Epoxy and a drum sander question... - 10 replies The top on my current project features a couple fairly significant knots that we’ve decided not to remove. Instead I’m planning on filling them with a pour on clear epoxy—the kind you might pour on a bar top.

I’m not 100% certain of the species as I happened into it due to a shipping mistake and the supplier didn’t want to pay for its return—but it looks like their online pics and they don’t carry anything else similar.

Looking for Compressor Advice - 9 replies So I’ve been casually watching Craigslist for months for a used compressor, 60-80Gal, with at least a 12-14 SCFM @90, which I think would be what I’d need to be able to use a moderate-sized sander. I’m planning on installing a central system using either copper or Chemaire. First, am I right about the size? Would something s... |

Potential customer wants to turn riding saddles into bar stools...thoughts? - 10 replies The other day a woman stopped by the shop with a request. She runs a not-for-profit organization that uses horseback riding to help children (I forget the specifics – physical and/or mental deficiencies I believe). In any case, she has a pile of saddles that were donated through the years—but they’re too large and/or the wro... |
