Totally missed the announcement this time. So much for an early Santa.
ASIDE: I live in t-shirts, so there are all kinds of them for shop rags - oil rags, wipe-on finishing rags, cleaning rags. A never ending free supply of absorbent, lint free rags in all your...
Stow the brushes. Get a piece of old t-shirt and use the wipe-on method (a little practice first - and a thinner cut for the polyurethane).
PayPal connection doesn't seem to be working. Have tried several times today. I can access PayPal separately through my own PayPal account. Cannot get there through the DONATE button.

As John suggests, then follow by sealing it with shellac, followed by a good poly like Arm-R-Seal (satin or gloss, as you prefer)?
It helps if I tilt the board in the vise so that the series of cuts from one half of the lines are vertical. Cut all those lines that are vertical. Then reposition the board so that the lines for the...
When you're all done, let us know what you chose and how it turned out. Pics too if possible.
My choice for toughness, etc. would be 3 or 4 wipe-on coats of GF Arm-R-Seal varnish - satin (or gloss if you prefer). Easy peasy and holds up in virtually any situation. Can also give it a coat of...
Thanks, Rob.

Ooops. Was focused on the calipers, not the other gadget. My apologies.
No subscriptions here. I can read 3 or 4 of them online through my public library.
Please count me in for the router bit drawing. Thanks to U.S. Router Tools for the drawing and their support of Sawmill Creek.
Beautiful organ. Envy your patience and talents.
When all else fails, try one or more bags of activated charcoal with the lid closed. Available on line for about $10/bag. Lasts a month or more. If no longer active, bags can be reactivated. I think...
What the ink base for the image? Make a test on the side to see if the solvent in the finish will affect the image. Some inks will dissolve and bleed with an oil base or shellac pre-finish. If so,...
Are all those water stained? What is the discoloration? Natural or stains?
Rob,
Thanks for the comfort and keeping us all sane (or is it insane?). We love you, babe.

I was going to mention that you need rattan strips. I am not sure, but I think they might be soaked in water to make them pliable for wrapping but don't quote me. Just might be a help in doing your...

Same here. Also combined dowels and oak slats to make some planing stops.
I just used some TiteBond Hide Glue that is 5 years old. Bought the 8 oz bottle so that was a help keeping the air contact down. Worked fine. One corner opened on me but that was because i think I...
Lo, some just love shelf princesses.
