I do have better luck searching Google than on any sites search engine.

The plan is to use for metal yes, one of my co-workers is a blacksmith hobbyist (knives mainly) and he mentioned it...

That was the one, thank you, I should have searched the entire site but I have really only been frequenting the turners forum so I thought is was here.

I thought I saw in this forum someone made a very nice homemade sander, and would share the plans. I searched and can't find it again. I was aluminum and there was information on the wheels, motors...

If I sand any 2 part epoxy resin without taking precautions I will get a severe rash on my face, around my eyes mainly, takes about 2 weeks for it to go away. I take precautions now that I know this.

3/8" is pretty good for a box that size, I think the picture doesn't really do it justice, its a small box with 3/8" thick sides, maybe could have gone 1/4" but that makes it hard to mount hinges and...

Your Grandfather would be very proud, as should everyone else!

Awesome, I'm sure he will love it, especially when teething and he chews the top rail! My 3 girls all chewed on their crib.

Can't stress enough to be sure the tap and drill bit is sharp! With that CI is easy.

I used Helmsman spar urethane, wiped with BLO first. I will look for pictures, but the table has a lot of depth and irredesence to it. So far not a mark on it other than the dents from the rivets on...

I'm looking to build a jewelry box with a panel to hang necklaces on, I want the panel to slide back into the box cavity, but when extended all the way out it would clear the front of the box and...

I was in the same place a year ago, (you can probably search my thread) I made a kitchen table out of pine to match our cabin interior style. I asked here and a few other forums and was steared...

An easy to pick up LED light is a Coleman found at nearly any store, incuding Walmart. They have the "CREE" LED I believe and are super bright, they have several models and the brightest I think I...

I'm bummed, I can't see the pictures for some reason? Anyone have an idea, I see every other threads pictures? I'm gettitng the box with red X in it.

I know I was never a recognized name here, just posted a few projects and commented on many of your incredible creations. Just wanted to say I am ready to fire up the power equipment for the first...

I went with the general concensus of using a softer finish for the soft wood. Used a spar varnish and it turned out nice, with the exception of a few dust nibs or crytals that seemed to come from...

No its not fine quality furniture, sort of a rustic cottagy picnic thing, but I do want the work I put into it to turn out nice and last a while. I will look for some spar.
Here is a quick photo...

He did suggest a spar, as did Howard, I think, it was over a few cocktails.

He also mentioned the enviro-seal, he offered me a gallon he has, that might be fine for a bar top, but not this...

Howard, I think I'm with you on using a softer finish, a buddy who has finished wood all his life said the same thing and it really makes sense.

So what to use? I have been to nearly every...

Cost aside, would it be better to use just the behlens, so it soaks in and make the surface harder than just the behlens over the shellac?

It is eastern white pine, (I think). I was thinking if...

I built a kitchen table this weekend out of pine. Not the best choice I know, but it is for a cabin with two nights a week use at best, and it fits the decor. (And that's what I was told to use, if...

I'm in please.

Looks like some nice solid benches, exactly what is required for accurate reloading. Post the finished photos when you can.

I've dealt with patents, infringements and lawsuits. I'm not a lawyer, just dealt with this at work. Patents barely hold any water and can easily be worked around from everything we've seen. ...

Ken congats!

I didn't read all the posts here, so it may be in there, but I wanted to mention to make sure to see your service advisor at the VA hospital nearest to you. There may be benefits...

As far as grounding conductors go, this static string has been very useful, moreso then a bare wire even on some very challenging static issues we needed to solve at work. www.stopstatic.com
