Cool thnx all! I'll post some pics here when I get done making something out of it. Have about 4 feet of it so if anyone wants a small chunk let me know what size and pm me your address.

Got this from a friend in construction. He said it was a cutoff from some main beam used in building a house. Was going to cut a nice chunk off and stick it in a vacuum chamber with some epoxy to...

Thank you both for you help. I had looked at so many prices for different things that I just confused myself. After reading your posts it all kinda came clear. I'm gonna go ahead and make a listing...

Thats a good idea too. The one problem with them being wet for a long time is staining but that sounds like its worth trying. thank you.

Thats the one thing I didn't try. Just figured there was no chance the way this stuff moves. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks!

Long story short. Friends of mine were decimated by Sandy. Father was a woodworker. He passed away during the repair of their home. A bunch of us are kicking in to help where we can. These were in...

I milled up some nice white Holly. Was wet as wet can be. Slowly trying to dry it and cut it into smaller chunks as it looses moisture. The small lumber I've milled warps abit but it at least dries...

Mines a standard 2 wheeler.

I have a small 10" craftsman bandsaw. It only cuts to a max of like 5 inches in depth. Have been using the wood turners blades (3/8" x .032") and the wood slicer also from Highland (1/2" x .022")....

After drilling the acrylic check to see if the drill will go in the whole just by hand....

Careful what kind of oil you use for acrylic. Some will cause crazing later on down the line. Most important is to keep it cool. Once it gets warmer it tends to "stretch" around the tap instead of...

I'm actually the one who made that post and I'm glad you made yours William. The saw costs $599. A replacement motor costs $1200. I've seen this in the automotive industry when a company does not...

Was just at A/C Moores tonight and they sell that same size block for carving. Think it 15-20 bucks.

Made what I thought was a major score on craigslist today.
Brand new Delta 36-725 table saw $125! It came with no fence and no blade guard.

Very helpful, thank you! Just gotta figure out #3 then.

A friends Father passed away who was a master carpenter and he asked me to help him sell of some the tools he had stored in his garage. His family was decimated by superstorm Sandy so all us...

Well now don't I feel like an idiot :p

Wow thats hot. Theres really only 2 kinds. Poly and nylon. They both have working temps of under 200 degrees. Even teflon hoses only go to 260 but I've never seen coiled ones. If melting is the...

Finishing the top of plywood is like finishing any other wood really. I would suggest taking some scraps and experimenting with different stains/dyes etc. Probably end up with some satin poly as you...

I have never in my life seen green lacquer thinner. Even the cheap stuff we used to clean our sprayguns in the automotive painting industry was clear. Any idea what brand it was? I certainly would...

Man that thing is huge. Beautiful!

I just started typing that into google and it popped up and filled in the rest for me so I guess alot of ppl have searched for the same....

I'm in Jersey (no laughing plz) and have a vacuum chamber those would fit in but ya would have to buy a gallon of TMI stabilizer from Woodcraft or Cactus Juice from whoever. Both are around 100...
