  2. Miter Station

    There's a lot twists and turns on the way to making this Miter Station. I wrote about making it here. Essentially I was tired of crosscutting long pieces on my table saw and I wanted to practice making cabinets. The idea was to see if I could build something cheaper, faster and better made than...

    This lamp is a variation of an Arts and Crafts Table lamp that I posted in http://lumberjocks.com/projects/139721. It is virtually the same proportionally as my my previous lamp other than the obvious, it has two columns, the base is larger, and the shade is wider front and back. As with my...

    I picked up a container of Titebond III Ulitmate earlier this week and tried it out tonight. I like the darker color for use with dark woods and the extended open time, but was very surprised to see how the excess stained my layout table and clamps. Some of my K clamps have been used for over...

    Hey folks I have a question on finishes and paint. I'm building a chess board with one type of wood "maple" and painting in the squares. I then would like to seal it with danish oil from http://www.triedandtruewoodfinish.com. I'm doing this because I'd like to achieve different colors ie orange...

    I made and finished some kitchen cabinets last year. They are inset slab doors/drawers made out of cherry veneer over birch ply. I finished the cabinets with three coats of Target Coatings EM6000 at the prop mil thickness, stirring before each application, and so on. I was going for a...
  11. Finishing
    Hello, I'm a stay at home mom. A year ago I purchased this mango wood dining table from Nadeua. The only finish it had was a very thin coat of beeswax. Over the past year it has accumulated a few moisture stains, and potentially some oil stains. I have tried removing the moisture stains with an...

    The Beginning - My Space and My Tools As some of you know, I started my woodworking journey last summer in August. While I've always had a desire, and even bought my first tool back in 1995, I didn't actually take my first real steps till then. It's very interesting how things happen. As a...

The face of the clock was finished with spray cans and the main assembly of the clock was stained with a spray gun. In the first part Ill show how...

    I thought I would ask this question on LJ, but I just know this is pretty embarassing for me and not quite sure what to do. I am working on a wall. Ok - not really a wall, but it is a kind of barrier that I want to look pleasing yet provide my office space with some much needed privacy. I...
  15. Wood & Lumber
    I have been working on my new house. The floors were painted black, very poorly. After sanding for several hours I think I found the reason why the previous owners painted it black. There are a lot of very dark stains in the hardwood floors. I went over the floor with a random orbit sander and a...

    Has anyone used these stains? Looks like they might be pretty good for something other than guitars… What do you think? ColorTone Liquid Stains Enjoy…
  17. Finishing
    Just a quick question for some of you with experience in finishing. Has anyone heard of or had success with "Mohawk Finishes"? I have never heard of them, but apparently they are for the pros. I mean like, commercial and Industrial pros that do this stuff on a mass production level. I'm just...

    I'm restoring a couple of old hand tools that have rosewood handles (or pretend rosewood) and I'd like to get that original reddish finish again. Has anyone found a good way to do this. Also, I've been messing, unsuccessfully with trying to get wood fillers to take stain that will remotely...
