    Toe in the Water

    I placed the proverbial toe in the water today. WoodArtz was kind enough to let me look over his shoulder as he created a bowl. He is a very good instructor and the hands on training was quite fun, yet much, much harder in application than what you seasoned veterans make it look like...

    Norton Water Stones

    Back in the summer I bought the David Charlesworth DVD's on sharpening and using hand planes. I got inspired! I ordered a set of Norton Water Stones and a couple of Hock 2" plane irons for wooden planes from Highland Woodworking. I plan of making a couple of wooden planes. Just tried the...

    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

    Water Heater Pilot Light ...

    I've been out of town this week and got the call yesterday from the LOML saying the water is all cold. Obviously the water heater wasn't warming ... and today I returned home to confirm no pilot light. Now I don't know much about these things, but it look fairly straight forward. Put the knob...

    Which water based poly finishes do you use?

    I am used to using either the Arm R Seal & Seal a Cell or BLO/Behlens Rock Hard Varnish...all wiped on. I would like to move to water based for my next project but have not used any in the past. I was wondering what water based poly finishes you folks use, how you apply the finish and if you...

    Cleaning up water damaged maple furniture

    There's one thing about used furniture, you get what you pay for. So what I got was some twin bed frames of red maple that has some black stains on the posts(appears to be water damage). Being a brave woodworker I thought I could refinish them and have something nice( and a good woodworking...

    Oil based stain & water based poly compatibility

    Are they compatible??? I have a project where I want the durability of poly without the off gassing, and I would like to stain it with a oil based stain that I've used for other pieces for a good match. Dave:-)

    Water dammage

    I recently got this walnut (I think) antique drop leaf table. It's in excellent shape except for the water spots on the top. I really don't want to strip and refinish it and lose the patina. Does anyone know how to get rid of the spotting without ruining the rest of the finish?

    Carolina Water Ash

    We went to the Museum of Natural History today. (Still trying to get to know the area), and of course, I had to stop by the area that displayed native NC trees. I will post the others in my gallery, but there was one that stood out to me. The Carolina Water Ash. It has beautiful growth rings...

    White latex paint or water based pigmented lacquer

    After spending 7 hours spraying a large project with one coat of primer and 3 coats of latex I can not help but wonder if I could do it with less coats and get better results using a white pigmented water base lacquer. I recall John talking about it in his finshing class and was wondering if...

    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...

    Water Based Grain Filler

    Need pointers on using Behlen Water Based Grain Filler. The can I have is called Neutral which is kind of light cream/white colored. Should it be tinted with a tint near the same color of the wood or the stain to be used or what? Any info would be helpful. I had planned to use in on red oak but...
