Thanks Jay. I think your a few seasons short. I think this took me 5 seasons to finish.

Thanks Jay. I think your a few seasons short. I think this took me 5 seasons to finish.
There is quite a bit of space behind the sink because of the form of the sink, it has a bend in it and its an undermount. That strip of concrete I did put a crack in it and thats because after I...
As Dave said above, the process is pretty easy. Build the form, I used rebar around any openings for the sink and cooktop. After 4-5 days take them out, they are really smooth if you vibrated the...
There is no vent over the Island and there hasn't been any problems. It would have cost too much to tear into the ceiling or vent it down and out the basement and tear that ceiling out. I figured...
177544177543177542177541177540177539After starting this project 16 months ago I have finally finished my kitchen refacing. Added the double oven cabinet, new island and the concrete countertops. I...
Refacing my kitchen and the doors right now have 3 hinges per door. They are 42 inches. Do I really need 3 or will 2 work. Looking to install the Silentia soft close that Rockler carries. They...
Going to redo the kitchen doors, what is the best substrate for veneering the panels with? Is it MDF or a birch ply or something else.
After looking more at the link belt, it is hard as a rock and not very flexible. Is this normal or I just need to buy a new one.
Thanks for the help, will try to clean it tonight.
I have a General 260 with the riser block. Of course I can't find my manual right now.
Ok I will try that. But in the future how would I replace a belt. Does anything have to be removed from the headstock or around the motor.
I have an older General and the twist belt started slipping. I am looking to replace it somehow. I have no idea where to start. If I can use just a normal belt, what do I have to do or take out to...
Thanks everyone. Got them latexed last night. All pieces have different levels of spalting started. I cut into the dryest one and its still pretty hard in the center. When I do start turning them...
Frank I definately can see your point. I got this wood off of Craigslist. They were just cutting down a tree. I didn't even have to cut anything. I find myself looking for free wood everywhere. ...
Its maple and some has a little spalting in it. The tree was dying so the wood isn't really wet as far as I can tell. I was going to latex the ends for now. I just need my new chuck to get...
David Marks has another method, if you look at DIY for his coopered hall table, he does a copper patina using 3 chemicals. You heat the copper and pad on the chemicals. I have done this and its...
The DNA would be for bowls and other things. Just looking down the road. Its a little hard to find decent green wood in Denver but I'm going to try. Thanks for the responses, lot of good ideas.
Thanks, I will definately save myself $40 for now.
I have been lurking here for quite a while, bought a lathe about 2 years and have finally built the last piece of my bedroom set. I am burnt out of flat work and ready for the addiction. Now to the...
Well you guys are probably too nice but thanks for your comments. I did get more tear out then I expected and of course not all is as perfect as I hoped. I need to take more time with the small...
Forgot picture of the wall cabinet.
More pics, I had a hard time getting good pictures and the flash showing.
Working on the dresser now. This project hasn't gone too bad for me. I searched many hours for ideas and finally found a wall cabinet I had to build and then designed everything around that. I...
Excellent detail and finish. I have wanted to build one but the cost of the lift has held me back.
I have some christmas cash and I am looking to buy the Jamieson rig. Are there specific cutters I should buy or is the Master Jamieson rig all I need or is there other cutters and bars that are...
