    Need ideas for charity auction

    Thanks. it is for a Catholic school, so drinks flow pretty freely ;-). In fact they usually get some donations from a local wine merchant, so could put a couple full bottles in there to spice things up! thanks for the feedback. tim

    Need ideas for charity auction

    Haven't posted in a couple years, but sold my business and should have some more free time while the company that bought mine pays me for 'not sure yet' ;-). anyway, was asked to contribute a piece to the school auction and I still have some of the great quarter sawn maple from Southern...

    Waterlox loss

    i fill up small mason jars after i buy a gallon, and typically use up the mason jar on the project i am working on (often more than one). that was the easiest way for me to avoid waste.

    A Finish For Walnut

    I use Waterlox almost exclusively (shellac and water based poly when i want to do something quickly). When i open a new can I pour it all in small mason jars that are the size of one job. If i end up not using all of it and have some gel up, i haven't lost much.

    Grizzly spiral cutterheads on sale

    yes. sorry. I meant inserts. I vow to never use after market cutterhead inserts again. I spent a few hundred extra dollars and a lot of time trying to save a little money. Started over with all new inserts and am getting good clean cuts for the first time in a long time. I need to take...

    Grizzly spiral cutterheads on sale

    They are on sale right now for about 1/2 off for the 15" planer. I went cheap and got off brand cutterheads a couple of years ago and have been doing more sanding than I should. biting the bullet to replace them all with new Grizzly brand. lesson learned-i had read that using non original...

    Kidney shaped table-added curved legs and bottom shelf

    Jeff, that wood is so pretty that i just want to plane it and show it off. the second shelf isn't going to get much attention but the grain is spectacular in it's own right.thank you for the opportunity to use it.

    Kidney shaped table-added curved legs and bottom shelf

    I just couldn't reconcile my straight legs after posting pictures up here because i realize the legs just didn't correspond to the table top: So, i decided on a curved leg and ended up going with four legs instead of three as I wasn't sure how to add the bottom shelf with only 3 legs, or at...

    Finished-kidney shaped coffee table

    crap. i thought i could rationalize that the thick, straight legs (which showed off the grain) presented a contrast to the roundedness of the table but couldn't quite get there. I tried to curve the existing legs and they became thinner, thinner, thinnner. So starting over on the legs. l liked...

    Finished-kidney shaped coffee table

    Thanks. yes, pre-drilled a significantly wider hole than needed which is why i have a washer with the screw. i think i gave it plenty of room-it is the same strategy i have used in the past without a problem.

    Finished-kidney shaped coffee table

    After posting about different ways to do this job, i ended up creating a big outline that i got printed at Kinkos and then cut a template out of 1/8 plywood. This project used Jeff's maple from Illinois and it is beautiful (if not easy to work-he was right that sanding was tough). It is the...

    Powder Post Beetles

    a couple not very great pictures of the wood stack and then the insulation box. i still don't fully believe that it worked because it was too easy, mostly i don't completely trust the thermometer readings that i took. sorry for the dark pictures....
