OK, ok, you guys have guilted me into losing the slop in the mortises and orienting the tenon faces for long grain adhesion. Good tip on dry clamping and striking the index line across both pieces. ...
The project is a 68 x 23 vanity cab, inset doors/drawers. with a 1" solid wood top + sink. All that load will transfer to four legs tapered to 1.25" sitting on a tile floor that is not perfectly...
Hi, I'm building a cabinet with 1.75" square face frame members and two 8 x 50mm dominoes at each joint oriented to optimize resistance to racking. The mortises at the stile will be 8mm so no wiggle...
I tightened to the factory spec....thanks for the replies.
Hi Rod, yes Byrd recommends 50 in/lbs. Doesn't seem tight enough considering the speed and force of wood on cutter.
I'm rotating the carbide cutters on a Byrd spiral cutter head for my 8" jointer. I'm using a Tekton 2-way click wrench. The recommendation is 50 inch lbs but it doesn't "feel" tight enough. I can...
I'm having trouble finding quality L style hex wrench sets, metric and std, that don't have a ball on the long end. My old set is Tekton straight both ends in an awesome convenioent folding case. ...
Straight edge, clamps, and a router.
Cost. I don't cut anything that requires a 12" blade.
Looking for a couple of sources for high quality 10" mcombo and crosscut/plywood blades bored for Hammer K3.
Thanks
I guess I should have stated up front that I already have the paint to match the shop exterior...it's Behr House and Fence Solid Color Stain and it says it's "Resin Type: Oil-Latex" and recommends an...
I'm planning top seal some exterior cabinets with Helmsman oil based spar varnish. I'd like to topcoat with an oil-latex paint to match the existing shop exterior. Has anyone tried this? Would I...
I've used Sagulator many times over the years, it's a helpful tool. I've always wondered, however, why it doesn't allow for both front AND read shelf edging instead of just front edge in calculating...
My supplier in Central Oregon has inventory...no shortages yet.
I'm cleaning my Accuride 3832 slides, using WD40 to loosen the gunk before wiping clean. Any recommendations on what lubricant to use? Accuride recommends "bearing grease" but that covers a wide...
I'm looking for tips/ideas on how to mark a curved bottom rail to be cut on the bandsaw. I attached a dresser pic as an example of what I'm planning to do. Specifically, how do you draw the curve...
I was considering Bosch until I noticed a number of reviews complaining that the sandpaper tended to fly off the disk. Was a common complaint across several websites.
I bought the Dewalt and...
Thanks to all. Actually, I was coming at this from a different angle. My 12 year old Porter Cable finally quit and I'm looking for a replacement. I have a sizable inventory of 5" 8 hole paper...
Does anyone know if standard 8-hole sandpaper for ROS will fit a Festool 5" ROS? Looking at the pics, it appears the Festool sander holes don't align with std 8 hole paper.
Getting back to my original post, I'm looking for input from cable users on whether a single heating cable in the gutter is sufficient in their situation. Adding a second gutter cable increases the...
My home is 14 years old and compliant with energy codes at the time, however there may be opportunities to add more insulation and I'll look into it. I believe a bigger problem is that the attic is...
I'm planning to install deicing cables along the roof eave, valley, 4gutters, and downspout over my garage to eliminate ice damming and allow the melted water to flow down to the ground. I've looked...
Makes sense on the sealcoat, John. On the transtint, have you come up with a recipe that emulates garnet shellac?
+1 on Arm-R-Seal. Personally, I wouldn't use a water based poly on a nice furniture piece...to me it has a plastic appearance, but then I'm only familiar with General Finishes Enduro Clear Poly, and...
