  Sanding pads vs. paper?

Tell me why you might prefer one over the other? This would be between finish coats.

  Drywall

Hello everyone, I want to drywall my garage this spring and was wondering if I should do the celling first or the walls or does it really matter. Thanks for the help and have a great day.

  Fridge pops GFI
Posted by: carwashguy - 03-17-2019, 10:24 AM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (24)

My fridge shares the circuit with 1 countertop GFI outlet. Sometime yesterday the fridge started tripping the GFI.  I thought (was hoping) that is had something to do with the ice maker so i turned the ice maker off but it just tripped the GFI again.   When i reset the GFI the compressor immediately turned on.  I'd like to get a couple of more years out of this 16 year old fridge, if possible.  Any insight on what the issue could be before I pull it out from the wall in an attempt to troubleshoot it?  I have to go out for a couple of hours but I'll be working on this by about 2 o'clock.
BTW -  My wife has already decided to go appliance shopping!

  a First Trial at Stringing
Posted by: C. in Indy - 03-17-2019, 10:08 AM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (9)

Lately I decided to try some stringing inlay.  I looked at the catalogs and for a starter I got a mixed set of tools.  I picked Veritas inlay cutters mainly because I foresee trying arbitrary templates -- not just circular arcs and straight lines -- one of these days.  The Veritas kit promises the ability to cut to a template.  On the other hand, for string thicknessing, I picked a Lie Nielsen tool.

Also for the early work I went with 0.032" stringing, thinking I'd be able to curl some veneer to arc-shapes without a heating iron.  This was "mostly" true on my first trial, but I definitely see why people use heated curling irons now.  In the future I'll probably step up to thicker strings and more methodical curling.

For a future box-top, I looked at some patterns, fancying art deco schemes, but I settled on a fairly basic intro pattern.   The work went a lot like cutting dovetails -- it is really a leap of faith that the ugly interim steps will straighten out later.

Cutting some arcs:

   


Leveling bits of string inlay:

   


After a good deal of detail repairs and planing and burnishing:

   



The remainder of the box will be an oak piece with rabbeted end pieces and grooves for a fixed bottom and a sliding (stringed) lid.  The Veritas stringing gage has a whip-sharp cutting blade insert for slicing veneers; this also has become my finest cutting gage for other work now

And here is one of the grooves being popped out after rip-sawing with a backsaw:

   


More to come later...

  The Woodworking Show
Posted by: Mike 55 - 03-17-2019, 08:38 AM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (18)

Hi Guys,

It's been 5 years since I went to one of these shows in New Jersey. I now live in SC and see that they have one in Charlotte, NC. The last one  I went to was not that great. Nothing like 20 years ago. 

Is it worth going these days?

Thanks

Mike

  MInni Max S45
Posted by: tablesawtom - 03-17-2019, 08:08 AM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (10)

I have come into possession of a Minni MAx S45 Band saw in excellent condition. It has the disc style guides. What is it worth, all Park? I am not very good at searching the net.

I know it is 220 but it is still in my truck so I haven't had a real good chance really play with it.

 I Have an older Delta, probably made in the 40s, with new tires and a Carter quick blade release and a Kreg fence. I know I will get pressure from the misses but I might keep it and sell the other or even keep it and sell the Grizzly 17 extreme. 

I don't normally ask for opinions or help in matters like this , but I  would like some different views to consider.

Thanks,

Tom
