    I think another option would be to spray a barrier coat of the Target sanding sealer between the 6500 and the poly. I didn't try this, and in theory it should be totally unnecessary, but maybe it...

    I had this exact issue with the same combination of finishes (minus the crosslinker). My initial assumption was that the 6500 wasn't dry enough. After peeling the entire 2 layers of 9000, sanding...

    I built a pair of carriage doors, each 4'x8', and used engineered 2x4s rather than KD. I'd recommend doing that, since all of them were perfectly straight and flat - KD 2x would definitely not be....

    Are you sure the level is straight? I know at least one of my decent longer levels is not, and pittsburgh is a HF brand right? I'd joint a good piece of maple and use that if you don't have any other...

    Asian longhorn beetles have done a number on ash trees around here. Even a major lumberyard I use is not selling ash unless ordered by the unit.

    I would guess that the yard has a double (or 4-) sided planer. If they also offer millwork, they might use a molder. If you can get your lumber S2S, S3S, or S4S, then they probably have the...

    We've got an older 35hp White 4wd with pto, 3pt hitch, and bucket. Its great. I think White went out of business in the late 90's, but I see them used and parts are available pretty easily.
