Thanks to you both. I have already painted the box with white latex. Can I still coat with 1) milk paint OR 2) BM Impervio (I have a no tint can) on top of Latex or...is it too late? Thanks

Hello,
a) I bought a Sanding sealer 2 years ago. Opened today for the first time and it has big lumps of white creamy product that I cannot dissolve. Any suggestion? Do I have to filter it? FYI, I...
I am not trying to emulate the MFT, I am trying to create a jig with a 36" t-track and 2 parallel 24" arms. The bracket you are referring to it is nice but it does not work for flat application. It...
Hello,
How can I connect the t-track perpendicularly (L)? I have this type of Track:

Any corner connector? I am trying to...
Yes, I actually mean Balusters. They can be also 1". Do I need a shoe rail and filets or is there a work around? I cannot find anything on the web about economically build a straight railing (balcony...
Hello, I am looking for red oak square rails, probably 1 1/4 x36". My local big box stores do not have anything off the shelf (only outdoor fir) and I would prefer to see them or know that they are...
John, The PARF guide comes with a Forstner bit not a spade bit. It has a pretty long tip (more than 1/8 I think). Tolerances are very important, so I will have to use the guide and its bit. I thought...
Sean, I actually bought a hardboard panel and I was planning to use it exactly the way you are suggesting. Thanks!!
Hello, I am interested to see what others have done. I bought a PARF Guide for my 20 mm MFT top (2x4'). I have several bench dogs: Veritas, TSO and some special made by TSO for me, plus the orange...
Good morning, I have few questions for you and need some guidance.
1) I am making a new top for my work new built bench. It will be made of two piece 2'x4' 18 mm BB. When the workbench is not in...
Thanks John, I will keep shopping around. $250X2 is a lot of money for a room that has no ROI. The solution is there ...now I need to find the material without breaking the bank. Thanks again
Thanks for the clarifications John TenEyck,
Ok, If I understood correctly, you are suggesting what I called at the very beginning the "riding" post . What I meant was that the post with be lapping...
I do not have HW flooring yet, just subfloor (3/4 T&G Fir dated 1929). We removed a couple of pieces to assess how the boxing could be done. That is when I figured out I had only a joist and not a...
John, I feel good about lapping. The question is how: how many bolts, where and how long? How much can I trim the post to make sure it stay safe and sound? How big/thick should the post be. (the half...
Absolutely love it!!!! I wish I could build the same. You have the same layout but "double". I need only one railing (left side) 48" long. You should write a white paper "how to". It is something I...
One thing that I did not mention is that I am planning cable railing so to have the post in metal does not scare me....would it be easier than having a wood post? In addition the half post will be...
Jim, Thanks for your comment. Would you mind to share a picture? I am wondering if I have to cut the bottom of the post 45 degrees. I think that if I see an indoor application, I would feel better...
John, the 2x8 is too narrow to use a bolt from the bottom. I might have to bolt on the side of the newel post.
Right, if I box the newel post it will be off center with the half post. I have a cabinet where the halp post would be. there is no flexibility there, I cannot move the location of the post because...
Based on your comment I still need to bolt the standalone newel post to the joist. The option described in my had drawings is a no no. Anyway looking at my situation and investigating a little more,...
John, Oh my...this is great!! Although I was hoping to avoid to bolt the stand alone newel post and bolt the base instead. I am wondering if my pictures came through. I could not see them the day...
It is 4 center to center which is more than what required. Height will be done by code. My concerns are about the sturdiness of the structure and what to use to anchor it. thanks
Jamie, the legs are too small to increase the size of a hole that it is already there. It will split the leg. They are not even 2" wide. Great idea, though.
Hello, my next project is a railing of about 3 feet. I have never bolt in a newel post and I am terrified. Currently we have only subfloors (1939) and in the process to get hardwood floors installed....
Great, I got the lag screws today. I will give it a shot tomorrow. If it breaks with time....I will redo with more support. This part of the project is slowing me down and i need to install...
