I believe it was James Krenov who would run his rails full length and in the case of a pair of doors, the rails came out of one length so that the grain ran continuously from one door to the next.

Go for the KV 8405 or the Accuride equivalent. Same slide but with 1 inch over travel.
Why not set up a drilling jig and drill 1/4 inch holes at the ends of each piece. Drill countersinks on the top and bottom pieces to accomodate a nut and washer. Use threaded rod to assemble the...
First off, I am a huge fan of wipe on finishes, especially on walnut, and have been using them for years. I have pieces I built back in the nineties that have never been refinished and still look...
I am not sure where you are located, but I get it from a local supplier in Reseda. CA. I believe they have national distribution. They usually have a booth at AWFS. Just Google "Centurion Wood...
I've been using Clear Acrylic Topcoat from Centurion Wood Coatings for years on light woods as well as red and white oak. It won't amber. It sprays like conventional lacquer, dries like...
If you are using the 1/4" pins (also called spoons) with a flat ground on one side where the shelf is suppose to sit, try rotating the pins on opposite corners 180 degrees so that the shelf rests on...
I would clean up the flat surfaces and use it as a floating shelf featuring the natural edge.
Anyone have any experience using an ultra violet light for locating glue residue? It seems they are either several hundred dollars from a test equipment company or $12-13 from Amazon.
I would think you could find a descent Delta 14" bandsaw in that price range. Assuming the tires and bearings are in good shape, that particular model has a number of after market accessories...
I've been asked to build several large (up to 36 by 80) by-pass doors for a custom, high end garage/mancave. The doors will be covered with 1 x 6 t & g clear, all heart, kiln dried cedar with a...
I guess it would depend on the look you're after. For a resawn appearance, I have pulled boards backwards through the bandsaw at an angle. For a weathered look or worn look, I use a tool called the...
I am not sure what "this is really the only highly exposed piece" is referring to. All I can say is that the stone wheel appears to be held onto my machine with a flat washer and a nut. The exposed...
Read my last three sentences. I have owned one of the first Tormeks, purchased new, for around 20 years or so. With the exception of not looking forward to changing the stone when the time comes,...
Just the shaft or all the metal components that come into contact with water?
Not to hijack the thread, but what did Tormek think would happen once the machine was used over an extended period of time? This was initially and still is a very expensive, well made machine. What...
I have found that using a solvent based wipe on oil finish will ultimately turn Purpleheart brown. However, spraying nitrocellulose lacquer or spraying a solvent based vinyl sealer first followed by...
I use an aerosol spray gun cleaner called "Naked Gun". It works better than any solvent, including lacquer thinner, and works for both solvent based and water based finishes, without damaging the...
Unlike having the availability of a Sawstop, thee are no safer alternatives to standard skis, at least as far as I know. As far as smoking is concerned, smokers should pay higher premiums.
Before I run out of popcorn, let me say this. I had a serious accident on my previous table saw, which I still own and use on occasion. This prompted me to buy a Sawstop. I have been using my ICS...
I have a couple of old Craftsman grinders, one is about 40 years old and one is probably 60 -70 years old that belonged to my Father.. Both are still going strong. However, when I needed a separate...
They have a great selection, at least they did the last time I was there some years ago. But if you buying something exotic or a larger quantity of material, you may want to bring the pink slip to...
I have built several sets of stairs, both interior and exterior. First of all, I don't use nails for attaching stringers, I use structural screws. If it's a situation where I think the structural...
I am surprised more people haven't mentioned Peterman's in Fontana. I live in western LA County and have a great hardwood and plywood supplier five miles away that is my go-to source for most...
Is it possible to relocate the blast gate? The added weight is not helping. I had the same arrangement on my ICS with no issues. As a matter of fact, the friction fit held everything in place but...
