    Home based Chainsaw mill questions

    I am considering building a simple chainsaw mill at my house . First question; is there a way to have timber cut from personal wood stock at a saw mill and how expensive is this? Second is there an ideal size for chainsaw blade length? Or is it made to use.

    Trick for better water based finish results

    It's more of a cheat really... I mentioned it in the Jatoba thread but figured I'd share separately as well. A little history first: I build drums out of my shop...err... garage... My preferred method of applying finish is with an HVLP gun and my compressor. My spray area is about 3 feet away...

    Shop changes based on Shop Crawl feedback

    I was reminded at the picnic that I needed to report back on the shop reorg that started at the shop crawl in November. For those that were there I put a scaled graph paper in the middle of the shop and asked for ideas on rearranging it. Well no one was shy and I have implemented most of the...

    Water based finishes

    I would like to share a water based finishing system from target coatings (targetcoatings.com) that I think is not just as good, but better than any other I have used. I started out using waterlox oil based on cabinets, urethane based for high traffic and a nice french polish with dewaxed...

    Problems using alcohol based Transtint dyes

    I've dissolved the dye in denatured alcohol and both sprayed and wiped it, but I'm getting a lot of "spotting" and streaking from what looks like the solvent evaporating too quickly. The problem is that I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of these and getting the color on four different...

    Non-oil based deck sealant????

    Any recommendations for a non-oil based deck sealant. Oil-based products contain BLO or other soy based oils and they can be food for algae and mildew to grow on the deck surface. I have a 365 sq. ft. deck on the north side of my house. AFAIK it has never had anything done to it. It was pretty...

    Water Based Poly over Dyed Surface?

    I just dyed the surface of a TV Stand. I intend to apply water based ploy afterward. My question: Do I need to apply a sealer coat in between? Will the water based poly smear the water soluble dye? Thanks for any help. Qui

    PVC pipe based dust collection

    Knowing I needed some sort of dust collection but not seeing too many other systems around here, I opted to use PVC pipe for my shop lines. I bought a 2hp double bag setup, replaced the bottom bag with a clear plastic bag and made a remote on/off switch that sets above my workbench. After...

    Oil based stain & water based poly compatibility

    Water based finishes

    For those of you using the USL water based finishes, where is the cheapest place to get it. I saw some in Klingspoor that was a bit on the high side and only a quart at that. Their price on a quart is more than I have been paying for a gallon of pre-cat lacquer. Can't stomach that kind of...
