    Sorry Kevin, I should have said Watco Danish Oil. I have a can of "natural" finish that I used for a project in our motor home. Would it be ok?
  2. OCtoolguy
    What exactly is Watco Oil? I have some of that on hand.
  3. OCtoolguy
    Well said Jerry.

    Finishing has always been my weak point. I love to make stuff but I hate to sand and finish. But, now I find myself in the position of having to do it all. My wife no longer is able to help. Anyway, I'm in the process of making this layered basket as you all know by now and I have done all the cutting. I am only going to have to do minimal sanding. I want to put some finish on it and seeing as how it will hold edible items I know I must use some sort of safe finish. So, I am asking all of you who are way ahead of me in that category to offer up some advice. The top and bottom layer are red oak and the seven layers in between are poplar. The poplar had great coloring and I was able to alternate the dark and light wood color. So, I would like to take advantage of that. Thanks to all who reply.

    I have no idea how this got duplicated. Sorry.

    You said a mouthful Les. We can only hope that the RED wave continues.

    You are so right and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon. We DO keep hoping though. Best of luck to you.

    I just wanted to say a "Thank You For Your Service" to all the Vets out there. Happy Memorial Day Everybody! Have a great day and Happy Scrolling. It was just brought to my attention that I might be confusing Memorial Day and Veterans Day. So, with that said, I will say "Thanks to all who have served and paid the ultimate price to protect our country".

    I would say that if it is obviously copyrighted, you don't copy it, even just for your own use. But if it's not, then go for it and if you know who designed it, give them some credit. JMHO!

    I use MDF for some of my jigs but nothing much else. Like some have said, too much dust and they can be damaged too easily. I tend to drop stuff and MDF corners don't do well when that happens.

    I guarantee you that you have not lost everything. I would need a lot of questions answered but I'll bet we can get your stuff back. Don't don anything else that might make it recoverable. What operating system are you running? Which version of Windows? If you can pm me all your info, I'll try to guide you through recovery.

    I bought a used Dewalt and I love it. They do require some maintenance especially if you buy a used one. But nothing that is going to cost a ton of money unless you buy one that is worn out. R

    So, I'm in good company?

    Whoa Katie, I just looked at your pattern and fell off my stool. Whooosey! But, nice job anyway.

    I thought I made a mistake one time but I was wrong.

    Very nice work Dave.

    You're breaking out of California? Does Governor Moonbeam know that you are going? Better check with him first. He needs your $$$ for the bullet train.

    Anybody tried the blades from PS Wood? I know they are expensive but from what I hear, they cut very well and are very sharp. R
  19. OCtoolguy
    So many blades, so little time. SAD!

    I bought a book from Amazon by the title of Boxe, bowls, and baskets by Fox Chapel. I think it might be out of print but it's still available. I'm doing a basket right now that was in the book. Here is a pic. R Nut Basket.pdf

    Thanks to all of you for your kind comments and for all the help and advice. This is truly a unique place. I feel like I'm at the Boys & Girls Club or the local Senior Center. Lot's of fun, comeraderie and learning going on. R

    Ahhh yes, retirement it good. Now, if there was just a show to go to within a day's drive.

    Just for the fun of it, try loosening the locking knob enough that you can "pull" the table toward you about a 1/4". Then stick a wood shim in behind the trunnion so it's between the trunnion and the base casting. Then try tightening the knob again. See if that allows you to "lock" the table down.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Well, you have narrowed it down to one of too offenders. Or both.Obviously the trunnion and the cast base are not coming together as they should. It would have been nice if Delta would have just sent out both pieces so you wouldn't have to be messing around experimenting any further. Keep us updated on what you finally have to do to remedy the situation.

    What somebody needs to do is take the time to put all this info together for those of us who are new to the hobby and have Travis make a "sticky" out of it so that the question isn't asked as often. Just a suggestion. R
