Post: RE: Wood for Shutters
I agree with GaryG, get some cypress while it's available. I never thought cypress was particularly attractive, but I've changed my mind. Some years ago, my oldest friend's son, a cabinet maker, built...

  0 Thread: Metal staining problem
Post: RE: Metal staining problem
A polishing paste like Autosol with a soft buffing pad or wheel will take a lot of the stain off. It will also probably remove the etch from your saw, and it may not get all of the stain, but it will ...

Post: RE: How do you hang tools on the wall?
I had peg board on my shop walls for years and hated every minute of it. The pegs were always coming off and I'd knock things off the hooks inadvertently. I finally put up solid wood paneling over my ...

Post: RE: Need suggestions for joining bench top to legs...
I agree with John. A 15" wide board will move, but not a huge amount. Enlarge the pocket holes (or elongate them as John suggested). That should be enough to accommodate the movement of a 15" wide boa...

Post: RE: A Length Stop System for a RAS
John, I remember your post recently about your rotary miter table. It's a very clever design. I might order one from you one of these days.

John, that's a nice stop block design. Years ago, I installed my RAS in a permanent long bench and use it exclusively for 90º crosscutting. I built a fence with stop blocks from a design in a long ago...

Post: RE: Attachment Question, Nails & Glue?
If you rough up to surface of the enamel with some medium grit sandpaper, hide glue would probably adhere pretty well. I would use hide glue and tack the accent strips on with the 23 gauge pinner. If ...
