So tomorrow I’m going to a Borg 70 miles away that only carries CABOT brand I need to get the above items there.Question is has anyone got any feedback on using the Cabot brand or MINIWAX or both?

31 days ago by OregonBurls | 16 comments »

I got this off the beach Yesterday. It is a hard wood and stinks. The back is like a stack of paper and the grain is somewhat like Mahagony. What do you think it is.!!http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy21/OregonBurls/Beachwood002-1.jpgThanksGreg

Dimentioned Lumber, How far to go?

132 days ago by Karson | 31 comments »

Damian posted a blog and was asking about dimensioning a board that was bowed. When I read his title I thought he might be asking my question. It wasn’t so I’m going to ask it here. When I buy wood at the sawmill I usually get 5/4 stock so that when it dries it’s still a little over 1” thick and can be planed to a great board. Sometimes the wood is 1 3/8 to 1 1/2” thick. Should all of this wood be planed to 13/16 or so. Or is it desirable to keep them thick...

Picture Upload Problems

181 days ago by Blair Helgason | 5 comments »

Is anyone else having troubles uploading photos when making a new project? I’ve made my pics low res and the file sizes are only about 128kb so I’m not sure why it’s taking so long to attach. The first one usually comes up in seconds but the next ones just stall. After about 7 or eight tries it seems to work but it doesn’t seem right. Any suggestions, thank everyone.

Quarter Round Display Shelf #4: Finishing Question

190 days ago by sIKE | 6 comments »

This is my first go around with finishing cherry. I have decided, based off of my previous blog in this series, to leave the sap wood alone. Currently I have been thinking about a base coat of shellac, followed by a couple of coats of BLO, then buffing it out with a couple of coats of wax. Opinions and/or recommendations are appreciated. I know this might be best posted over on the forum, but really wanted to keep the conversation centered around this blog…

Router Table #1: Design ideas, need some feedback

280 days ago by PurpLev | 34 comments »

OK, so yeah – another blog about a router table, but since I’m going to make one , might as well document it while I go, maybe someone can benefit from this. I’ve had a Rockler router table top + plate + fence which I got when I bought my router (Bosch 2 1/4hp). It had the misfurtune of being on the floor when my basement was flooded a couple of years ago, so that top was ruined. I since have been planning to replace it with a shop-built version, and make a full enclosed ...

Resume,If you have hired someone before please read

349 days ago by Joshua Howe | 22 comments »

Okay this maybe odd but, I have tried to get into a few different shops. I worked in one for a little while and I loved it but, I was working on commission and was having problems getting payed by the owner. My question is about my resume. I have always been very creative and know that I can do what ever a job would require. I also know the economy is in a hole right now. But I am going to post my resume and I would love some feed back. Please be very critical. I am an artist and have ...
