One note on using a full chipper dado blade on the saw stop....

Update: I called Waterlox. They said their finish would work fine as long as I did not build too thick a coat. I will probably go with that. I have used Waterlox in the past and like the way it...
I am finishing a set of indoor garage stairs. I can finish the stairs inside, but they will live in an unfinished garage. They will not be exposed to sunlight, but the garage does get below...
For many projects where two adjoining surfaces are meant to be flush, I like to intentionally offset the domino from being on center. Perhaps an 1/8th or so.
Then, when you are putting the...
I had the same issue and result.
I use a two-step process starting with Speedball and then Transtint Black. The Speedball does not always fill the pores (especially in Oak), and the Transtint wets better. I have tested out the...
I use all tight holes on the first piece, and a single tight hole only on the "show" end of the second piece. The rest are medium. (Which piece you call the first piece and second piece is...
I use a pop-up booth, with the front made from plywood. The back is canvas drop cloths, which allows me to extend the booth the one time a year I need more than 8 x 8.
One thing I figured out...
I put 7 coats on my Ipe mailbox 10 years ago. It looks like it was dipped in plastic. Although it has lasted 10 years in the sun in New Jersey, getting pee'd on at least once a day and whipped with...
I like Rustoleum Professional High Performance Enamel. It comes in a large silver spray can and has a good spray tip. Shaking the can well intermittently while spraying makes sure all the paint...
How about "knife hinges." https://www.brusso.com/knife-hinges/?gclid=CjwKCAjwztL2BRATEiwAvnALcucDi03FdaASnZofcZrWAzonWfqVweIZHzPaAeWjYEeU7Y_adV7ThxoCtvwQAvD_BwE
I have sprayed BIN in an HVLP also. It is hard to see from the pictures, but I don't think you are putting on enough paint. Check the mill thickness if possible. It is flat, so you can put on a...
I have the ICS.
It just nicked the miter bar. I was holding onto the bar at the time. Even with the shearing of the teeth, it stopped that blade after about 20 degrees of rotation so I don't...
SawStop Dado Trigger Issue:
Hi: I am the guy that had an accidental trigger with a dado blade. The blade hit the miter gauge. And BANG! Very big BANG. Well, long story short, my dado blade...
Jamie and John:
Thanks for the comments. The poly does not come in a matte sheen, so I'll try the Hood Finishing product. I like to try changing the sheen. I sometimes use 1000 or 2000 grit...
Thanks. You are so right on getting the finish dialed in on the gun. That's why I like the GF finishes that are fine from the can.
I thought about using Target Coatings, and glad to see its not...
I have been trying to finish a number of projects with a matte black film finish. Surprisingly, and as recognized by Charles Neal (rest his sole), this is a very difficult finish to master. I have...
I love your selection of block planes.
PS: I looked up Roberts 70-025 Qep 70-029 Unison Underlayment and thought you were joking. Then I looked closer at your picture and that was really there....
I have come to the conclusion that a plane till, like a workbench, is one of those "lifetime" projects. By that I mean it is one of those projects you make at least three times, and the last one...
They sharpened my 20" blades perfectly and quickly. And as a happy surprise, when I got the blade backs, I found that they laser engraved them.425839
I spray EnduroVar a lot. I find that you have to put a wet coat down, and then pray to the chemistry gods that the thing levels out. Magically, it always does. It is kind of amazing.
I try...
Thomas, you can use a 3/4 dado set. You just have to use a set with the partial plate chippers. See the discussion above. I don't think you can use a 10" one though.
I agree with Brian. Hitting a normal blade has not damaged the saw. The brake just jams into the blade teeth and stops the rotation within one or two teeth. Amazing in fact. (And it drops the...
Thanks. My manual didn't have it. But I am glad that SawStop is warning people about it. I guess like all engineering fixes, others must have experienced the problem and SawStop made the...
I agree. I can't believe SawStop says a .010 blade misalignment is within tolerance. In fact, when I said that, I responded "INCHES! You must mean milimeters!"
