Hi.
I have a project that requires bloodwood thicker than I have. What is better to glue this up with? Regular wood glue or a polyurethane adhesive?
Thanks

Sad to hear that about ash. I built a kitchen out of it about 20 years ago and it was beautiful wood. I will check to see if my supplier stocks it. Thanks for the info.
I want to build a Rocking Horse for someone special for Christmas and was planning to use some Walnut pieces I have for the trim and Maple for the body. Question is, is hard or soft Maple preferable....

Well, since I moved to the new digs, I am finally making sawdust again.
LOML wanted a new DVD cabinet/room divider. Since the back will be showing, I decided to do a raised panel wainscot look.

Thanks Jim,
Another few questions. If I go with the alchohol and spray, will that give me a better result than the water based?
Also, I have never used shellac. When you say dewaxed, I assume...
I am building a project out of hard Maple and need some advice. I would like to mimic the color of my kitchen cabinets which is best as I can describe, a cinnamon color. I have never used dyes...
Since we moved into our new digs, LOML would like me to build a few rustic benches to put in the woods behind the house. She would like a thick seat with maybe the natural bark on the edge, and no...
Thanks. I shot the table and it came out fine. Dried VERY fast, even with sone retarder added.
I need to shoot a table and I normally do it outdoors. The temperature today is supposed to be in the 50's with low humidity. Is this too cold to shoot lacquer?
And another thank you to SMC.
I have a fairly new Delta Contractor saw, which I recently upgraded with the "Lowes Special $80 Biesemeyer fence". I have been reading the posts about link belts and...
Thanks for the info. I was getting ready to buy a propane heater for my basement shop, but I like this idea a lot better.
Craig,
I normally use the 3/4" pipe clamps with black iron pipe. I have had no issues gluing up 6' pieces. You don't need to put a lot of pressure on the wood. Just enough to squeeze out a little...
Thanks for all the replies. I used to use Yukon Lumber when I lived in Chesapeake. I also found thier wood to be sub-par. The guy at the local Woodcraft here in Roanoke also recommended Wurth. Guess...
Does anyone know of any hardwood dealers near Roanoke VA? I recently moved to the area and the closest dealer I could find on Woodfinder was about 60 miles away. (Thats if you don't count Woodcraft,...
Thanks Chris. I like to be neat. When I wired my last garage, the inspector just stood there and shook his head. He said he never saw such a neat job even from the professional contractors he...
A friend picked it up for me at Costco. I think it was around $55. Money well spent.

I am wiring a sub panel for my new shop. I did this before (about 15 years ago), but I just plain forgot this one. :confused::confused::confused: The sub will be 220 Volt, with 2 hots, a ground and a...
Well, as I reported a while back, moved into our new house. The shop will be in the garage which is under the house, about 20 X 30 feet. As you can see, I have a lot of work to do :D:D:D:D:D:

I heard these sanders really stink. I'll be glad to take it off your hands, no charge for the disposal.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Seriously, nice sander..
Thanks to all. I am probably going to build a unit on one of the long walls, and also something around 3X6' for a combination outfeed/assembly table.
Wow - fantastic bench. I think I can use some of your concepts.
I will be moving into my new house next week and obviously, the first thing I have to do is organize the shop.:D :D :D
Therefore I need to build a new workbench on one of the walls. It will be...
You will like it. I have planed a lot of wood with mine and it never dissapoints. You will definetly need some kind of dust collector. When I first got mine I used it with a shop vac. Amazing how...
