Post: RE: Will just have to wait a bit..
It's a shame more people don't use ash. It's a nice wood to work and looks good under a finish. The Emerald Ash Beetle is laying waste to our ash forests and lots of it is going to waste in the woods.

Ditto what everybody else said. I bought the cheap one that has a tube you simply stick down into a bucket of media and pull the trigger. The air demand is huge, but it works. One tip: wear a respirat...

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...

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 ...

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...
