The Tung Oil Finish is about 6 months old. I bought the wipe on poly three days ago. I don't think either went bad in the can. A year or so ago there was a fair bit of info shared here that (for...

I used some Minwax wipe on poly over Behr's tung oil finish. I waited 48 hrs between coats and the tung oil finish seemed bone dry but the poly won't dry. I didn't think there was any real tung...

" And now for something completely different" " The Larch. The Larch." What no Monty Python fans here? Now I'm going to have to find some larch. the larch, just to make something funny.

Not to say anything against Sam Maloof, because if I ever make one thing as well as he made anything I'd be proud, but remember the context of his fame. If I remember correctly it was by luck his...

Edwin, When ou find out let me know I'm having exactly the same time with mine.

On a similar note. I bought a 1950's Delta Milwaukee 6" jointer on CL for $130. It took three tries and four plus hours to get it cleaned up and the blades and tables set up. It's cutting smooth...

I think it's real pretty, but your family day at the river looked even better.

It seems to be trunk base to me, the center of the rootball. I was cutting through one of those with a chain saw...

I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules here by plugging a business but I got to tell you guys about Travis. He's a great hard working kid ( well he's 23) that started a sawmill business in...

Cool idea Brad. Thanks. And I am going to practice this a few times on some # yellow pine before I get near the black walnut. And even then I'll practice on some scrap ends first. This wood is too...

Alcohol is hydroscopic, it draws moisture to itself so that doesn't sound like a plan. A leather worker friend iron banded a 24" long by 18" diameter maple log for a , I guess you'd call it a...

Impressive!!

I am building a bed for my son and I got some Rockler bed rail mounts http://images.rockler.com/rockler/images/28589-01-200.jpg
I have never flush mortised the end of a board before. I don't have a...

Cut it into 'Jenga' block sets and give them to Recreation centers, after school programs, children's hospitals, USO.

About the super glue. I used some super glue to 'repair' some end splitting on a coffee table. It filled the grain completely. That 1/2" square takes finish (or I should say doesn't take finish)...

Your Disney reference is spot on. I thought of "Fantasia" when I saw it. Now that I think more on it, this magazine rack could be perfectly cast in "Beauty and the Beast" Old world style,...

Wow!! Lucky fish.

I love the way you guys think. Now what can I make for SWMBO? Something to make the other cubicle dwellers jealous, Hmmm? I love the grain in that tulip wood.

I really like how light it all is. The tops seem to float.

OMG am I really this old. I can't pick up a simple little log? At least not with out semi-crippling day after pain in my shoulders and fore arms? It was only a 7' x 14" black walnut tree trunk. ...

I feel your pain , Ken. Been there. Done that. Threw away the receipts to hide the evidence.:rolleyes:

Like Jim Becker, I've bought from overstock, but I've had mixed results. I got one set of 1000 ct. that were sooooooo good I've been spoiled for life. I ordered exactly the same stock number four...

If it is recommended for boat building I would guess a planter would be OK. On the last planters I made, I built them so some plastic planters from the BORG would just drop in. That way I am less...

I bought a used 28-200 band saw and with the help of many here, it is now chewing wood (in a more or less straight line) . When it is plugged in it hums. Just your standard 60 cycle tune. Is that...

Please, any one here can correct me if my use of terms is wrong. A true "Cabinet Maker" is like George Wilson (most frequently found meandering the Neander valley on SMC). His is the craftsmanship...

I went to DeWalt's service net,Mike. They say that manual is not available on line at this time.

Vic, this site www.americanfurnituredsgn.com/Band%20Saw%20Tune-up%20Dec%2003.htm has also taught...
