I envy you moving out of state............
Thanks to all, guess I buy a new pad. Had no idea they "wear". Guess I should be happy it lasted this long. Definitely throwing discs......... Randy
So I have to frequently change out sanding discs, well before they are anywhere close to warn out. How do I tell if its the pad on the sander or just worn out (the Velcro part) sanding discs? They...
I bought about eight 5/8" thick 8" wide cedar boards to cut up and use for slats to rebuild my mountain cabin deck railing. They have lots of knots in them How can I make sure they don't fall out...
ok, thnks all. Good info. Randy
I was given some denatured alcohol, and was wondering if it has any use in wood work finishing? Never used it before. Any users? if so, what do you use it for? Tx Randy Cox
Good advice Lee and Richard. Tx.
Guess I should have done that before even posting. Think I getting old. Tx.
Bought some nice looking large curly maple veneers at a very reasonable price thorough our woodworking club. Has some "ripples" in it. How do I get these flat? Thought of maybe a steam iron then...
I have a box joint jig that I followed the plans from the Philadelphia Furniture Workshop. It has worked great for other projects over the years. My question is that it says to test cut at least 6...
Nicely done! My son is a fire captain, 21 years now. They have to deal with a lot............
I'm with Lee. Michael Fortune video nails it. I've set up two bandsaws that way, an 18" and a 20" and both cut straight after adjusting the table to the band and the cut. Did not have to build in...
I had the same issue with the carb on my Kawasaki Mule. Such a tiny idle circuit hole. Not even a pin or needle would fit in. Used one of those small drills just between my fingers to clean out the...
I have a 20" Powermatic, check tracking with tension on (3/4" blade). Then stand back and turn on, should be same tracking. (This my 3rd BS, did same on all) Randy
I have the little 3" sanding disks for power sanding inside rotating bowls. My problem is that my sponge rubber mandrel that goes into the angle drill is not spongy or soft at all. Can anyone...
ok, thanks for comments!
Read where some have used polycrylic for a finish. Never used it myself, been using mostly semi gloss polyeurthane for bowls and everything else. Did try one bowl with Tung oil, ended up putting on...
Lots of good info. Tx for taking the time to reply!! Randy
OK, although a finishing Q, it says "All things spinny" under the forum title, so here goes. Friend gave me a bunch of freshly cut walnut this last winter. I cut into bowl blanks and did the...
I will say that I put all the crappy sides in and the best sides out, just in case. Glad I did that. Randy
OK it's finished, almost. Still needs some wood filler and sanding as the plywood is not great. This was just supposed to be the prototype but its now going to be the final product. The original...
I have the bottom 6 glued up and they turned and fit out much, much better than I thought they would. We're gluing up the top 5 tomorrow, leaving one off as this is going to be a cat box. I'll post...
Thank you all for your comments, recommendations, etc. I have finally cut the 12 pentagons about as accurately as I'm ever going to get them. I had to quit using the pegs in the holes (Steve's...
Michael and Rich. Sorry, I did a poor job of explaining the situation. I'm not figuring it out for her, I'm doing the cutting. She came to me with some web sites that showed it. She has the info...
