Rubio Monocoat - good, bad, ugly - what is the skin

Sweet! Good to know. I'd been getting it from a flooring company that also had all of the pigmented options as well but them and Amazon seem to be going through a bit of a dry spell at the moment.

Rubio Monocoat - good, bad, ugly - what is the skin

It's definitely expensive, but a little goes a long way. You'll want to make small batches and keep your lids tight because air exposure will cause it to skin over in the cans. I prefer to use Osmo PolyX and get identical results for a fraction of the cost and there's no mixing involved. Only...

Looking for Pecky Cypress

Hi guys, It looks like it’s been a little while since this question was posed, but does anyone have pecky cypress for sale? I have a request for a 5’ square table top and am looking to source material for the job. Any help is appreciated!

Total Shop Planer?? similar to the Delta -380?

I can't find much on it other than people looking for parts to fix them, but its an interesting looking machine. I wouldn't make a trip for it, but if you're already out that way it wouldn't hurt to see what happens when you run a board through it.

It's HOT outside.

Fortunately the guy that owned this house before me put a window shaker in the barn that I converted to a woodshop. Unfortunately, neither of us did anything in regards to insulation so my AC either runs all day long or it's immediately 90+ degrees in the shop. Maybe this fall will be the one...

Triad SHOP CRAWL - August 17th 2019

Dang it. My wife is on call that weekend, so I have to hang back with the kids. Sorry for jumping the gun as I was excited to meet other woodworkers in the Triad. Hit me up if anyone is near Eden/Draper as the only woodworking buds I've got are down in Winston.

Kreg Adaptive Cutting System

I've seen a few people using it lately and have heard nothing but good things about it. I don't see any reason why the table wouldn't work with other tracks, and this is loosely on my radar as an option to speed up my cuts with the Makita tracksaw. The table and base seem to be available for...

Need a new Miter Gauge for TS

I went with the Incra 1000HD after getting fed up with cheap miter gauges. It pays for itself in accuracy and it's probably the last miter gauge I'll ever need to buy.

New Member in Eden

Hey everyone! I moved to Eden from South Florida about a year and a half ago. I've dabbled in designing and building things forever, but didn't really catch the woodworking bug until about 5 years ago. I got into the craft when my girlfriend asked if we could bring a chicken home from the fair...
