About 10 years ago i tried to dye PVA glue with transtint dye. That was a disaster.
yeah, a glue that would burn thru a finish would be a disaster with squeeze out. But I still wonder if there is such a glue/finish combo.
I prefinished parts for a project with shellac that I dyed. I taped off the glue surfaces so they would be bare wood to glue. But I missed taping one surface so it got shellaced. I did sand off the...
I’m a firm believer in standard work. In other words something that you’ve deemed important, and thus, you do everyday. For me that is having a clean and organized shop. To that end everyday I sweep...
Interesting use of lock miters. I haven’t seen that before. I’ll keep it in the old memory bank.
512612512613Thanks to all.
I built these a bit different than most builders. I’ll just say to get the piston fit on the joints and inlays required exacting precision as any accumulated error would...
I attached my shop to my house. I designed it to be an obvious expansion to the living space. It also looks very nice with the current architecture. If you think a bit outside the box I think you can...
I built the first cherry/maple one as my first attempt:
Then the second mesquite one as a gift:
And finally another cherry/maple as a commissioned Christmas gift:
Typical inside:
I haven’t found any thing on the internet showing it’s use for template routing. I plan to replace my router lift and if this would be adaptable to template work it could be an option. I’ll keep...
Can this be used for template routing to or is it just for joint making?
thanks folks. I ordered a set of Soss hinges and a few barrel/cylinder hinges to try.
Yes maybe. I researched them but one review said that they are a bit loose. I wonder if they will be precise enough. I’m looking for that piston fit when the lid closes. I may just have to order a...
I’m in process of building a couple humidors. I’m now at the point where I need to purchase a couple of hinges. I know normally a quadrant hinge is used in the corners of the box. But I wanted to...
Dang, I just spent all my fun money on some other really cool stuff. I could use another bandsaw set up for curvy work.
I'm sure you are going to find the best layout for your needs. I went through the entire process last year also. I tried hard to get my slider positioned so the outrigger would utilize the ally...
It's just me I know but I'd go nuts with my machines at an angle to the room. I just gotta have everything square and straight to the walls. I did consider putting my slider at an angle but I...
Do you have a thread on the rebuild? I have a 66-48 crouch that needs a bit of work too.
Yes pallet jacks are worth the storage space they take. I keep mine under my scrap drums.
Back in the day, before the strict safety rules of today, we used to peddle them around the shop like a big...
I think it would be appropriate for all of us to help Jim to decide what to do with his old shop space.
I vote for a nice dedicated metal shop. Mill, lathe, bandsaw, welder, tube bender, cut off...
Ot looks to me that when you get the old space all cleared out you will have a nice place for a-a-a- Wood Shop! Or maybe a dedicated Metal Shop!
Are you going to have an air drier? I'm going to add one to my shop in the near future. This time of year my air is quite wet.
put me in tooooooo
Before retiring I worked for the 3M Co. for 34 years. The video takes me back to those days. Thanks for the link.
Zactly what I do
