I just use a hand plane, easier and less scary that a router.

Yes. I've kept it for at least a year with no special precautions. Suggest weighing the components when mixing small batches to keep the ratios...

I'd call whoever makes popsicle sticks.

I think cutting through the splines would look odd, at best. I'd certainly do a scale model mock-up first to see if I liked it. You'd need to have...

I moved both my catalog and storage disk a while ago but have little memory of how I did it. Catalog on a new SSD and picture storage onto a NAS....

I worked for many years without one, then bought one when I was trimming out our house with cherry A&C trim and was faced with a couple thousand feet...

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when my network connection went from 300 baud to 1200.

I'd let the folks who want to use it as is have it for whatever exorbitant price they are willing to pay for beat up bug infected wood. Good white...

If you bend it under the edges and tack it in place there is no need for glue-- I'd think glue would be problematic because of the very different...

A hot attic on a hot summer day can do the trick-- or a glass-windowed van parked in full sun with the windows closed in the summer easily gets that...

If it were me I'd go the unvented roof route (as we have in our current house and shop), fill the bays with closed cell foam, than 2" of rigid foam...

1) 135 degrees for eight hours (IIRC, check the USDA web site) 2) fumigation with methyl bromide (you'll need to take it to a licensed pro...

I'm not going to be much help, as I am a complete novice at spray finishing. The Qualspray gun with PPS was my first gun and I have to say I'm...

Beautiful turning stock, but a bear to dry without cracking. Very much worth it if you succeed.

I'd be surprised if it had much longevity. I have a couple pieces done with it that the cats have beaten up pretty badly. Bona Traffic HD is...

Your best bet is to give the folks at Oneway a call. Real people there, they answer the phone and are quite helpful. They can probably supply the...

Some progress, but then things ground to a halt when the tensioner screw on my bandsaw broke :(. Things had been going along, but then utter failure...

Boy, if I could get one here at that price I'd just write a check. I've been looking for a good used one for many months now. Ocean freight would...

Compared to golf, bass boats, or sailboats? I don''t think so.

No opinion on that brand. I turned bowls for ~25 years using one Henry Taylor Superflute gouge (1/2" UK measure, 5/8" US measure) with an Ellsworth...

Actually I have; pencil wins hands down. Both markings inside old organs and notations on paper books and rolls from 100+ years ago. The pencil is...

Do you not have a bench grinder? If not then your best investment will be an inexpensive grinder (HF or CraigsList is fine for this) upgraded with a...

OK, not rust. I have also seen hairline cracks develop in PVC, so I'm not ready to give the pipe a free pass just yet. ;-) First thing I'd do in...

Aside from not having the tips touching each other (which will keep the plates from touching) I've never noticed that any particular spacing makes...

Take the fitting off and check the pipe. Had a similar problem in my son's house where I was blaming the fitting and the problem was that the cast...

For hefty, Alan Lacer's "Uber Skew" takes the prize. It'a a beautiful tool. He sells it directly. The skews from D-Way come perfectly tuned, all...

I just did a vanity for a friend and used the Target EM6500WP pigmented lacquer supplemented with their crosslinker. It sprayed very easily and left...

Can't answer your question for sure, but I popped a couple of these into a really nasty, ancient ('60's vintage) fixture a few weeks ago and they...

William Ng sells this huge pattern routing bit (made by Whiteside) for exactly this kind of work. It works spectacularly well for G&G style furniture...
