I re-started it with some additional questions, and asking for clarifications. I thought that made more sense then starting a whole new thread.

That is what the panty hose is for - I had read about using panty hose over a "lint free rag" (aka old t-shirt) and never understood what the panty hose was for.

Can I resurrect this old thread? I'm looking for lint free cloths for applying a wipe on finish-like Waterlox, or Minwax wipe on poly. Typically I have bought those white rags - and the finish is not...

Hi Scott,

yeah I get that heat treating will work, but I worry about it not working long term. I am not very prolific woodworker, and I don't have an interior space to store this wood. So it is...

Well, I got a quote from a pest control specialist. He said $900 to fumigate. I think that is their minimum. I need to load it into a truck, drive truck to them. They will then seal & tarp truck,...

Thanks for all the tips. It sounds like that fumigation method is the simplest, and probably cheapest method. I just wonder if it gets deep enough into the wood. It sounds like the Bora Care shjould...

Great Idea, thanks!

REsurrecting this thread - I have some Red Oak from a large tree I cut down in my yard. It has been air drying for over two years now. I'm slowly starting to use it in some projects. I have two...

Sam - that Watco exterior, does it go on just as easily as the regular interior watco? I've loved that stuff for the look on furniture, and for it's ease of application.

Howie - Wow, I just read...

Michael, I remember you asked for pics of toys made...I've made a few but don't have many photos. I'm trying to take more. But going through my photos for something else, and I came across this one...

Has anyone used this product? One-Time Wood Protector? It all sounds too good to be true...

I've got a exterior door with an oak threshold (in retrospect I should have used mahogany). Anyway the...

if flatsawn is the way to go, I guess I should go with the basswood. I don't need any grain to show, the block will show plenty of grain. it is just getting a clear finish. the veneer shape I think...

I thought maple did not take stain well at all? When having some floors refinished-my flooring guys recommended against staining maple, as he said it did not absorb it well at all.

The place...

Not sure if this is right branch of the forum...but here goes(please re-direct me if I've got it wrong)

I'm making some toys for my son. One of the books I'm using has these blocks that are sort...

I'm still waiting on parts I ordered last November. I got one out of the 4 parts I ordered. So maybe some of the parts are shipping, but not all. I'd say I am turned off enough to never buy a Delta...

Hi Mark,

First I applaud the effort of building your own kitchen. it is a big job, and can be quite daunting. But it sounds like you are quite patient, and are taking yoru time to study it and...

YEs. +1 or whatever else will get me another way to measure something. It is important to know how far off my cut is.

thanks....

anyone use those - zero clearance inserts from infinity cutting tools - http://www.infinitytools.com/SawStop-Zero-Clearance-Throat-Plate-With-Two-Inserts/productinfo/100-335/

I was thinking of...

I wouldn't glue the sandpaper down, it will be a pin in the butt to remove it afterwards. Try using wet/dry sandpaper. Spray the surface of the granite or thick glass with a water spray bottle. Put...

I would second the - "Don't buy Delta" mantra.
I got a Delta Drill press last November. It was missing a couple minor parts. I can still use it, but it is not right. I called the local service...

I'd suggest a transition piece. Even though you want to run the flooring the same direction, it is highly likely that there will be a discrepancy somewhere, that is easily hidden in a transition...

I thought the reason Beech was used for biscuit or loose tenons is that it swelled when gluing up?

I've got the Makita, and have been happy with it. yes it doesn't have the riving knife...but it has not been an issue for me. The way I understand it the blade is actually canted a tiny bit, so that...

Hey Marco,
I'm having trouble following what you are describing, can you post some photos?
also Why do you put a thin layer of glue on miter joint first?
