Looks very much like cherry with a few years of seasoning to me. The style isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I take my hat off for such tasty work.

Strong Greene & Greene vibes in the best way. yes! they mentioned that name, and the Gamble house not sure about the wood types, except the table is walnut I think I'm not sure what the pieces on the upper part of the cabinet doors are called. the curve in them is also seen in the ceiling pillars or whatever you call them

I’m going to epoxy my threaded bolt holder/socket/whatever back into the wood. What should I do to ensure I don’t get epoxy in the bolt threading, especially as I screw the holder back down? Cover the other opening with tape or something?

Just wax the bolt threads and screw it into the hole before you glue it in. Use some paste wax or just rub it on a candle if you don't have other wax. You can unscrew the bolt after the epoxy partiaially sets (can't jiggle it around) if you're concerned about gluing the bolt in

For the solid variety actually ran across a recommendation to use Guff canning wax. Actually works awesome and super cheap. Although it may or may not stand up to heat in the garage during Texas summers.... Would recommend storing in a cup or something so it converts from a block into a puck instead of a puddle. The stalactite hanging from my workbench was pretty impressive though.

Last year I made a stool as part of a class at a nearby workshop, my first project since high school. Ever since then it's been sitting unfinished, but I don't know where to start. I've ordered a Bob Flexner book from the library but does anybody have any simple recommendations of what type of finish to get? Stool is made of pine btw.

I like Briwax because you can buff it to whatever sheen, and it dilutes and cleans up easy with mineral spirits so you can control the tone with it. Comes in lots of colors and really goes a long way. Shellac, optional alcohol dye, and some wax also makes a really nice finish for pine. Both of these dry in about a day and are relatively easy to repair finishes, although not very water resistant. Coasters are another woodworking project though.

HolHorsejob posted:Does anyone have a recommendation for a good-quality budget table saw fence? The original fence that came with this 1950s craftsman 113 is toast. All of the decent aftermarket ones I've seen are just rebadges of the Delta T3 anyway. I have a 36-725T2 and the fence is pretty great. I 3D printed an endcap box that holds replacement screws (the nylon grub screws do wear over time; I replaced them with PETG ones that wear out over a year or so but they took thirty minutes to print so I don't care) and haven't touched it otherwise. Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Pine is kind of a pain to stain well. Have you considered painting it with something like milk paint? Otherwise I would leave it unstained and do any of the clear option other folks have mentioned. Shellac is especially good because it will bring a little bit of a warm color to the party. General Finishes oil stains after a coat of Minwax pre-conditioner come out pretty nice IMO. It'll still have will have color gradations, but the splotching should be minimized and congratulations, you just made An Art about it. I'd probably stain (or as you say, just finish clear) the top and paint the legs, but I have a type about that sort of thing. tracecomplete fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Aug 13, 2023 |

Always wanted to go with shellac for pine, but haven't yet found the project to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UssYj-98oCg I always hear it's not very resistant to water, but since it's alcohol based shouldn't that provide a decent amount of protection? Assuming you don't have water just pooled up on the table for hours and hours it should be fine especially with a topcoat of paste wax right?

Bob Mundon posted:Always wanted to go with shellac for pine, but haven't yet found the project to do it. Shellac doesn't melt away like the wicked witch when exposed to water, but if you let water sit on it for a while, it will make the shellac cloudy. I'm not sure how much (if any) protection a coat of wax would give in a situation like that. If it gets wet and you wipe it up right away, it will be fine. Interestingly, according to Flexner's book (and my memory from reading it 20 years ago), shellac is one of the best finishes at blocking water vapor (humidity), but one of the worst at blocking actual water.

I did some "it's fine" woodworking today, building new shelves for the lovely wish.com "outdoor" greenhouse we keep some plants in. But it's notable because it's the first time I turned on the table saw in like, 6 months.

I hope this is the motivation you need to finish your chair. I am on a chair quest though now...starting one of three prototypes for a future dining set. I want to try two variants of an Appalachian ladderback and one windsor, then I will get my family to vote and I'll build 7 more.

Do you have any concern for how small the contact patch is on the rear legs of that chair, MMM? It looks amazing but I'd be worried about wear & tear on those spots.

How do you align an aftermarket fence onto a table saw? I got a delta T3 fence recently, and it's a bit wider than the cast iron table + extensions. Should I center it on the blade, or add the extra length to just the right side?

I have some concern, and I had planned to have more contact, but sort of botched the template when I made it. Either way, it has more contact than the original, the original is rounded at the back so has even less than the tiny flats mine does. I am hopeful Carl Hansen (the maker of the original) would have changed up the back legs over the years had it been a spot that was suffering prematurely, but since they haven't, maybe I will be okay.

I'm making a simple storm window insert for an old basement window (I think they are the original 1924) and I had a few questions: 1) how deep/wide should the rabbets be? 2) for glazing should I use glaze or silicone caulk? 3) should I use glass or plexiglass? The window is facing the driveway at about calf height.

I eyeballed it. Deep and wide enough to get the glazing points in and covered in caulk, whatever that comes out to be.
