Good solid comments. But the glue is only cheap in quantity. Five percent makes a very thin glue ,but 4 or 5 percent water has a good place in...

Yeah, the router guide is made by Dewalt. Fits perfect with the Dewalt track and router. Hook the vac up and it's almost dust free.

Maybe I could put chicken wire in front of it so the angry beer bottles don't wreck the wood, sorta like in The Blues Brothers.

Hi Dale, Until 2015, I lived in Willowbrook and made frequent trips to Owl Hardwood, both their Lombard and Des Plaines locations. They...

Thanks for the replies. I've been tossing this around a lot but haven't been able to find the, "That's it!" feeling. The wood I listed is from...

The pieces for the bottom corner were fitted before glue up. This is looking from the back Same for the top corner Those sections are now...

The units were drawn up in AutoCAD and all dimensions were created from there. Cut sheets for 3/4", 1/2" and 1/4" plywood were also created as was a...

Thank you, guys. I'm closing in on the finish but another project has taken precedent (orders from headquarters) so I'm not sure when I'll get back...

Jim, sometimes the problem is just from allowing the bit to bottom out ,it should be about an 1/8 th from the bottom.

That is a nice set of "bed steps" ...but today's beds are so low . You might have to buy a couple more mattresses ! Or a small dog that can't get on...

All but one of the electric guitar bodies I've made are two-piece, glued down the center. Many two-piece bodies with a laminated top also have...

Nice lean modern piece ,and that contrast is real nice. I'm sure they will be delighted with it .

The filter won't arrive for another week. By that time I'll be done with most of the garage work for the current project. I was thinking about...

I hope that's not an ingredient in the alpaca hair.

Lots of tedious work. An interesting concept ,with the modern simplicity allowing allusion to the two thieves ,wine,a chalice ,an angel, and Easter...

Way to go, Malcolm! Nice design. When does it start?

As far as code, only your local electrical inspector is guaranteed to give you the right answer. A baseboard heater usually has a dedicated circuit...

Thank you, Peter. I found a Torit replacement filter on Amazon for $50 less than Damn Filters. Nanofiber, MERV 15, 256 sq/ft media. That should...

I sent these guys a message several days ago, giving them the info on my DC, but no reply. They do have some pretty good prices though.

That's one thing that has me most curious. And, of course, how will it play? The fixed bridge really changes things compared to all the...

It's an old term for color change caused by an object in one place for a long time shielding the surface under it from light and dirt.

Spectacular material and work on that plane rack. Hundred years from now someone on a wood forum will want info on removing the "ghosts" on that...

Some of the 17th century stuff is really rough on the back. I've wondered if that was done to show the wood was "riven" like the guilds had required.

Got the fretboard cut around the sound hole. Stripped the finish off the bridge and added some orange dye to get it closer to the colors of the...

I think they are mainly used by pattern makers to put draft on vertical surfaces. That's why Kindt Collins sells them.

The top of an acoustic guitar is usually glued at the seam and the braces act as additional support. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, there is no...

Thanks for the links, Peter. :) I'll check them out.

I was all set to buy the Oneida 40 sq/ft filter (13"Hx13"OD) when I saw they want to charge $28.50 for shipping. :eek: They charge by price rather...
