    Glass microbeads and epoxy

    I plan to use 30 minute clear epoxy for a complex assembly, but would like to thicken it a bit to avoid runs. I read that glass microbeads can be used to thicken the epoxy, so I tried it out on a not so complex assembly. Mixed the beads with the resin before combining with the hardener as...

    6x48 belt sander for sale

    I have an older Craftsman 6”x48” belt sander for sale. It needs to have a stand fabricated as the motor does not attach directly to the sander. The stand when I got it was cobbled together and I junked it. Planned to have two of these with different belt grits but not likely to ever get that...

    American elm

    An American Elm went down at my church. When cutting it up for firewood, a guy ask if he could have some rounds for turning bowls. Never occurred to me that elm was desirable for bowl turning. If anyone wants some, it is Cary NC and chopped into 16”+/- Around 12-14” diameter. There is a...

    Granite surface block - Free

    I use self adhesive sand paper for sharpening tools. I adhere the strips to granite counter top piece assuming these are about as flat as float glass. I’m upgrading from three grits to four. If anyone wants a 9”x13” piece of granite I can bring to the picnic. It’s not special unless you...

    Not fine woodworking

    Not fine woodworking but I hope my granddaughter likes the idea as well as her parents. It’s called a Pickler Triangle and is intended for a very young child to climb on and explore but not tall enough to get badly hurt in the inevitable falls. Don’t know how I grew to increpitude without...

    Dovetail Jig?

    Below is a jig that came with a lot of tools I purchased a while back. It looks like a dovetail jig but the slots look too narrow for a guide bushing. Anyway, I’m thinking it is excess to me. If anyone can identify and wants it, it’s available to a new home. Located near Fuquay Varina, NC

    Quincy Air Compressor free to a new home

    After an extended period of poor storage, I fired up my 5 hp Quincy air compressor to discover significant blow by. I have since run across a good deal on a different 5 hp pump and transferred the motor to it (was three phase). If anyone is interested in rebuilding this pump, I would be happy...

    Basswood

    What would you use basswood for? I don’t carve. I imagine it could be used for the back and/or dust panels in dressers or other places where a filler is needed. I have access to a couple hundred bdf but don’t know that it’s worth hauling home. Thoughts?

    Japanese saws, etc

    My neighbor brought these over from an in-law who can no longer use them. He said “no charge” but if they actually are good tools, that wouldn’t be right. I know next to nothing about Japanese saws or their look alikes. Virtually all say made in Japan. Most look in pretty good shape. A few...

    Changing spindle sander drums

    I have a Grizzly spindle sander that has a 4" diameter x 9" sanding drum. Changing the drum is difficult - at least for me. I even resorted to cutting the worn drum off and then rolling the rubber cylinder under foot to try to shrink it down (after the center mandrel was removed). Any tricks...

    Dust filter

    I had been using a Grizzly dust collector with their collection bags. When I did a fair amount of sanding with my drum sander, everything in the shop ended with a coating of sander dust. I knew the bags weren’t good, but that was ugly. I didn’t want to spend a pile of money as my longer term...

    Lasering stone

    My future daughter in law wants to have table seating markers made from broken pieces of counter top. She would like table numbers etched on them - perhaps darken the etching with paint or stain. I suspect this would take a laser with fairly significant power. Does anyone in the Raleigh...

    Skip Planing Lumber

    I skip planed 75 or 80 board feet of lumber this morning, some for thought of projects, some because the rough boards came off the stack in the way of what I wanted. Which brought to mind ---- which is the better way to store lumber: in the rough as sawn and air dried for umpty years, or skip...

    Shaper Table

    I purchased the shaper shown in the attached picture a while ago off Craig's List. It has a large wing attached to what seems like the back side of the working area of the table. I'm not sure why one would want this large surface beyond the spindle other than the "more is better, too much is...

    Wood species?

    Attached are a few pics of wood trim at the daughter and son in laws home. I believe at least some is birch - such as the plywood. But there are more than one species. The kids would like new bathroom vanities made, and I’m deciding what wood to use (matching stain is a whole other issue)...

    Three Phase Motor $50

    I have a 5 hp, 208V three phase motor that I have no need for. It is a 184T frame, 1800 nominal rpm. It came off a compressor I purchased and replaced the motor with a single phase. $50 at the picnic, a little less if you bring a side I like, and free if I win the table saw.
