It will be indoor

I'm making an elevated dog dish out of pine for a friend. What would you use to finish a piece like this? Not sure to go with a spar varnish, or a standard poly. Other recomendations would be...

That's what the plan calls for. By frame, I'm talking case sides and top and bottom. It's the design style from Woodsmith #159. I don't have the magazine, but I found the cut list on-line as a...

I am making a bookcase and the frame calls for 3/4" hardwood ply (probably going to use oak). I will be assembling using pocket screws. Would I use coarse or fine thread screws on the plywood? I am...

Thanks again for the info. Floor is getting put in probably Mon and hopefully a full functioning bathroom in the near future.

I am not a plumber and my plumbing skills are just about none. So, would someone please provide insight to me on these couple of questions. FWIW, I'm updating my bathroom and will be laying down a...

Thanks to all for the info. General consensus seems to be a new blade is needed for the task. Time to go shopping.

Thanks to all replies. Good idea on blade. I've gotten by with my results so far, but it's all been on 4/4. If I'm going to start using thicker stock, it may be time to add another blade.

I have a Jet Proshop. I have no problems with 4/4 oak or maple. I have no experience with 8/4 stock at all. I have some cutting boards on the menu and wanted to get started tonite. I milled an 8/4...

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but we'll give it a shot. I want to put blown insulation in my attic. There is a floor in my attic, so I will have to lift boards to get to it. I will...

I've turned a few bats. I've been able to track the fungos (used by coaches for fielding practice) I've turned as I personally know the coaches who use them. The ash fungos that have seen service...

FWIT, I got a good deal on a 6" Craftsman about a year ago when Steel City closed up shop in Pittsburg and moved elsewhere. I have to rip some rough boards with the circ. saw before jointing and...

Sorry for another TS setup question, but I couldn't find an answer to this on the search. This is a general question for future reference that popped into my head while messing around in the basement...

Thanks for all the input. I like the pics of the caster mechanism earlier in the thread. I also like the idea of the slide out assembly table. I'm thinking more along the lines of the movable bench...

I have been searching workbench designs for a while and thought I was settled on the "traditional" style workbench (mine would be 30" x 78") made from hard maple w/bench dogs and a vise. However, a...

Has anybody ever bought lumber online through Constantine's Wood Center out of Florida? If so, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am in need of solid 2"x24" wood to complete a project. Preferably in ash or maple. Where do you buy wood with these requirements from?
I'm locacted in south central PA if that makes a difference....

I bought the jet proshop a few months back. I'm more than satisfied with it. No problems yet. I would recommend it. not sure if its out yet, but I believe they were adding a riving knife in the near...

I worked in the paper industry for a while. The mill was recycled paper (ie paper from paper, no virgin pulp). There was quite a bit involved to get it just right (chemistry lab was on premise)....

[quote=Burt Alcantara;891973]As a recreational shooter I use Howard Leight ear muffs and plugs. Their ear muffs are rated over 30db. Most of the time I opt for the MAX plugs, rated at 33db. If I need...

The prism, and the dug are really tempting when with 1 sheet. These look like just pure FUN!!! The portugese style dinghy (1.5 sheets) is looking like a nice small fishing boat. Haven't acted on...

I was messing around looking at boat designs as something new to try. I came across a bunch of plywood designs. Some were from 2 sheets, some 1.5 sheets, and some from only 1 sheet. Anybody ever do...

I've owned this planer for about a year. I've had no major complaints with it for hobby use...until today. I went to plane a board and it wouldn't take the wood. I tried several attempts. It just...

Dee,
Nice looking pen. Ditto Ken's remarks from above. You may want to think about retiring that 1st pen. I was always a believer that if I made it, I'm going to use it. However, I've become quite...

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm looking at the ones from Griz and the Baracuda line from PSI. It received pretty good marks in a relatively recent (past year or so I beleive) Wood Magazine. There...
