    Looks good Dan!
  2. That's really nice Roly! I shave in the shower. I don't think it would work for me.
  3. That is a good idea Don! You can take it a step further by mounting the dowels to a board so they don't get lost. I made this one about fifteen years ago. You can tell its old, it's for five hole disks which are hard to find anymore.
  4. Nice work Bobby, I like all three!
  5. Very cool Todd, I like those!
  6. I think the color variations are fine Brian. Commercially available Walnut is steamed to even out the color. Naturally, air dried Walnut is not. Something to know before you buy air dried Walnut.
  7. It came out nice Bobby!
  8. Cool work!
  9. Well Paul, as usual you have done some outstanding work. We have missed you here at the Village and hope you have things sorted out. Don't be a stranger!
  10. Nice!

    That's some nice cutting Todd, great work!
  13. I like that Jerry, nice work!
  14. Excellent work!
  15. Could it be that the blade is loosening in the blade clamp?
  16. Welcome to the village Dylamn! You have come to the right place. Lots of folks here willing to help! So, come on in and join the fun!
  17. Personally, I do not use my sanding mops for fine fret work, but some do. I use my sanding mops on stand up puzzles and other pieces that don't have very delicate fret work. I use the sanding mop to clean up outside edges and slightly ease over sharp inside edges if I feel the piece needs it.
  18. The diferance is the mix is cheaper! ounce for ounce, it is way cheaper, when you buy the items by the gallon.
  19. Awesome job Edward!
  20. Personally, I don't like stains. I use quality hardwoods. If I want something dark, I'll use Walnut or Sapele. For medium colors I use Mahogany or oak. For light colors I'll use maple. I know these woods are much more expensive, that's what my customers expect. I always soak the piece in my 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Then when dry a coat or two of semi gloss spray lacquer. The oil mix brings out the natural color and grain of the wood, which is why I don't use poplar because it will have a green tint to it.
  21. Some major brownie points there Sam, congratulations!
  22. Cool work Roly!
  23. Way to go Dan, they all look great!
  24. All those plans are taken from magazines and books, which means they are all copywrited.
  25. Looking good!
