My wife loves rustic furniture and I've picked up a couple of finishing techniques to give a shabby chic country sort of look but I've never been able to accomplish anything I'm "proud" of. How to you get a natural rustic antique look? Anyone have any suggestions on products they've used, or a...

I'm about to lay some of the hard-earned stuff out for a compound miter saw-the hand-driven sort, both for $$ and floor space reasons. I've looked at the Jorgensen Mini-Compound Miter Saw, which is large enough for my needs, but I'd be a fool not to ask the amassed brainpower at LJ what they...
