Yes indeed, and now I'm regretting now using Titebond for this tabletop. I've made tops with salvaged ipe with Titebond I and they held perfectly.

I had figured epoxy was more fool and fail proof!

Ken, I built a table using this very system, some years back. I did not use any material other than wood. Works fine.
How often will the table be opened and closed? Even if it's four to six times a...

A guy I know is having trouble finishing chairs with white nitrocellulose lacquer.
He said when it's dry it rubs of easily. He's had to strip the chairs down again.

I asked him what primer he...

Don't see anything other than two young women with squiggly "photoshopped" arms, pizza and a cityscape. Do I need a shot of whiskey?

Almost all my machines now have link belts. They don't take a set. On machines that got used sporadically I had more vibration when using a V-belt.
I get the belts at Harbor Freight.

Very well expressed Phillip.

Jimmy, where are you located?
Maybe you said but I didn't see it. Thanks.

I'm going with John TenEyck and John Lanciani - rip and reglue.
I'm wary now of using epoxy again - might Titebond III work on this tropical wood?

To John Kananis - it was clamped up very tight,...

I glued up this oval Santos mahogany coffee table on Sunday.

Yesterday morning, Tuesday, I placed it outside under cloudy skies in the hope that the UV to hasten the darkening of wood surface...

As Cameron suggests, heat treating the table should kill the bugs.
Alternatively if a house in your neighborhood is being tented you could ask to put the table in there for the duration of the...

If you hinge the screens to each other so they can open/close like an accordion this will keep the stiles from bowing.
But if hinging is out of the question I think a mid-rail or wider stiles will...

You can buy a new arbor from Peter Harrison for the Hammond TrimOsaw that allows the saw to take a 5/8" arbor sawblade.

Ipe is an extremely destructive choice of wood to use. A quick google search will show you most of the ipe for sale here in the USA is from illegal logging.

We have plenty of north American woods...

I'm restoring a 1938 Craftsman 8" cast iron body table saw. It came with removable wings. Here's a photo of the machine (not mine). They come up for sale in better condition than this rusty one....

Thanks Jamie, however I'd prefer to use either hard oil or Rubio on this project.

Here are two red oak panel glue-ups that I fumed. They are finished with regular (pure) Rubio.

They don't match white oak, but the fuming gets rid of the pink hues, and moves it a...

Andrew, I regularly fume red oak with ammonia and it can make it look more like white oak than before. I'll try to dig out some photos.

Thanks Bill, but the site give no information about how it takes the finishes I mentioned.
I think the WDB is a great website, one I refer to often.

I'll be making something with Santos Mahogany - am concerned about how it takes finish.
Can I use hard oil (poly, linseed, thinner) or will the oils stop the finish curing?
How about Rubio...

I will loan my machinist friend tools, and I borrow some from him. He has an extensive collection of gear pullers I've used over the years when restoring my machines.

Last week our car battery...

Good for you. Photos of the finished board please.

I bought a 15" widebelt sander used. It was taking way more material on one side.
The maker (I won't say who) still sells new machines here in Los Angeles - they said to bring it in, would be...

Thanks everyone, I'll buy some right now.

Does anyone have a favorite place / trusted brand of Danish chair weaving cord?

thanks, Mark
