    Grizzly tools touch up paint

    I recently purchased a used Grizzly G1018 jointer. Right now it's completely disassembled for cleaning and awaiting a few new parts to fine tune it. I now have decided to re-paint the stand and jointer prior to reassembly. Has anyone out there with an older Grizzly tool (approx 1995-2000)...

    I like a challenge#3--The Paint Job

    Although The cornsheller doesn't require a paint job to make it functional, I think it adds a whole lot to the overall appeal to the project and does add a little bit of historical value. In order to make the frame of the cornsheller look old, I begin by sanding all of the frame components...

    Gloss white finish: lacquer or paint?

    I've got a piece I'm working on that the client wants in gloss white when finished. I'm building it frame and panel style out of birch and poplar. I'll be spraying the finish. Should I go with a white pre-cat lacquer, or oil-base paint? And does any sort of sanding sealer help in this...

    Chalk paint?

    Is anyone familiar with chalk paint? I was sent a link to a finishing site that uses this type of paint mostly for faux and refinishing. I'm curious because it advertises it needs no prep to stick to most "everything" and mostly is finished with wax. I also would like to know more about wax...

    Exterior Paint Q for our collective mind.

    I'll be starting some exterior frame & panel shutters in cypress soon. I haven't kept up with the paint industry, so I'm asking: Oil or Water? I built them from SYP 15 years ago and painted them with Rustoleum enamel.

    Paint Sprayers

    I've got a good deal of painting to do on my rental unit. Given the time frame I'm wondering if it would be wise to look at one of the consumer grade paint sprayers or powered rollers that are constantly being advertised. Can anyone offer any advice on these? Are they worth the money? Do...

    I've got some oil-based porch & deck paint. And I have some latex-based wall primer. I know there was a post on this in the past few months, but my google-fu has failed me. The paint can says to prepare wood surfaces with an enamel undercoater. My wood already has paint on it, which I had...

    Project: Piano Bench in Black Paint

    Another friend heard of the piano bench build-a-thon taking place at my shop, and decided he wanted one. He didn't have as much free time as I did, so I took this one on by myself. Nothing fancy, and no storage, this piano bench is a little smaller than the other one (see other thread). This...
