Seyco.com has what you need.

I have never had any luck with FD UR 2/0 blades. I use mostly FD UR blades except the 2/0. When I need a small blade, I go back to Olson 2/0 r blades. I have better control with them

Mineral Spirits is much more refined than paint thinner. It is clear with little smell. Paint thinner is very milky and has a strong odor. For mixing a clear finish like my 50/50 mix, paint thinner would make it milky. I’ve never tried it because I’ve always had mineral spirits available.

I would never use water to see to see what the finish looks like. Alcohol my be ok but not mixed with water. As Kevin mentioned, water is used to raise the grain to sand off when you are using a water based topcoat. I know you are going to hate hearing this, but I use a spritz of mineral spirits to see what the wood will look like with oil on it. Just like everything else in life, woodworking is a trial. You will know better next time you want to mix tropical woods with light woods. I’ve seen it happen. I’ve seen guys build a chess board with Paduck and Maple. Then sand it all down and end up with a horrible mess! The oils in the Paduck leached into the Maple.

I don’t know as I have never used anything else. What you need to do is venture out north to L. A. County and see if you can find some. Here in Ventura Co. it is readily available. Maybe look on Home Depot’s web site of the nearest store in L.A. county. I know you hate the thought of venturing out into traffic to L.A. county, but it might be worth it.

I don’t use Watco Danish oil. I use a 50/50 mix of Boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. The mineral spirits thins the oil and usually dries within 24 hours. I will then topcoat with semi gloss spray lacquer. If I need to ship right away, I’ll let the lacquer cure for two days before shipping. So, if I have a special order, I give a lead time of two weeks.

Thanks Alex for the update. Both my wife and I have been supporting Ukrainian artists such as yourself. My wife is supporting children artists and cross stitch artists, and I have purchased some of your patterns and plan to purchase more.

Just way to much room Tim, I’m jealous!

Great little project Charlie. Good for knit sweaters, not for synthetics.

Just like any other tool, the stand comes in a separate box as it is an option.

Ray, google either of those sanders. You will probably find a manual and parts list.

Very nice!

It’s good to hear about their customer service. It’s rare these days.

You can find these devices at any woodworking store or online store such as Rockler and Woodcraft. I have one I bought at Woodcraft.

I just ordered two patterns from Alex’s Etsy shop. Spent $19. My wife just ordered some cross stitch patterns from an Etsy shop based in Ukraine. They are urging to limit purchases to $20 or less. Apparently, $20 or less is easier for them to access. Let’s support Alex and other Ukrainian artists as best as we can!

It’s still there. It’s under “everything else” along with Coffee House and Hot Deals & Announcements . If you can’t find it, go to the very top of the page and click on “Community”, then click on “Forums”.

Thanks Gary!
