The color of cherry is all over the map. Some is a pale pink, some tan, some a dark pink. Some darkens considerably with both finish and age, others...not at all.
This cutting board is nothing...
You can get the Freud RP1000 and one set of knives for a similar cost as the Infinity. It's the same type of insert cutter head (aluminum, 2 knife). I'm running one in an old Delta and getting good...
The plant stand is such a small piece, it's not going to move too much. That said, anytime you capture a solid piece of wood between a frame, at some point you will run into problems (although I...
You're not going to get a very strong glue joint with a single through tenons on this. The top would be basically end grain to long grain on the legs.
You could wedge the tenon to form more of...
that's the shelf life of the resin. the catalyst lasts indefinitely.
I think their shelf life estimates are on the pessimistic side, but I keep mine in the fridge to be on the safe side.
One thing with the Festool MFT is that it will sag over time. You can run some bracing underneath the mft top to correct/prevent this. This of course gets in the way of certain clamping situations...
Depending on the building department you may or may not be able to leave it exposed. We used demilec in our addition and left it exposed on the bottom of the roof deck in the attic. The...
I don't think you'll find 13" slides. And you can't cut them down. 12" or 14" are you're only options as far as I know.
roo glue would probably work. bonds melamine like a champ.
Nice job, like the curve of the tub surround. How'd you go about bending the bottom of that? Looks like it extends into the shower stall, is that the case?
My understanding is that Trip trap is...
I have the fs-30 on a jet universal #708119.Minimax doesn't recommend their mobile base for this j/p.
I wanted to be able to pull the machine straight out from the wall and push it back in and...
you could also use a miter jack on boards of this size

The best way to cut it is with shears made specificly for the job. But you can also get blades for your circular saw, just beware of the dust. And you'll eat through the blades if you have to rip...

Nice job, the wood turned out beautiful.
How do you like that bed hardware? It's hard to tell from the pics, but is it simple two posts on top and bottom with a bolt in the middle to...
Waterlox is oil based, essentially a tung oil/varnish blend. It will probably dry to the point that you can't smell it, but after a few days I'd still coat it with shellac to be safe. That should...
For something like that you could probably make do with a jigsaw. Depnding on the curves of the paddle, I'd think a spindle sander or disk sander would be more important.
Just make a template...
I've used waterlox on pine floors before. Easy to maintain and gives it a nice look. You can order it in bulk straight from the company.
The other product you might want to check out is OSMO...
Are you backing up the work with a sacrificial fence? If you're having problems with it blowing out the back that should solve it.
I had to set my MS middle button (which is the scroll wheel) to autoscroll to get it to work.
I've used the Vacupress system and have built the joe woodworker pump. As John said Darryl is one of the best in the biz. If you can afford his system, I'd highly recommend it. I could not, which...
I've made tables similar to that. I epoxied threaded rod into the legs and used a haefle expanding nut in the top which locks in place when the leg is screwed in. Everything is holding just fine...
Very nice work, and good job dealing with the x-factor of opening up walls in old houses. It's amazing what you find in those old walls and even more amazing how little is required to really hold up...
