I agree with Brian's words. Top notch work, John and amazing attention to detail as always.

Price drop to $100.

Here's a vote to leave it as it is. I think it looks great and I wouldn't have thought about the overhang unless you told me. Your grain match on the top, your leg splay and taper, the carving. ...

Any finish will work as long as you apply only a single coat. I am partial to oil based varnish because it applies conveniently with a rag and can be rubbed in, and dries completely.

Figure increases price
Width increases price
Thickness increases price

$100/bf is very high, but possible for unique or rare wood.

It has been this hobbyist's experience that the most prized...

I use "9955 5" Abranet Grip Faced (Hook and Loop) Pad Protector - 5 per pack". It really saves the backer. I am still using the original backing pad on my sander (prob 10 yrs old by now).

Arm R Seal is a better product IMHO. I experience it to be more durable. It applies about as easily as Minwax's wipe on poly.

Your other option is to purchase full strength Minwax polyurethane...

Delta DP300L: $125.00

Works well.

I originally finished my basement without a permit and added a bathroom that I DIY'd. The issue for me is not the quality of the work, but the liability. In my town, once you are code approved in my...

Waterlox Original Sealer Finish (make sure you get "Original Formula" not "VOC formula") is can be applied exactly as you do your ArmRSeal. It's just a wiping phenolic varnish. High Gloss Finish...

My money's on the clamping. If you are able to get good results @ 90, your blade should be able to perform @ 45.

@ 45, though, less of your finger pressure keeps the piece registered to the...

That's "Honduran" mahogany or so I was told when sold. It is definitely not sapelle.

I used Waterlox Original Sealer Finish (Original formulation).

Are you building a film? OSF tends to...

I also leave it in the gun all day and then clean each night as John does. I do have to pick the scab off the nozzle b4 each session, tho. If I'm spraying in the winter, I bring both the gun/cup...

Waterlox. I did this yesterday. YMMV.

John, which OB varnish are you using?

My initial instinct is to use Waterlox. It's on the darker side of the OB varnishes.

Or, dying with Amber Additive Transtint followed by your OB varnish?

What are you thinning with?

That's interesting.
I sprayed these two products for a bathroom vanity. I also used a Fuji Minimite 4 with the stock tip (I think it's 1.3?)

I am using the PPS conversion cup, though. I am not...

Urban legend, I suspect. I doubt the brew master was the one responding to the letters.

Also, how clever can they be if they want to brew Coors-like beer?

All these are great suggestions.

Don't be tempted to drink it.

Use gloves.

If using it in shellac, test a small batch first to make sure there's not excessive water in it. In practice, it's...

Like Jim I have no favorite. One thing that helps keep it fresh is to get a supply of disposable micro pipettes. This way you don't have to tip the bottle and gum up the threads or a nozzle.

If...

Soda. And nowadays it's only Club Soda for me.

I've never had a dowel or domino split a panel by swelling from the moisture in the glue.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I am certain it happens. To say that it happens frequently is what I question. I'm not negating your contacts' experience, just countering with my own.

Personally, if someone showed up with a...

I've used EM9300 and EM8000cv. Both are fairly easy to apply. I find the 8000 a little bit easier. The polycarbonate 9300 is whiter going on. IMHO, the yellow of the 8000 - even with the cross...

I doubt that statistic. A parent may drive their kid to an interview, but highly doubt almost any are going in with them. I've never interviewed a gen-z with their parent, and none of my kids'...
