    What type of Shoes to you wear in your Workshop?

    If you are going to wear running shoes be careful. Regardless of brand they come in different platforms. I started training and running 10K's at age 25. I have a high arch and a neutral platform. I found Asci's work best for me. I have been wearing this brand for over 50 years. I use mats over...

    Best all-around finish?

    I think a lot more importance should be placed on what the item is and where and how it will be used or displayed. The finished look you want is certainly important but will the finish stand up to the use and environment when all is said and done. One glass of iced tea placed on the wrong finish...

    Delta 50-850 dust collector ?

    I am looking for a Y connector to insert into one of the 2 ports on the DC. I have a 4" Y connector but it will not fit in the port on the DC. I am using the DC for my table saw, BS and ROS. Now I am having to change the hose each time I switch from BS to ROS. It would be easier to just open...

    cherry wood and the sun

    It did not solve the problem. The wood did not have a finish on it. I belonged to the York Woodworkers club at the time. I had suggestions from everyone, even John Leake. There was always a line.

    cherry wood and the sun

    I actually tried what you suggested. I tried many different ways. I never could make it work. I like to leave cherry its natural color and watch it age over time.

    Lye aging for cherry

    I am confused about using milk paint to age cherry. Years ago I had some old growth pine which I wanted to stretch as far as I could. I made a dinette table top out of the pine. I used polar for the skirt and legs and painted it with milk paint. This is my only experience with milk paint so how...

    Calculating BF used to make a cutting board

    When I looked at the spread sheet I took the numbers to mean BF They are not identified in any way. One second of rational thought would have made it clear it could not be BF. Just plan stupid. Makes me think of a line from a movie "stupid is as stupid does". This may be an all tine record for me.

    Calculating BF used to make a cutting board

    I am using walnut, cherry and maple. The latest board I am going to make Design JS calculated 16 board feet. The board will be end grain 18"x12". Someone please tell me what I am reading as BF is wrong. It would make me a lot happier to be wrong rather than spending that much money on cutting...
