks.

I have a Craftsman 12" band saw and if I knew what I know now I would get at least a 14" Grizzly. The Craftsman is okay but the blade issue is important. I recently had two custom blades made for...

I may be wrong here because I have never had one of the Rockler plastic squares in my hand, but as 1/8" off sounds very outrageously off, I am wondering this. . .

He mentioned that the outside...

I have a situation where I need to bond pre-formed radius stainless steel channels onto thin wood for small drawer sides. The channel fits snugly over the edge of the 1/4" thick wood parts but I...

I use Unibond 800 cold press resin and hardener. It takes two or three hours to dry in a vacuum press but it sure sticks great! Impervious to finish coats as well. About a thirty minute window...

I veneer radius corners in my press and I have used thick rubber bought from auto specialty places as a top caul to wrap the veneer around the radius as it is pulled downward over the sides. I...

I made my own also. Get an old blower from an air conditioning place and build an enclosure around it. Use pegboard for the top. I actually built a small sanding room enclosed with 2 X 4's and sheet...

I don't know what type of saw you have but I refurbished an old Craftsman table saw a few years back and one of the big improvements you can make is to install a flexible pulley belt. Most...

Roo Glue makes a glue for gluing Melamine and it works great. I ran into a similar situation for gluing wood to aluminum and I was advised to use Roo Glue. Well it works great. And I have heard it...

I've had one for a few years now and the dust collection is pretty bad to me. The design of the plastic hood lends itself to the 4" suction coming from one side of the hood while leaving a slit at...

Blair, when you say you helped with his presentation, how so? Do you have anything to do with video production? Thanks.

What exactly constitutes a humidor? In other words, what are the requirements in making one that allows it to keep the cigars fresh? Is it a special wood? Are there any plans for one?

I have a 4 X 8 bag and good pump. I had to learn the curve from scratch. I veneer bird's eye maple onto baltic birch 1/2" ply. Cold press glue. Works great. I had to invent ways to veneer around...

I'll tell you this. . . A word to the wise, as they say.

I had an idea for a woodworking invention that I made. I wrote Rockler about it and some months later they got back to me, had me sign a...

My local Menards also has some very nice looking 3/4 Baltic Birch ply. The top one isn't a keeper but the stuff under that seems very straight. I need to buy a piece and am glad I saw this post.

In a catalog I just received, Peachtree Woodworking in Georgia is offering the old style Bessey K Body clamp in an exclusive arrangement with Bessey.

This might sound silly but what grit sandpaper?

I bought some melamine Roo Glue a few weeks back but haven't used it yet. I need to bond 1/4" straight grain pine boards that have been laminated with plastic laminate on the top but left raw wood...

One Christmas I made sixteen Shaker Wall Clocks for my brother to give as presents. These were the double door type. This is where I learned to build high quality furniture on a production basis...

Yes, I do plan to use magnets to suck the door into the frame.

1/8" warp from top to bottom wouldn't be allowable in my situation. I guess I will need to depend on magnets to do a lot of the...

Along these same lines may I pose a new but similar situation to you folks?

I need to build a cabinet door 12" wide X 55" long. The base will be 1/2" birch plywood and on either side of this...

Does anybody know the going price for sanding and Varathaning wood floors? I did some a few years back but would like to know the per square foot price in various areas.

I don't have my own...

Paul, I knew a Tom Greathouse in Alameda, California some years ago. Any relation?
