    removing mold staining from air dried SYP

    I have some SYP that stained while it was air drying. The stain goes way into the wood. Other than paint is there a way to get rid of these stains? Iam thinking of trying oxalic acid.

    VFD inverter has given up the ghost now what help.

    It worked!! The surgery worked even though the lathe had a questionable surgeon. I followed the directions from the AAW forum thread that I posted earlier. I also watched this video It was really helpful in understanding the programming part and to not stress over it so much.

    Good question. I found a not god awfully expensive replacement. I am looking at replacing the 22 yr old VFD while I have it down for repairs. Thank you for the offer.

    VFD inverter has given up the ghost now what help.

    Great questions. The new setup has the right power connections. I tested it and it is live. The VFD is dead as a door nail. And the cover that connects the programmer to the circuit board won't stay on. A puff of smoke would have been a nice signal. Being that it is 22 yrs old I am assuming...

    VFD inverter has given up the ghost now what help.

    The VFD on my 3520A Powermatic has decided to not work after the move to the new garage. After 15 years and a move I guess it is to be expected. So the question is "What do I do Now?" The VFD iniverter has been discontinued. In poking around the internet I see that I can buy a refurbed one...

    Looking for someone to turn a few porch posts

    I am redoing my porch and I need 7 turned 6" x 96" turned victorian porch posts. They can be done in segments or they can be turned whole. I am not terribly picky. Is there anyone around that does this? My lathe is down so I can't do it myself at this time. Thanks, Jerome

    A Great source of Walnut in Chapel Hill

    I was just over at Keith Yow's saw mill yesterday. He just retired from teaching furniture making at Cedar Grove HS. He has a great selection of walnut, ponderosa pine, and I believe some birch. The walnut ranges from 5/4-16/4 and he has a good amount of wide stuff. His prices are good. Go...

    best source for wide SYP boards?

    They have a great selection. When I called they said that most of their boards were in the 6"-9" realm. I want 13"-14" I have gotten them in the past, but it was from a log that I had sawn into boards for me. Unfortuantely my stash has gotten rather low. I really don't want to glue up boards.
