    With some of the lighter colors I've had success doing as you suggest, but anything with a darker color has always streaked. It wasn't horrible, but still bad enough to bother me. It happened to a...

    Arm R Seal is a top coat, you wouldn't want to use it to seal your transtint. Seal A Cell is probably a better choice than shellac as it won't move the dye, Transtint is alcohol soluble. The purpose...

    I would just go buy a gallon of distilled water at the grocery store. It only costs about a buck and it sounds like it would go a long way. If you used the stuff from your dehumidifier, I would worry...

    Well since your in AL I assume most of your clearing will be pine trees. I'd find a local pulpwooder to cut as much timber as you can get them to take, and then you can push up the stumps and burn...

    I assumed a dam would not be possible because he referred to the area as completely flat and low. I think he would just be digging a hole in a wet area and allowing the groundwater to fill the pond....

    How deep will the pond be and where in Alabama are you located. Based on your comment regarding the area being wet in the winter, I suspect you will not be able to dig the pond with a dozer or a...

    Believe it or not, lumber prices fluctuate constantly as do any other commodity. If you want constant, posted prices, you will pay more as the supplier would have to build in fluff to account for...

    I buffed some a few weeks ago with some automotive machine glazing compound and a drill. You can't really get any more gloss but it does give it a nice smooth feel. Of course a paper bag and and some...

    I need some advice on a spray gun or turbine system whichever may be the case. I had a cheap HVLP turbine unit from the big box that I was able to get a decent finish from until I couldn't stop it...

    You might want to apply a coat of platina or superblonde before the garnet. It will help prevent any blotching.

    The BLO/Varnish/MS mixture would most certainly not be a good finish for kitchen cabinets. It offers little protection from moisture, spills, etc.

    If you're going to spray it, I wouldn't think regular shellac would have any effect on your grain fill. I wouldn't try to brush it on though.

    Forrest doesn't have the 30mm arbor blades on thier website, but they will bore them for you, just call and ask. I think it's $20 or $30 per blade. I'm sure they would bore out your existing blades...

    I think the Lie-Nielsen screwdrivers are made for specifically for working on planes. There's not much of a selection.

    And I agree, the Craftsman screwdrivers thouroughly suck.

    I've fumed QSWO using the 10% janitorial ammonia from Ace Hardware. It will definitley darken the wood but I'm with Scott, it's way too inconsistent for my taste. Some of the pieces turned a rich...
