Thanks again guys, and apologies if I stirred up any debate. As Dan said this is more of a glorified trim project rather than furniture so I’m just trying to build it out in a way that won’t look...

Thanks guys. Would there be any issue with doing small pilot holes and coating the screws in some epoxy? I know you guys are the experts but I still feel nervous about sending #10 screws into...

Hi all,
I'm making a modern style valence in my kitchen to span a section over the sink between wall cabinets. I'm fastening an 8ft long 7" tall 8/4 walnut board to the wall against the ceiling. ...

Apologies for the delay. I baked some Salmon, then took grease/oil from the pan and put it on the wood. I left it overnight and the next day I could wipe it away without any effect on the finish. ...

To follow up I let water, ketchup, and coke sit on it for over an hour with no effect. Then out of curiosity tried putting acetone on a paper towel and rubbing it. Nothing came off and no...

John, many thanks for that answer. I do have a sample that I've been using as a coaster specifically to look at durability and haven't seen any issues yet. This would have simply been a "for good...

Hi all,
I'm nearing the end of a kitchen remodel - modern style, frameless cabinets with slab doors. Half of the doors/drawer faces are European walnut veneer. Whatever finish they've applied...

As a side note, be careful with the mindset that you'll get one good router and be set. You'll probably end up wanting a pair of routers. One larger traditional router, and one small compact...

I'm not a pro, so take anything from me with a grain of salt, but to add I've found that having two different lasers is far more versatile that one device crammed with different lasers. For example,...

I've noticed older styles definitely trend among woodworkers. I think I'm in the minority in liking modern styles, and have noticed there aren't nearly as many resources for building modern style...

I’ve used that to laminate Formica to plywood for an aquarium cabinet. Following the directions, the bond was definitely permanent and even after 8 years would be impossible to remove. I suspect it...

I once used what I thought was a decent birch ply from HD for an aquarium cabinet build. After selecting some sheets that appeared as flat as possible, it wasn't until I was home that I realized how...

I wondered the same as I just bought a used ICS that was manufactured in 2008. 2008 was shortly after they switched from the old clear cartridge to newer blue cartridge (which if I recall was 2006)....

The practice is definitely helpful, especially to hone a technique for cleaning up the edges. My slab also came with the bark. I found that a two handled bark stripping knife was invaluable, and...

I think that's going to be a difficult situation especially with the slabs only being an inch thick to begin with. The one time I built a live edge table I specifically went with a 2 in thick kiln...

Yes I think that can work as long as you realize the bond in the epoxy will no longer be a chemical bond to the previously cured epoxy, and will now be a micro-mechanical bond, meaning you'll want to...

What about spreading a polyurethane adhesive like PL?

Justin I think Tom was referring to Ron's post about the 940lb belt sander. I disassembled the ICS down to just the cabinet with left and right wings removed, which according to the sawstop specs is...

Are you doing this as a tinted but transparent pour, or is it opaque? You can definitely do a thin pour depending on the epoxy, but my biggest concern would be producing a visible transition layer...

Thanks guys, I’ll give them another call tomorrow. I suppose I was asking partly out of interest in shared experiences.

Hey guys,
I had held off purchasing a table saw until I was ready to get a Sawstop PCS. Last week though I stumbled on a used 3hp Sawstop ICS being sold locally and purchased it. I called Sawstop...
