    Bookcase Build Cupped Side Panel

    So, I have been working on this bookcase for a while when I get time. The design calls for removable shelves except for the bottom fixed shelf. During a dry-fit I noticed a slight "wow" over the...

    Thanks all. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the components to use Jeff Jewitt's methodology for finishing this piece. I have read a lot of posts and I see where spraying the dye is...

    Thanks Rob - my original thought was to fume the thing. I am however, concerned about the variation in color given the wood I have in the piece. I have never done fuming but have researched a fair...

    Thanks Glenn. I agree dead flat is ideal.

    Now I just need the shop to get a little warmer so I can fire up the DC (in adjacent unheated garage) and start sanding some panels.

    SuperMax 16-32

    Made friends with my SuperMax 16-32 today.

    I haven't messed with the rollers, either upper or lower. I was having some snipe issues recently - checked the bed rollers as part of my investigation and they were flush. I cleaned the tables and...

    I have the same planer and the same thump. A little disconcerting but you will get used to it. My bed rollers are flush with the bed and tables.

    I have what I believe is the same drill press and it has served me well. Lowes has a new Skil 6.2 amp drill press right now for $200.

    Brian and Mark, thank you both for your input. I will break out the checkbook. As a percentage, the "show" pieces relative to the total needed are probably in the realm of 50%, although this is...

    Yes, Maurice - that is the critter, although a little red for my taste/plan. My supplier has 1,000BF of 4/4 in stock, and I have had pretty good luck with them in the past; wish me luck. Thanks for...

    Thanks Mark. That is helpful. I should have mentioned I will be buying rough stock. I will be able to sort through the wood. I stopped by the supplier yesterday to see what they had. They had...
