I do a lot of tool restoration, I really like "evaporust", you soak the item in it for a couple of hours, rinse, quick redip and it takes off the rust. It doesnt' go shiny though, it leaves the...

Hmm. Epoxy could work, I seem to have a few gallons around. I can't use tempered glass, needs to be on wood, and hold minor seepage from going to floor.

*shrug* time to make some circles, route...

When I bought my car 2 years ago rather than buy the "sound" package for 3500 to get a decent stereo I decided to do one myself and got a ridiculous one for that price. Followed by a year of sound...

So, what's a good water-resistant clear finish for a plant stand top, or saucers. Something that can expect to get soaked a couple of times a month and stay wet maybe a couple of days.

Aside from...

aside from woodworking I have a hobby (obsession?) of knifeworking.
Absolutely they make many zirconium or ceramic 2x72 belts, that's sort of the prime knifemaker's belt size.
What grit are you...

Definitely preferable, but it's not so easy to unbond the glue in finger joints.

I'm also trying the hard stuff to both learn and test out the limits. Learning before it's crucial not to make any...

And yes, spray pre-assembly for sure, but sometimes it's not an option unfortunately. Hard to unglue finger joints!

The inside is going to mostly be lined anyway, I'm just overdoing it to learn...

OK, excellent. I was hoping you'd pipe in Jim, you're one of the main reasons I settled on Target. Good to hear they're still a preference. While I understand anyone can have issues with anything, as...

Target Coatings. I went with Target from a whole bunch of positive posts about it.

I"ve sprayed almost a gallon each of em2000 and em6000 now while learning spraying. I'm getting some orange peel...

I've been learning spraying with em2000 and em6000 on a Wagner Control Max HVLP sprayer. I'd like to also spray some kind of color coating, maybe em6500.

I really like spraying, first off. I've...

Fantastic stuff!
I printed out your Moxon vice from your webpage for reference (stealing) then realized this is the Old version. How's the new one coming? (awaiting it for more despicable thievery)

The difference between shellac and a lot of finishes is shellac will re-disolve. So you put it on very thin, following coats will level.

If you're spraying/applying trying to get each coat level,...

Strain to get out the threads, thin (mineral spirits) and wipe it on/off. Try a test piece of same wood first to be sure (always test, better to waste a little wood than the piece you worked hard on!)

I recently did a project with quite a few mortise/tenons and I'm a methodical tester.
I got 2 shoulder planes, a new Stanley 92 (1 of 2 new stanleys, this one was actually good) and... some other...

Then there are "moulding planes", they very much are shapers.

Definitions can be tough. I go with the "if it holds some sort of blade in a holder fo give a consistent plane, whether curved or...

Yes, if you're not familiar with it, The Sagulator is a great tool for these kinds of things.

I like the idea of turning them into little knives!
Of course for the effort and wear on the grinding stone, just buying blades would make more sense, but I'm not in this to make sense!
apparently.

"run the pipes and power under a raised floor"
Working in IT, that was my first thought too, but the concrete will sound insulate the pipes MUCH better than a raised floor.

Is that rebar in the...

@Peter Christensen
I live in Michigan, I don't tend to plane as much in the winter either, I think only 3x in this mild winter actually. Each time bundled up like I was searching for the North...

Or just put your planer by the garage door and open it when you plane. Bonus: Line up half a dozen box fans behind you blowing out.

I'd think the neighbor's dust collector, along with some fresh...

Let me guess, you started out refurb'ing a tablesaw for personal use for woodworking, and now spend most of your time refurbishing saws rather than woodworking? Maybe we're relatives.

Wow, that...

My Dewalt saw absolutely screamed so i put on a different blade and it helped a LOT. I got a stiffener because there's a sucker born every minute (I probably set the quota for the whole day!). The...
