That's gorgeous Roger. Apple is some beautiful wood. Happy Easter,

I agree John. Glad it was not any worse. Ive had one or two near death experiences myself....sent a big chill down my spine......much more cautious now...sometimes when making a cut , Ill get an...
Olaf, ended up getting the epoxy mfg and/or sold by these folks https://eastcoastresin.com/ . Looks like decent epoxy. Thanks for your input.

Hello Art. 45 min - 1 hour.
Great info. Denatured alcohol, DNA presumably. Certainly cheaper that acetone. Olaf, Brice, where did you two get your epoxy resin, a+b mix? cost? the best I could find on amazon was approx $63...
Chris, my understanding is that this is an A+B mix (resin + hardener) this is referred to as "bar-top" that R. Shelby mentioned. all I know is that the link above is one of several instances on smc...
Pete, thats a good question....presumably, the acetone plays a role in this. https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?260510-Stabilizing-a-started-project&highlight=epoxy+nylon about half way...
Dave, when mixing the resin and hardener you are supposed to add acetone which thins it out...no too much tho. I dont have a specific link, but it is a technique found on smc. Upon thinning, the...
Turning some spalted maple and would like to use epoxy resin to stabilize the wood. Anyone got any sources they use that are just downright cheap? Max amount Im looking for is a 1 gal (total)...
Beautiful. Cocobolo is some neat wood.
As before John, you are welcome to come by here anytime. Please grab a piece or two maple as well. It was great to give you the 10 second tour of the shop. Glad you made it out alive. The wife...

Just wanted to take a second and let everyone know how much I appreciate their input. Anyway, I did end up running some 14/3 to the switch, and back out. It was a little tight at entry and exit,...
Just wanted to take a second to say thanks for everyone's input. Its been a huge help.

Thank you for the replies. I do have another ignorant question or two if you do not mind. Plan to use 12/3 SO corded with the foot switch. That hole is awfully small for one cord in and then back...
In an attempt to keep my shop cost down, Ive been trying to create an inexpensive switch for my HF DC. I saw a used Linemaster 632-DA foot switch for $10.50 and bought it. The problem is that it...
I like the way you think. Like the price too!

Thank you very much David.
