    Hi Bernie,
    Havn't been on here for a while. looks like you've been quite prolific recently. Stopped to visit Mike (bagtown)in Sackville last week. He wasn't in, and my wife and I had a great meal in his eating establishment. Sackville is a beautiful university town, to Mount Allison University.

    Removing stains… Hi folks! While refinishing an old piece for a daughter-in-law (removed old finish with cabinet scarper and sanding [ up too 150 grit], I'm up against a wall. I took the maple piece apart and pieces look great.
    So far, I've used no chemicals. But the top surface has a couple of old stains from spills etc. How can I remove these without sanding deep? My own research says to use oxalic aciid with no worries. Another source says to use borax to neutralize the acid before staining. I just want a nice finish but I'm cautious. A few products in my past have stated "sustainable…" but have left me in a mess. Any advise?

    Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

    God Bless

    Hi there,
    Welcome to LumberJocks… I joined the site myself almost a year ago and will give you fair warning, this site is VERY ADDICTIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, and VERY FUN…. so sit back, enjoy the ride and learn from the other LJ's as they are a group of extremely talented people that are also very friendly…

    Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us…

    Jointer not required… My workshop is the ultimate "man cave" but it has limitations… like size. I know it's bigger then some very nice workshops I've seen, but a 24 X 24 workshop means you can't have all the tools. One I don't own is a jointer and until today, I always worked with finished lumber. A few weeks ago, I bought rough cut lumber from a yard sale. I did inherit a 12 inch planner from my Dad and have hardly used it. It's a benchtop model (Makita) and today I dusted it off and planed down an oak board. The edges were a bit rough so I tacked on a piece of plywood overlapping one of the uneven (a concave edge) and ran the plywood on the fence creating a perfect edge on my oak board. I flipped it over, removed the ply and made a straight edge on that concave edge. Now I've got me a milled oak board.

    Thanks for the WELCOME! I think I might like this Lumber Jock site very much. I know I can learn from you enthused woodworkers and I'm confident I might add a few worthy inputs, but I need to feel my way around our site. Looking forward to making some woodworking friends.
