    Mother's Day Build

    My brother and I have talked about building some outdoor furniture for mother's day, and well... time is almost up.

    Deck Protection

    Our new deck is going up pretty fast, going to look at what to protect it with soon. Staying away from Thompson's. Looking at a product called TWP that comes highly recommended. Curious as to what you folks use on new decks.

My ear muffs are decades old and not up to modern standards so when they tested the Work Tunes style with digital AM/FM tuning and readout, presets, and a capability to hook up my Walkman I checked...

    Finish with high UV protection

    Our front door faces dead west. The front door is large with the wide side panels. The whole thing is made out of wood. The bottom half takes a real beating from the sun I have just finished sanding and staining and now need to select a finish. Does anyone know of a finish with a high UV...

    Face Protection?

    A question for the dedicated wood turners. Are you using a face shield? What are the pros and cons of it? What shield or type of shield would you recommend? I have registered to take a woodturning course at John C Campbell folk school in June 2008. The course will touch on a lot of areas...
