Joe, never said that I could. I'm not going to claim that it is 100% accurate, only that when I have needed them I have been successful more times then not. That being said, they certainly do not...

Well since science has proven they don't work I guess I'll have to throw mine in the trash. Too bad, they have served me pretty well during my years in the underground utility construction business....

73 sounds nice, we'll be lucky to get that cool at night here for the next few months. Only made it to 99 today. Maybe one of these next few months it might actually rain too, but definitely not...

Hopefully I get lucky cause I sanded to 320 & wiped on 3 coats of 50/50 waterlox & mineral spirits today. Read this after I got in from the garage. So far it looks pretty good IMO, hoping it still...

Shawn, that's pretty much what I was concerned about - if it would level out without doing anything to the depressions. I like the idea of the clear epoxy, I'm going to search for that video. The...

Understood. Fortunately for me I can't smell a thing, but unfortunately my girlfriend apparently has one the most highly developed senses of smell on the planet. So roughly translated I'm going to...

Thanks Chris, I think I'll look into this for some of the bigger spots like the one on the first picture (although it's really not very big - picture kind of overstates it). I think I'm going to try...

Actually Dennis, sorry to mislead but I bought the table. I'm in agreement on not quite sure what to make of it yet, though. I was dragged to the Crate & Barrel outlet mall in San Marcos, Texas &...

Based on the answers to a previous question about finishing a table, I have chosen the gloss finish Waterlox. I'm in the process of sanding down the table with only 320 grit to go, but there are...

Thanks for the tips Neal. I plan on finishing it in my garage, and then a couple of days after the last coat move it inside. Is that too soon to move it in if it is still giving off fumes for a...

Thanks guys, that is exactly what I was looking for. After reading up on them, it seems either would be a good choice. Now to figure out which one to go with. I've read a few different tips on...

Well, that is kind of why I was asking the question of would anyone have another recommendation as to how to finish the table. What would be a better choice? My finishing experience is very limited...

I bought a table that is reportedly unfinished reclaimed Saal wood. The place I bought it from recommended a few coats of tung oil followed by a beeswax finish. Does anyone have any other...

That is what I was thinking, in line it would be perfect, but I am going to be storing it length wise along a wall & then moving it out into the open perpendicular to the wall so I move all around it...

Eric, thanks for the detailed response. I'm really liking the idea of adjustable height option. Although I'm 5'9", I have my temporary bench setup at 37" (an old maple butcher block kitchen table...

Pedro, that makes perfect sense & is a pretty ingenious idea. How big & heavy is lathe bench that you have this set up on, if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at 7' x 28" range for my bench...

Todd, nice looking bench, found the pictures. How are you liking the tray so far? Are these the casters that you are using:

Thanks

Absolutely no argument here Dewald. There is no way my body would survive trying to do that work on the floors of the garage. I'm a fairly young guy, but with a blown out knee and ruptured disc in...

Eric, that is a nice looking bench there. I like those Noden adjustable legs and the extras that you have added on. How often do you find yourself adjusting the height, if you don't mind me asking?...

David, thanks for the welcome. The use of one of those hydraulic jacks was one of the thoughts that I had too, I already have one in the garage. I like the idea of the cross piece in between the...

Jim, thanks for the quick response. What you mentioned with a hinged wheel attachment sounds perfect. I definitely will look into that. Heck of a lot more simple than trying to jack up a bench &...

As the title says, I'm a just getting into the neander ways of woodworking. Actually, I'm really just getting into woodworking in general. I've always been interested, but never really had the time...

Phil, I agree with you that one of those crates would be more ideal. That's what we use for our dachshund that stays in the kitchen. The issue I'm running up against though is where the crate is...

Thanks for the replies. Although the puppy chewing on it from the inside is of concern, I was planning on taking an old wire dog crate & trimming it to fit on the inside to keep her from being able...

Hello, new to this forum and actually pretty new to woodworking in general. I'm getting ready to start my first project that will be find its way to a highly visible area of the house. I'm going to...
