Bill, the finish is Arm-R-Seal Gloss, thanks everyone for you comments!
I'm curious, what would a table like that fetch price wise? Simply stunning!
Hey all,
So a very nice guy and expert builder named Charles Neil has been helping me get my top/finish problems sorted out and it is coming along nicely. I wanted to go ahead and post where I am...
Just an update, with the second coat of arm r seal gloss it looks a lot better but still kinda streaky so I am hoping more coats takes care of it. I am using a brown paper bag between coats to get...
Point taken, I will put on a lot more coats and see thanks.
Hey guys,
Sorry it has been so long, I was reading all your posts since I "took a break". I haven't been down in the shop in months, I was just burned out with the table. It was sad actually I...
Hey Todd, yes I did do the seal-a-cell first, it looked the same way, blotchy. :mad:
Thanks guys, I just have a hard time believing surface prep, I started at 100 grit then 120/150/180 and finished with 220, it was baby butt smooth, heck it was perfect...I am worried that the waxed...
I don't own a belt sander, I used a PC ROS to take down the arm-r-seal finish and start again...
No joke guys, I am so sick of this table I am ready to light it on fire. I'm sooooo pissed, anyway, hoping you can help maybe. The attached picture is an upclose shot of the problem I keep running...
Yeah, I thought about that, good idea too...Not sure exactly where the legs will fall yet, maybe some more planning before trying to figure this out :p
That is an awesome way to attach the legs to the aprons and I think that is exactly what I will do, so thanks! But the orginal question is how to attach the curved front apron, and the side straight...
Hmm, not real sure how I would do that, it seems that would be harder then any of them b/c of the curved and straight mating surfaces? I just thought some more about it, and may a miter joint...
Hey guys,
Ok, so I have finally started my hall table as a compliment to my coffee table I just finished. My wife had a special request that has thrown me for a loop and not sure what to to. I...
Nice, now slice that thing up and flip the strips end over end and rotate them to the endgrain up and it would get reaaaaallll fancy, nice job!
Dewey, sorry didn't notice your question until now...The finish actually wasn't that bad, I just started with 400 grit and mineral oil with light sanding, then moved to 800/1000 and finished with...
Must be a marajuana joke right :D Thanks for the comments guys!
Jeremy,
It is not Marijuana, it is a maple leaf, I researched it before doing it, but they do look similar so I guess the jokes will come.
Thanks guys, I wish I could take better photos, she is really pretty in person :) I love the way it feels "rubbed out", it is glass smooth on the top, never done one like that before.
Well here she is after my shellac was rubbed out on the top, still some to do, but mostly complete. I am no photographer I apologize, I had to put some blankets down or the glare from the floor was...
Hey guys,
Ok, so here is where I am at, let it cure about a week and then started to rub out. Started out with 400, then 800, 1000, 1500 (all with mineral oil) and then compound. The compoud...
Take a look at my old thread, lot of great info, I did what Bob Feeser recommended and it made my top look like brand new, thanks again Bob!:
