Your bandsaw vibrates like crazy. That’s not right. I’d track that down, and fix it.
If I understand you, you're going to fill the opening with sheet goods. If you do that, aren't you using just the first 4 feet of the container, and leave the rest of the container empty?
The...
Maybe you’re too far from the workpiece? For waterborne in my HVLP, I aim for 6-8 inches.
Ounce is a weight -- something you could measure with your scale. Fluid ounce is a measure of volume. System 3 should be clear about which they mean.
You might consider changing the half-lap joints to this. You dado the sides of the stretcher so that it has shoulders to lean against the upright. This gives a lot more resistance to racking than a...
You could use any waterborne acrylic clear finish, and tint it with white universal colorant. Mixol offers small units. Cal-tint makes 16-oz jugs. That’s what house painters buy.
I have a Norseman set, based on recommendations on this forum. They’re okay, they have one feature that makes me a little nuts. For bits 3/16” and larger, the shank is not round. Norseman grinds...
While you’re pencilling this idea out, you should be using realistic prices for purchased lumber. If you’re thinking $15 per board foot for oak, you’re shopping in wrong place. I’m in the Bay Area...
Baltic birch holds screws well. If you're using sidemount slides, screw holding matters. I can't tell if your 1/2" plywood has MDF layers. You might try a test: drive screws and try to pull...
Here's a youtube about it. The guy makes it seem a little more challenging than what it actually is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJL7l_QtNv8
Notice that there's no bending of the wood. ...
Don’t spray the standard oil-based varnish. The overspray will make sticky mess all over your shop. In contrast, sprayed waterborne is drying as it leaves the gun, and is mostly dust by the time is...
There's another way to build the curved shape, and it does not involve bending the wood. You bricklay the rough shape, and then bandsaw it to the final shape. With no bending involved, the...
Magnetic attraction diminishes greatly with distance. You’ll want your knives touching the magnets, not spaced out by the 1/4” you’re proposing. Take a look at commercial knife holders.
You need to run the untwister from corner to corner.
Nice! Does the cabinet hang on the wall, or is it supported by the speakers flanking it?
Well, it is still going to look like plywood. The end grain is a different color from the face grain, even with dye on it.
A different way to get the bullnose effect is this. You build the drawer box with dovetails. Then you put a round over bit in the router table -the kind with a bearing at the tip. Then you flip the...
I bought one of these last year, and I'm quite impressed. ...
Any golden rule is just a guideline. The important thing is that your diners can sit comfortably at the table. Draw yourself out a diagram like I made, using whatever dimensions fit your vision. ...
Here's a possible fix: move the legs so they're about 6" away from the corner. You get space for two additional diners at the extended table. The elbows of the diners at the ends of the table are...
When I'm designing a dining table, my rule of thumb is that each diner should get 24" of table edge. I found this rule by experiment. At a dining table, I sat next to another person. We moved...
If I'm following correctly, the legs are at the corners of the retracted table, right? And they don't don't move when the table get extended? The extensions essentially will add 12" to the each end...
If the cookies are a full circle, there's almost no hope that they will not split radially as they dry.
You should clamp the width of the drawer and the front-back direction. That will prevent the parts from sliding apart. Use as many clamps as you find necessary to close the joints tightly. ...
