    Touching up paint on a table saw

    Sort of off-topic.....I bought a new table saw last week (re-gloat...getting extra mileage out of this one!). It works perfectly, but there are three spots on the front rail where the paint is damaged. The damage is very minor - maybe 1/32" square, if that. But, it's pretty deep, goes through...

    There is no lead paint on these...

    and they weren't made in China. A fun little project from some white pine I brought from Germany over 7 years ago when we moved back to the US. I think my Grandson might get one for Christmas.:eusa_danc

    Old Latex paint use

    Before you sticker green wood take some old latex paint and dump in in an old container that is as big as your wood, and dip the ends in the paint. This picture is two years old with no spites.

    paint grade?

    This is a simple box for a christmas present. This is considered "paint" grade at the shop where I build cabinets. I knew there was a reason I kept working there.
