FastCap SoftWax Filler Kit
FastCap SoftWax is a wax filler kit designed to fill nail holes and small cracks. We all try to hide the nails, brads, and pins, but sometimes, only sometimes… we HAVE to fill the holes. This is a fantastic collection of colored waxes suitable for matching almost any hole. Use them on finished wood, and they easily blend to any color. I usually follow the kit instructions. For larger holes, I wrap a heavy paper towel around a felt sanding block, and polish the wax level with t...
OUTSTANDLY Comfortable "Protective Listening"
Blockade Ear Buds! Folks who use Work Tunes protective earmuffs, or the various clones, know how enjoyable listening to music or a podcast can be while working. I like my Work Tunes enough to have replaced them several times as I’ve broken them. Nowadays, I NEVER listen to the radio. My IPod, with over 1000 songs, and 50-100 hours of podcasts on a typical day, has completely replaced radio in my life. Like TiVO has changed my TV viewing, my IPod has made listening to the radio...
Not what you normally think of "Poly"
A year or so ago, a gentleman on another forum recommended this product to me for interior trim, doors, and cabinetry. Kwick Kleen Fast Dry Poly is a polyurethane finish that handles a lot like nitrocellulose lacquer. Before we go any further, let me say that you need spray gear to use this product.

Never lose your pencil, push stick, or finger tapes again!
Locker Mates baskets! I paid $1 or so each, at the local junk store. Simply a metal basket with a few rare-earth magnets. I bought these a few years ago, but noticed them today on the back to school displays. In the photos:- On the table saw, pencils, crayons, finger tapes (carver’s tape to prevent finger slices from jointed edges), and an engineer’s square.- One the band saw, a push stick for resawing, allen wenches that go with the saw, and a blade rounding stone.- On the...
Not just for Neanderthals!
Most of the time, woodworkers who use lots of power tools flip right by catalog pages, websites, and reviews of so called “specialty planes.” The Veritas Scraping Plane is a specialty hand plane that users of machinery need to give a serious second look. This is not to be confused with the Cabinet Scraper, which looks like a large spokeshave with a flat face and blade bowing screw. Some folks call the cabinet scraper a scraping plane, I’m sticking with the Veritas name...
