    Working with melamine - need advise

    I am building a simple stand for a flat panel TV for some clients and I need a little advice. This unit is being designed to fit into an existing shelf unit that was built to surround a large projection TV. I am using black melamine, primarily because they want this quick and black. The unit...

    First Wood Working project in 1 year completed

    I started this project 1 year ago. Then I started a new job and had to relocate. Next I had to build a patio, shed and fence in the yard. Then I got to work on the shop and now I finished it :eusa_clap

    What I've been working on lately...Mo' pics

    Over the past two weekends, at least Labor Day and all this weekend I have been working on completing a commission that I got a while ago. They will be two cages for Bearded Dragons on cabinet stands. I have completed the cage part sans the finishing (and assembly of the second one) The wood is...

    Working with Lyptus

    Has anyone done any work with Lyptus? I've read a couple of reviews of the stuff that rave about its looks and how easily it can be worked and finished. Supposed to look kind of like mahogany. And it's grown in sustainable / managed forests. I looked at prices listed on Steve Wall's lumber...

    Working with stain...

    Did a small project last week using some stain (oil based). What is the best way to finish over stain without lifting the stain while brushing? I used dewaxed shellac under the stain. Should I have used shellac on top of the stain before topcoating? Also, should I use the sealer shellac or...

    Working from plans

    I'm building a hand tool chest (out of junk wood) from an article with plans in a "free issue" of Woodsmith that arrived unsolicited in the mailbox. Now, I shan't disparage that for which I have paid nothing, but it has been a bit of an effort to work with the plan. This particular plan contains...

    Just so you know I have been working...

    Here's a Christmas ornament (yes, I know it's passed) that I cut. I am going to try to put a finish on some other pieces today and will post if I get them done. I just hadn't posted anything for awhile.

    New lathe working alright

    I put my new HF lathe through some paces this weekend. Turned a Cherry bowl and a couple of pens. The HF lathe is like a Cadillac to me after what I was working on. I highly recommend it to budget minded beginning turners. But the greatest thing was my new Oneway Talon chuck. I realized that I'm...

    Tablesaw quit working

    I had an unhappy start to my morning. My tablesaw won't work. It's a Craftsman older model 10" contractor tablesaw. I turned it on and the motor whined but the blade didn't turn. I unplugged it and cleaned it out with the shopvac and airhose. The blade will move freely when turned. I...

    Working with acetone

    1. When spilled on the floor wipe it up immediately. If you stand in the puddle, when you try to walk around, the softened soles of your sneakers will feel like you are walking on a sticky surface and will mess up your nice wooden floors. 2. After cleaning up the spill, don't stand in that...

    working my way up

    Below are a couple of bowls? I have made. Both are about 2 1/2 " diameter and about 1" tall. The one on the left is mahagony and the right is bradford pear. I guess that small may be something other than a bowl but at least the idea is the same.
