    Waterlox refinish question

    I built my dining room table back in 2015 and finished it with Waterlox original (the finish has held up great over the years) but when I made the table I made it with 90 degree edges which tend to dig into your arms when sitting at the table. I want to go back and add a small round over to the...

The finish is Minwax wipe on poly, which I ended up liking more than I thought I would. The original design did not...

    Stanley No. 5 Hand Plane

    Does anyone have a Stanley No. 5 they are looking to part with. I would like one that is complete and not broken, I am okay with restoring it. Everything on ebay seems to be either broken or fully restored and expensive.

    Workbench Advice

    I am finally in the process of building a new workbench. I have finished the top and I did it in 2 sections that are 3-3/4" thick x 11" wide x 75" long, heart pine.
