Hey Guys,
Thanks for the advice. You saved me countless hours of trial and error. Attached is a pic of the matching I was able to do. In the center is the Cherry finish on a drawer front. I was...

My buddies at the local WC store gave me the same advice of the 50/50 solution of water/DNA with the TT dyes. I will definitely go that route. Did you wipe down with water and sand your poplar...

Looks like it time to spray some dye! Thanks guys.

Do you think a gel stain would be another good option?
Thanks,
Bill

I'm making four mirror frames using poplar fluted casing and rosettes (see picture below). I'm trying to match the stained cabinet drawer front next to the casing in the picture. I have a sprayer...

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the tips. I'll give the silicone and wax paper a try this weekend. The phenolic top has some steel 90 degree cleats on the bottom that just happen to line up with the middle...

I just purchased a brand new phenolic router table top and want to mount it to my already built router cabinet (see pic). The problem is that the top of my router cabinet is not flat and I don't...

Got it. Thanks, guys.

Finishing a piece of furniture. Used oil based stain, then I am going to spray dewaxed shellac and then some EM6000 water based lacquer. How long do I have to wait between spraying the dewaxed...

Hey guys,
I completed my two projects. For the table I finished the finish with 0000 steel wool and some Behlens wool-lube, followed by some Johnson's paste wax. The paste wax brought some sheen...

Hey guys,
I sprayed shellac and my em6000. Wow, that em6000 stuff went on really easy. It was my first time using my Earlex 5000 and I am very pleased with the results. I did one coat of shellac...

Thanks for the input. I'll spray on some shellac (from flakes).
Jim, I did try to brush on some shellac. It kind of muddied the dye. I guess I should have figured that out.....alcohol based...

I have two projects. One is a table I stained with Minwax stain and the other is a blanket chest I dyed with transtint dyes (alcohol mix). My question is this: Do I need to shellac either one of...

Thanks guys. I think I'll start with the shellac. I brushed it on a night stand and have been very happy with the results. And like Shawn said, if I get better at spraying, I can always put Target...

Hi, I'm planning to finish a blanket chest. I'm thinking about biting the bullet and buying an Earlex or Rockler (been reading the other threads on that subject all night!). Since this is a blanket...

Please count me in,
Thanks,

I'm in as well.
Thanks,

Here's my info from 7/28 (I didn't want to waste space and re-post the pics)...
Well,
I know it wasn't a race, but I have completed my Morris Chair! OK, I did start in December;).
Anyway, I...

Hi Nathan,
I posted a response on 7/18 (in this thread) that shows some pictures and the vinyl I used. The "Whisper" vinyl is really soft and warm. It's been two months and I'm still enjoying it. ...

Thanks for the leather advice, David. There's a Tandy store about 60 miles from me (in Columbus), so I'll check it out next time I'm there.
