Wood Turners Wonders They make 3 double-sided discs (I have them all) 80/150, 360/600, 800/1200. One could argue that if you finish on...

I can tell you that in my warehouse we had a situation with a 5 gallon bucket had a smidge of oil left at the bottom. Another 5 gallon bucket was...

A rasp is nice for shaping when a plane or spokeshave won’t fit or can’t handle the grain. Floats are used more by plane makers although some...

Roger is experienced and normally I wouldn’t challenge, but I personally wouldn’t throw even gloves or mixing cups in an enclosed trash. I have had...

Your scratches can be from a couple things. Sometimes the scratches from the lower grits aren’t removed properly and then show up only when the...

Bringing the tailstock live center up to a faceplate is a fine technique for centering the the turning as you reverse it. However, the taper of...

I would contact Pete Terbovitch @ Horizon Wood Products. He's in PA, though. What you should ask for is if he has pieces that are partially dried...

While not on topic, I will add that for me that the two reasons I prefer cbn over white wheels are that the wheel diameter does not change and that...

If you really think this not a dangerous idea, I would look at ash. Straight grained ash. It’s light and strong. That’s why it’s used for...

Isn't "weed pot" redundant? ;) Nice work. I'm partial to the last one. Feels sculpted from a block

Wood Turners Wonders. Not cheap, but like you, I prefer the flat surface for plane blade grinding. I also work with a drawknife and find...

Mike. Btw, they make cbn discs for the worksharp. Even better than the diamond lap discs .

Is your product oil based? The 8000cv is waterbased. So I am not sure the two products share much in actual practice.

Months. Are you using the same product?

Yes Mark. In fact it did go away. I tried using a hair dryer at first and that did not work. Time worked. It looks perfect now.

Derek, I think you just spoiled LV's April Fool's Day item for 2023!!! They could have offered a protective, replaceable veneer inserts and...

Resting them on a bench I dont care if the bench gets scratched. Resting them on any other surface that might damage the blade or be damaged by it,...

I had that DW735 for several years. My advice: Get an aftermarket $20 single stage bag and run a short section of 4" pipe from the exit port to...

Luke’s statement to think like a hand tool worker is rich. The shooting board helps you sneak up on the length. It’s not for the guy using a...

You can apply multiple coats of blo in a day as long as the previous coat isn’t tacky. Always wipe completely off (sure you already knew that). ...

I am also in a funk. As a hobbyist, how many tables, bowls, guitars, cutting boards, etc can one make? It's just the same old stuff over and over...

I've done it both ways. It doesn't matter in my experience. I pay way more attention to the flatness. In fact, there is an argument to be made...

I would not rip. There’s good history on these boards. Let them be different colors. Over time they may even out. They may not. So what? ...

That's going to be beautiful! The ambering effect of a topcoat comes from oil-based topcoats, which traditionally have been used. Water-based...

You sound like me in terms of project types. I have never missed a larger sander. I have a 5”. If anything, there are way more times I need a...

Slow speed grinder with a cbn wheel or worksharp 3000 with cbn discs.

That's a wonderful fix. It's almost too good. I like scars. But that's a professional result.

If you use a dessicant you will likely need to refresh it every so often. I turn everything bigger than 6” diameter to 1” thick. Wax and...

I had forgotten about Rubio or other “hard wax oils”. I change my vote. They are easy. Imho the extra cost is worth it unless you are going for...
