I listened to Zappa , he was even better than Captain Beefheart . Died of prostate cancer . If I remember right ,he was telling Docs
he needed help and didn’t get any until it was too late.
Well, If Paul Harvey , ….(Old Radio Commentator )was still Around he would recommend Bar Keeper’s Friend. It’s made of a soft stone

Years ago I read in a couple of places that one of the first things an apprentice made was his own coffin , which would be used as a
tool box. If it was not good , the shop owner probably kept it ,...
Titebond 3 Will probably work , if you remove the oil in the pieces.
And here’s a tip , never use mayonnaise as glue. Yes , it will stick two pieces of bread together….but NOT wood.
I had same trouble once. Someone informed me that Acetone has OIL in it. If you want to use it , I would then clean the surfaces
with denatured alcohol.
Epoxy should not get a lot of...
It’s a Pox on your Epoxy ! You need a good Gypsy to fix it ! I’m bringing back POX ‘cuz it’s scientific and contains no vile language.

books, and I think that’s the way of many. That makes for...
Green (in color) poplar is pretty durable. Used a lot of it in employments making stuff for exterior use. Some contractors doing
high grade work, will ask for it , much better than some more...
It’s possible that it might have some sap edges. But I haven’t heard or read about defects. Redwood is soft , I’ve seen it cursed and
thrown out ‘cuz people didn’t know it was so soft. But….when...
Ipe is real good. I have an Ipe deck , don’t remember when I made it. Probably at least 20 years ago. But I wouldn’t put one deck over
another one without the upper one sloped and covered with...
Plywood, covered with light canvas glued down with Titebond 2 or 3 . I prefer 2. Paint it , it will last . Nothing new, goes back to
at least 1890 s . Was used on wooden ship hulls. Easy to...
