  1. Finishing
    I have used the Cubitron pressure sensitive paper for a project and wont to invest in some disks for my random orbit sander. Has anyone looked at which is better Cubitron Mesh vs Cubitron II with holes. The mesh is almost half the price, but I cant find a comparison.

    Hi, I need to know the best way to sand the end grain on the raised portion of raised panels. Thanks.
  3. Finishing
    After about a month of sanding with the festool RO150, the hooks become so flat that the paper has trouble sticking to it. I replaced the pad twice giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe I got some lemons. Then I got a thin 1/8” thick hook and loop pad to add on thinking it would do better...
  4. Finishing
    Hello, I just acquired a beautiful oak chair, but it had heavy paint layer that I am trying remove. I used Citrus Strip which I have used successfully on a table. This time, initially all seemed to go fairly well. But I am still struggling with getting all the gunk in the spindle area where...

    Here is my Abrasive Grit Comparison Spreadsheet. (Google Docs, view only) Hey all. I've kind of been on a mission lately to try to get as many woodworkers to stop talking about abrasive grit and start talking about abrasive size. Generally, grit is used to indicate the size of the abrasives...

    Hello. So rubio monocoat calls for no more than 120 grit sanding on wood for proper adhesion. the problem with this is epoxy, especially black epoxy, needs at least 320. What techniques can anyone recommend to make sure the wood is not sanded higher than 320? If I only sand the epoxy...

  11. Turning Tools and Accessories
    I dye my pieces which means that any imperfections are especially highlighted if the sanding job is not very thorough. Hand sanding takes forever and is exhausting. Inertia sanders work ok, but they can be tricky to use properly and do not remove as much material as power tools. Using a drill...
  12. JenAire cutting boards

    I made these for an old neighbor some time ago, Cherry, Jatoba, Maple, Walnut and Moradillo, double sliding dovetails on the end boards.
  13. End Grain Top, A true labor of love

    I have had the opportunity to build several, end grain, butcher block cutting boards when a close friend asked if i could make a counter top for a kitchen island. The process is the same, but it is considerably more work to build a larger top…especially in a small shop like mine. I was...

    Drill Press Station - Table/Lift/Fence/Vise/Drum Sander My drill press is a small inexpensive bench top type, and until I get a good floor type one I am trying to get the best out of it. One of the first things I did was to change its old pole with a stainless steel one. Why stainless steel...

    Hello all, it's been awhile since I posted a project because of my broken hand and then playing catch up to get some projects done. This one took AWHILE to finish because it was 341 pieces and a lot of them where very small. I spent a lot of time down on my hands and knees looking for a piece...
  17. Barstool Stone Inlays

    I was given a pair of old bar stools by customer and asked if I could "save" them. They were in pretty tough shape and had, at some point in their life, been given a haphazard and unfortunate coat of stain (far more "Molting Hyena" than "Dark Walnut"). Normally I build everything that I do...
  18. Gifts for a trip

    We're starting to plan a FL trip here soon so I wanted to get ahead of things and knock out some gifts for the different friends and family we're staying with. The first going left to right is a baseball bat bottle stopper made from an ash baseball billet. I used a Ruth Niles stainless stopper...

Whilst I can say the are not finished due to they don't have any for of protective coating as of yet, I can say that I have finished because I won't be doing that and the owner of them has not decided himself as of...
