there is one they missed and it's a simple tool,the utility knife which can inflict serious deep cuts because people take them for granted.

hey as far as sanders forget the air get the mirka deros 5" and if you dont love it i will buy it from you at the price you pay,and pay for the shipping to me!seriously,you have witnesses and it s locked on this thread forever.thats how much i love the sander.ive been thinking of getting another just too avoid changing disc s all the time. you got nothing too loose my friend.
- pottz

Mirka and Festool- I like the Mirka Deros yet the reviews on the net claim that they breakdown and poor customer service- there is a following that loves them.

I wanted a finish sander and after watching a Wood Whisper video on sanding to a 4000 grit Festool foam pad. I went with Festool sanding pads, then Mirka 600 to 1000 the back to Festool 1500, 2000, and 4000 foam pads.

what are you sanding that needs up too 4000? if it's wood 220 is all you need,unless your doing somthing like pens and lathe work?

 

Talking about hinges and hardware. Is everyone on board with all these soft close ones or like the normal ones still?

 

Been in shop all day, except for couple hours at doctor. Arm is out of sling and usable, but weak from couple weeks on not being able to us it. Several projects for finishing room in various stages of glue up, final fit and finish or just finish work. Will have some pictures tomorrow evening. Might even get my masking tape holder mounted.

My helper has know it all Uncle. Seems my helper was discussing how we edge banded some plywood and some OSB. He brought a cut off of the OSB one to show his Dad what he was talking about. BUT Mr. Know it All Uncle insisted the glue would not hold and that I was wrong. Further saying only an idiot would edge band OSB.

Enter today when said Uncle dropped by to enlighten me. Yeah, it can be done, and I have done it, and the glue does hold. Further that with the project is a couple years old. So he continues with what idiot does so? Fair question on the why would you do it, the idiot part he could have stowed and swallowed though.

So why edge band OSB. Well for a shop fixture why waste good plywood when you have some scrap handy? Sure it isn't the greatest stuff but for the project pictured below, it worked. I would not make furniture out of it.

You decide.

And here the unit is with the boxes made to fit.

Pottz- I found this process from the Wood Whisper- sanding pads 100 to 320- Mirka pads 600 to a 1000- Festool 1500, 2000 then 4000… Glass smooth and when you touch it glides.

Now I use Medex and metal coatings.

I really like Blum for concealed hinges, drawer slides. IMO they have the best overall system. They are also expensive. I've tried a few cheaper ones but I always go back to Blum.

I believe there are pieces that require old school hinges just for esthetic reasons.

 

+1 Gunny- whatever the material one uses "it must be held together"- a good joint…

+1 pretty cool looking. I might have edge banded with walnut or something to give it some color.

 

+1 Gunny- whatever the material one uses "it must be held together"- a good joint…

- Desert_Woodworker

Absolutely. My helper has been getting alot of practice with the various joints I like to use. Told him doesn't matter how long the project takes, just make it with good solid joints. While I do use a good amount of screws on projects this is usually on shop stuff or in places where you will not see them again. More and more I am using the mantra of all joints and glue, no nails or screws.

 

Gunny- one must remember when using any composite sheet goods- what are the ratings… similar to the grades in lumber... cool stuff

That is the flattest OSB I ever seen. Definitely didnt get that at HD.

+1 composite material and the "adhesives" that will last- welcome to 2021 woodworking…

 

Speaking of odd sheet goods, anyone ever use MDO? Menards carries it. I thought about using it for the top of my bench for its flattness, but Id probably spill coffee on it. 62$ sheet too.

 

I used the blum hinges where i could turn off the soft close. They were pretty easy to Install and hold up well. In my house i think they would break them trying to force it closed with the soft close on.

 

Ron, I never had a "poetry" class. The school wasn't big enough to offer one. They just poked it in here and there a little at a time. The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner reminds me of the Albatros around my neck 60 years later ;-) "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree" is another that doesn't seem to go away. I'm a math/engineering guy too. Spit it out, I'll never think of hidden meanings ;-)

Mike, every time they start to get ahead, there is a bad year ;-(( My dad told me to get an education or trade then come back to the farm if I want to, but by then you'll know better. Supper here too. Dinner is at noon ;-)

Petey, I took typing too. There were a couple of other guys headed to college. I never got good enough to not look at the key board a lot ;-)

damn petey hang on that one she s a keeper for sure.mine is too,if i said i need this saw because of the safety features she would say just do it.hell if we get another stimulus check for 1400k each i just might and let the gov.pay for my fun.

Yesterday there was an auto shop with propane tanks that burned near SeaTac Airport. It is a violation of state law to store propane indoors: (10) Storage of LPG containers. You must not store LPG within a building.

One-shot out like a missile and was trapped under a fence. It had to have been laying on its side so the pressure relief valve could no work.

Today I called the county councilman's office and raised 7734 for about 10 minutes. Mentioned that disaster was due to code violations and since no one has the authority to straighten out this chitty the responsible officials need to get together and demand our mayor not kill and destroy to save greedy developers few dollars. A town about 20 miles towards Mt. Rainier has a new housing development that had siding and roofing blowing off in the weekend storm. Getting to where tents make more sense than the new houses. I was told OSB has a 20-year life expectancy under the compost shingles with a 25 or 30 life expectancy ;-)) The guy that told me was trying to save a 5-year-old multimillion-dollar house with an attic full of mold ;-(

Whose economy? China, their rent, food, and shelter-

HOW DID AMERICANS SPEND THEIR STIMULUS CHECKS AND HOW DID IT AFFECT THE ECONOMY?

https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2020/10/how-did-americans-spend-their-stimulus-checks-and-how-did-it-affect-the-economy

More importantly, the weather that has hit and almost crippled a part of fellow Americans- the Cold front.
Devastation, hardships, and remember follow the money- $$$ spent to "continue" even American commerce is stopping … If I am not mistaken are we not plentiful in natural gas?

there is no shame in using screw where needed,my god of woodworking sam maloof would use screws even in his famous rockers that sold for 25k or more.he was a common sense man period!
