Here are a couple of pics. The hinge looks like a standard European style overlay hinge. The thing that has changed in the newer hinges is the way the hinge attaches to the mount plate: (1) these...

Hi,


I'm trying to find a replacement for an old (maybe 30 years) Knape & Vogt 35 mm flipper door hinge (just one hinge, not the sliders or the attachment mount). The replacement doesn't have to...

Hmm, another good idea. Thanks.

Yes, that could help.

Good idea. I don't have a Festool dust extractor but the concept could extend to a home made cart.

Yikes, that's what I'm worried about. Glad it wasn't too bad. Yes, I'm thinking of some sort of cradle on a rolling cart that I could move around as needed.

I've had a Domino 500 for a few months now and love it. But when I'm mortising a project and need to set the Domino down, I'm afraid the weight and stiffness of the dust extractor hose is going to...

I'm building a walnut credenza and am thinking about using epoxy to join the sides to the top/bottom. If I pre-finish the pieces with OSMO Polyx oil, would that make it easy to clean up glue...

Good idea. I have thought about some kind of clamp-on rotisserie-like holders with padding that could be used to rotate it.

I don't intend to use exactly the same process for the underside but I want it to have more than just a seal coat.

The base consists of two pieces that bolt to the top. Once the table is finished I will definitely have help moving it to its final resting place. But during the finishing process I expect to need to...

Thanks for the reply. This might just work for me. I'll have to think about it.

The reason for 2-3 times is that there are a number of discrete steps in the process that I want to complete for...

I'm working on a dining room table that is 9' long, 42" wide and about 1.5" thick. In order to do finishing I will need to flip the table top over 2 or 3 times solo. Has anyone successfully done...

Thanks for the info. It may be that, to remove the "ghosting", there need to be multiple applications and removal of the filler, with sufficient dry time between applications. That will be one of my...

Sam, did you resolve your issues? If so, could you tell us what you did?

If not, I can give some additional information that might be useful. I am trying to do exactly what you describe: create a...

Thanks, good suggestions.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I will post pictures when I'm done. It might be a couple of months because I'm waiting for my workshop to be finished. Right now I'm just experimenting out in the...

You know, that's a very good question. When I'm at the lumber yard I'll compare the prices and see if 8/4 would be just as good. One thought is that, when I laminate, I can glue the top and bottom...

Thanks for the comments! So these two comments introduce a couple of constraints that I didn't mention, for simplicity.

First, my daughter wants me to do a "cerused" finish to make the cathedral...

The intention is to use 3/4" solid wood, not ply.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it!

If you choose to use a rare earth magnet you can make it even stronger by putting it in a steel cup. These are often included with the magnets. The steel cup guides the magnetic flow lines,...

Right, leaves are not desired. I thought about veneering but was hoping that a simple lamination of 3/4 would work. Just not sure about bowing. It might be possible to add some longitudinal...

I need to build a 46" wide by 9' long dining table out of red oak. I plan to create a 1 1/2" thick top laminated from two layers of 3/4" thick boards. Non-glued dovetail cleats underneath the top...
