Do you have bumps on your surface?

What is this… “The Blair Wood Project”? Maybe you should turn off a few more lights in that shop, I could still see a little bit!

Thanks for the tips- keep ‘em coming!

@stumpynubs- HAHA maybe the next investment will be some overhead lighting. I could definetly use it!

Spooky!

Good advice though.

Thanks for the finishing tip. So, by using less light when applying the finish there will be less bumps? Just joking, I couldn’t help myself.

I use those same containers when they are “done” in the house. (Or I hide the lids!) Or my wife decides to donate them to the cause.

Thanks for the poly tips. The only thing I find frustrating with it is that you have to sand between coats. It seems to take forever to build up a good finish. Have you used wiping poly?

@britbox- I think it would have been spookier with brighter lights….you would’ve seen me :-)

@amagineer- my work is an illusion….I know how to get it nice and smooth and thats what matters! just kidding, wine bottle holders were delivered to their owners today which were gladly accepted.

@steve- what can I say, I like to recycle those containers. I try to buy the sandwich meat in those plastic containers “for future use in the house”. Seems they fit nicely in the shop. I have not tried wipe on poly, but I am ready to start experimenting with some different finishes. Will be building/filming a mission style quilt rack in the next weeks, will have to try something new. Enjoyed your shadow box video by the way.

I’ve never tried this, but apparently, “wiping poly” is simply regular poly that has been cut in half with mineral spirits. You can make your own that way. It’s a bit easier to apply but takes more coats. Well, now that I think about it, is there any advantage to that? Anyway, looking forward to more videos.

Good information. Thanks for sharing.

From my calculations though, it comes to 20% MS, not 25%.

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

@steve-yeah, sounds like the advantages are lacking. Next time I will try some laquer, easier for the build up.

@rance-hmmmm, seems as if you are correct. Looks like I left a part out. Usually though, the calculations go something like this…..a splash of this and a couple drops of that. Haha, thanks for your correction.
