Sorry to hear that they did not fix your saw correctly Ralph. The service center near me has a couple of great technicians one of which is a scroller. My suggestion is when you bring the saw back to them bring a blade and a scrap piece. Before you leave plug it in, put the blade in and try it out. It will be a good learning experience for them and allow you to see that the saw is finally fixed right. DW

Larry, Staining is one of those things that there are a thousand different ways. You need to ask some very basic questions such as Oil Based Stain or Water Based Stain or Alcohol Based Stain - all have their plusses and minuses Do you want the grain to show clearly or just an indication. Since you do not want to use paints you have eliminated some of the staining methods available. The Color FX Wood Dye is probably your best of the three you listed as it is a concentrate and you can use either water or alcohol to make your dye base. Water will raise the grain a bit and you will have to smooth it out after applying the dye a bit. There are ways to minimize the grain lifting such as wet the wood you are going to stain first let the grain rise sand it smooth and then apply the stain. While this will not totally eliminate the grain rising it will reduce it a lot. Alcohol will NOT raise the grain of your project however it is an extremely fast drying stain base. You would need to take in to account that it will be drying fast when you are applying it. I have used both methods and both work ok. I have made my own dyes with everything from clothing dye to food coloring. My suggestion is to get one of the small bottles and try it on a piece and see how it works for you. DW
