    Ambrosia

    I was given a hundred board feet or so of ambrosia maple for Christmas. I've been trying to come up with ideas of how to use it. Too much of it in one large piece like a table may be overpowering. Has anyone used it in projects that you would be willing to share? So much thought went into...

    Bees killing my boxes

    Ok. So a couple months ago I built several bee hive boxes with kiln dried yellow pine. I used box joints and Titebond III glue. I also put a nail in the end of the box in each of the second joints (four nails per end, one joint up from bottom and down from top). I did not put any nails in the...

    How do you get a factory finish with oil base paint

    I am getting ready to spray the outside of some cabinets I've made and I started with a Zinnser primer. I have an Earlex 5500 and an oil base white paint. When using latex, I've added floetrol, thinned and also added a minwax polycrylic to the paint with good success. How can I get that same...

    Dust Collector

    Does anyone have advice on a which dust collection system to buy? I've looked at many including the Clear Vue Cyclone. I don't like the fact that it has to bolt to the wall. I like a lot of the other features though. If you have a separate fine particle filter, does it matter that much if...
