Thanks for the advice, Mark. The acetone did the trick. I'm embarrassed to mention how much gunk came out of the hose when I shot the acetone. It certainly gives me peace of mind for tomorrow when...
Thanks guys. I'll try the acetone. I filter everything so that shouldn't be causing the issue. I'm guess it's material that's dried on the inside of the hoses, gun, or intake tube in the pressure...
I only spray water based finishes, the vast majority of which come from Target Coatings. I do occasionally spray some water based acrylic from SW. The last couple of times I've sprayed my clear...
Scott, I've never sprayed dye or stain, I've always wiped it on and off. How much will spraying affect the absorption of the pigment?
Scott, what album are you referring to?
Was the transtint mixed with water or dna?
For the past year or so I've used Charles Neil's blotch control product as a prestain conditioner. While I've been relatively pleased with the results, on larger projects it adds a substantial...
Thanks guys. Mike, the design was mine in as much as anyone can claim an original design. I spend a lot of time looking at other cabinetry on-line and in magazines and try and take some inspiration...
Awesome work Pat. Are those slanted pieces at the front of the cabinet in pic #2 "ramps" to slide the bottle into place? BTW, I used to live in Kitchener, and then Ayr, it's been a long time since...
Dave, that's probably the case. With that in mind some of the stuff that gets done on that show, if that is the target audience, is almost unconscionable for most woodworkers. The last time I...
I was somewhat hamstrung by client demands for the size of the hutch as they wanted something that big. While it looks out of proportion in the photos it doesn't feel that way when you see it in...
I wrapped this up a couple of months ago. Altogether the unit is approx. 8' wide by 8.5' tall. Setting the hutch in place was pretty nerve wracking. The hutch has a beaded faceframe while the desk...
If you're applying the bead after the fact you may want to recess it approx. 1/32" so that you don't hit the bead with the sander as you're sanding the face frame down. You don't really have that...
I've had the LV beading tool for a little over a year and have used it on a couple of projects, the most recent of which was a shield for my son which not only had mulitiple curved edges but also had...
Thanks. The shield and the sword are approx. 30" in length. He'll get a work out carrying the shield around for sure. My son is 9 and we've got another that's only 4, so when the older one out...
I had some time between jobs so my son and I worked on these for when he invades Narnia. The shield has a slight curve to it. I dressed it up a bit by adding a bead around the edge. The handle on...
I did the same as Eiji for a long time as well. I had to make 40+ doors this summer and I ended up buying Rockler's jig to do the hinges. It worked great and was incredibly fast...well worth the...
I'd echo Peter's suggestions. Applying a panel and mitering the corner of the ff is exactly what I've done in the past.
Without getting into a name brand war I think there are some manufacturers that provide consistently excellent results. With that said I think that people that have had an issue with something are...
Glen, glad I'm here to keep you entertained ;). Stephen, thanks for the laugh. Your comment got me thinking about the dumbest thing I've done in the shop. This would certainly be up there on the...
I wish I could, they're getting sharpened. I probably won't have them back until next week.
I ordered some new knives from Scott at Holbren for my 8" jointer. I received them today and when I opened the package I realized I had only ordered three instead of the four that I needed. Well,...
Thanks guys, I tracked him down and sent my stuff off this morning.
Gene, that's the same guy I've used in the past. When was the last time you sent him something?
I used to have a fellow member here, Scott Whiting, do my sharpening. I'm not sure if he's no longer running his business or not but I haven't had any luck getting in touch with him. Does anyone...
I have to make approximately 20 doors/panels that will have curved applied moulding. I typically get my applied moulding from a local supplier. I haven't checked on price with them yet but I...
