 Electrolysis For Jappaning Removal?I’ve seen a lot of electrolysis to remove rust from iron. In the examples, I’ve seen the paint come off. I’m restoring hand-planes and wondering why the Jappaning will not come off, while some other paints (in you tube videos) seem to fall right off – with electrolysis? Will electrolysis remove the jappaning, or just “regular” paints? Sand Blasting - Hand PlanesThere is a lot of info here on L.J. I see some real nice work from you guys… Was wondering what kinds of sand blasting equipment you use for small tools. I looked on Harbor Freight and saw this: http://www.harborfreight.com/portable-abrasive-blaster-30979.html Will this work to strip off paint from a hand plane (and other small items) ? Or do I need something bigger like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/110-lb-pressurized-abrasive-blaster-95014.html Any help would be ...  Another Cutting Board DesignI am in the process of building another board and thought I would share my thinking process along with some build pictures. When I came up with the design for the Steps board, I was thinking about how one draws a 3D box on a piece of paper. You draw a large square, and then add small mitered edges to one corner to give the appearance of seeing it slightly from the side. Making these miters out of two different woods adds to the shadows, which adds to the effect. I did this for the Steps b...  Cutting board build blog.I recently uploaded pictures of a cutting board (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/30543) and several fellow LJs asked me to show how it was put together. Subsequently, Patron quickly deduced the process and wrote a nice blog showing the step by step process for how to achieve the pattern. I encourage anyone who is interested to take a look because he has some nice pictures outlining the process. http://lumberjocks.com/patron/blog/15074. I thought I would add a short amendment to his blog de...  sinister type cutting board tutorial #1: THANK YOU SINISTER , WHAT NICE BOARDS !i saw sinister’s cutting board last night ,http://lumberjocks.com/projects/30543and saw so many wondering how it was done ,i happened to have a bunch of exotic strips for something else ,and decided to do a board like his .to save him the trouble of drawing a tutorial for everyone about the build ,i took pictures of all the steps .i have sent him a PM asking his permission to post this ,while i await his response , i will be downloading into photobucket . .later ,no word from sinister y...  How to make a endgrain tumbling block butcher block board!Hi guys ,, I had a request to make a tutorial with regards the endgrain Tumbling Block Design.First off,.., You need to decide the size of the blocks…. for this example I used 1” stock… Or something similar.. actually just over .. once dressed. Set the blade of the table saw to 60 degrees.. a bevel box makes this simpleI use the INCRA fence system so it is easy to rip bevels off side of the blade.Once the bevels are ripped measure the length of the bevel and move the f...  Constructing a Modern Sofa Table - The VideoShare the Love This modern sofa table was built for donation to a charity fundraising auction. This slideshow was played to generate more interest in the table by highlighting the construction process. Generating more interest generates more money for the charity. The auction was a bit disappointing overall, but my table brought in the more money than anything else. Funds raised at the auction help support programs for people with developmental disabilities. The winning bidder ask...  Figured/Curly PurpleheartI couldn’t tell what the grain of this the 8/4×7” x 50” piece looked like because it was rough cut and dusty.I cut a strip off and the grain appeared to be not so straight. Ran it through the planer…chip out. Reversed the direction of feed…chip out. Looked very close and see this is swirly, curly and a bit knurly. I guess it must be sanded. Have any of you seen this grain in purpleheart?It was fresh from the planer so it hasn’t purpled up yet. ...  That's how the fight startedMy wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.I turned to her and said, “Do you want to make love?” “No,” she answered. I then said, “Is that your final answer?” She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying “Yes.” So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.” And that’s when the fight started…. —————————...  Right Angle Clamp JigsI had to do a glue up of a shoe rack for a friend today so I finally got around to making some right angled clamps. Design mostly inspired by Wood magazine. It is a tip most woodworkers are familiar with but is worth a frequent repeat. There are many ads out there for various types of right angled clamps. Most are made from plastic, some from aluminum and other metals. They are used to assist in keeping any box type project square while fastening. I didn’t feel like buying them so I ... |
