I have one and its a good saw.

For a few dollars more, this might be an option. Included 2 5.0A batteries. If you already have them, it never hurts to have more than one drill/driver.

I'm making several deck chairs of cypress that will be under cover and out of the weather.

So far, all I've tested is Waterlox, and it looks good. But I've thought about Osmo and Danish oil.

I start by adjusting the stand so the wheel is centered on the bevel, and I grind until there's about 1/16" to the edge.

That's my "secondary bevel".

If you grind to the edge with a stone you...

Thanks Mark. I couldn't find any full size plans, so I made my own. And yeah, I cut the angles the wrong way on the vertical supports.:confused:

Yeah, there are a couple discrepancies in the...

I'm having some trouble getting the back slats to lie flat on the vertical supports. It seems the angle needs to be steeper. I need to keep playing with it I guess.

Main main question right now...

I've made all the parts according to the templates and double checked everything but when I mocked it up the geometry seems off.

You're over thinking it. You're not building furniture.

Sticker the boards for a week or two if they are really wet they will lose a lot of moisture quite quickly.

Its an outdoor application,...

I've got both in my shop. The initial electrics were done by an electrician, all run with conduit.

I have never tried to run an extra wire through conduit it seems to me it would be very...

A Worksharp wouldn't make much noise.

How far off is the primary bevel?

As mentioned, sandpaper is probably the best option. A piece of melamine is good enough.

I have a Shelix cutterhead on my 8" jointer and I need to install new cutters. I need 40 of them.

Is the wood punky? I had something similar with a maple log I let go too long. Massive amount of figure but the wood was like wet paper. I ended up burning it.

I use 180 grit +1 on the Rhynosoft pads.

Bead board is a PITA.

Check VanDykes. Pricey but it will give you some ideas. Sounds like you want something simple, not too ornate, right? In which case a simple cap with rounded edges and a corner moulding might be...

I would sand it and reapply a waterborne finish. No power sanders - do it by hand 320 grit & very careful around edges.

There are several that will do a good job for a table. I've used the...

More likely to be the bit. Whiteside and CMT are two of the most reliable brands.

I sealed this one with a tinted shellac (sprayed), then applied ArmRSeal. I despise BLO b/c of the smell and drying time.

I made the center stiles narrower in this case. I bit risky, one of the doors is slightly gapped at the top after 5 years. Sorry about sideways pic I can't figure out how to correct.

Actually you can build an entire project without a measuring instrument.

I've done the same thing as above, but I don't use a plane much anymore. Instead I use a 2x2x12 piece of square wood with 80 grit on one face and 120 on the other. I use it on veneer that tends to...

Same here. Often I clean up the edge with a hand plane. But it depends on how bad the saw marks are.

Butternut probably not the best choice for durability, but that's me. 1/2 oak would work I think.

Weight is definitely an issue. I built a similar chest of oak that weighs close to 70 pounds -...

Shop vacs are just that - vacuums, meaning high suction/low CFM. So they don't work very well for table saws, or any machine with a cabinet (jointer, router table).

How about a portable DC? ...

I've heard of this, but haven't experienced it.

But I have heard of people easing the edges.

If you've got good support on both sides it will be ok.

When you build cabs either make face frame flush with sides or do what Tom said.

I would run 3 ribs the full length, and cross ribs every 12" or so. This also gives you enough room for the air nailer.

Butt joints are fine. Use glue. I've used both nails and screws. I like...
