There is no such thing as a smooth one coat paint on wood unless you are happy with you pieces feeling like sandpaper.

If it is a scam or something else goes wrong, eBay will refund your money. I have received a refund several times over the years. I got a refund last week. -
Upgrade if made in Taiwan. I bought mine used several years ago. Parts and support are available from Ray at Seyco

No, I spray house paint and cheap craft acrylics. You will need a larger tip size and thin the paint some. I only use distilled water to thin. Chemicals in the water can react with chemicals in the paint and cause problems.

Some old topics should be revived.

I was wondering if you had considered the Harbor Freight saw. It would be my first choice if I needed to replace my saw. I have a 12-inch Hitachi that I purchased several years ago for a project where I had to cut many landscape timbers and 4x4s. Thinking I would sell it when the project was done, I liked the sliding saw so much I kept it.

Search amazon for diamond needle file. Then switch the search to "low to high." Scroll down until you find one yo like. There are lots of them.

3M WorkTunes with Bluetooth is what I wear in the shop. They are noise reducing not noise canceling. I were Peltor electronic muffs for shooting.

If I can get the shop time, which has been tough to do for more than a year, I'll go through the large 16.75 oz cans of 3M77 4 to 5 in a year.

What material are you suing to cut these in the video? What kind of glue are you using?

I lived in North Dakota for several years, and I know all about frozen locks, etc. I quickly learned that to use only synthetics, dry lubes, or no lubrication at all if you wanted it to move at -40F. If you used nonsynthetic oils, you had to heat it to keep it moving. We had propane heaters on our diesel engines and electric heaters on the gasoline engines. Gas engines didn't need heaters if they had synthetic oils. I don't know or don't remember why the locksmith said that, but I took it to heart and never used graphite again. I never liked the stuff.

Have you tried DuPont Teflon Lube? I use this on motorcycle chains and other things. Years ago, a locksmith told me never to use graphite in locks. He referred to it as slippery dirt.

I found these to be quite handy for the work I do with wood. I have never used them for anything else. Needle File Set, 10 Pc.

I tried spraying inside my garage using a box fan with a filter taped to it. It got a lot of the overspray, but I still got pink dust all over the garage. There are commercially available spray booths, but they are all too small for anything I would paint. The few that are large enough are very expensive.

I just finished this toy airplane.

I found a few cans at a local Ace Hardware. 3m45 and Elmer's Multipurpose I'm set for the near future but I got the last they had.

What burrs are you using? Post a link please if you have one.

Yes, I only use the others for very fine detail work which is something I almost never do. Checkout Don's Airbrush Tips I want to build one of these so I can paint indoors. DIY Hobby Spray Booth - Vent Works

Spray adhesives are gone from all my local big box stores. All brands. The shelves are empty.

It takes a while to get the hang of it. Interviews with Ken Schlotfeldt of Badger Airbrush. I make toys and picked up a lot of good tips from modelers. What they do is closely related painting toys. I spray shellac, craft acrylics, and house paint.

People seem to think airbrushes are only for tiny objects. I know someone who paints cars with automotive paint and an airbrush. He paints in his driveway one panel at a time. He has a wall full of trophies and ribbons he has won at car shows. For a compressor, he used a spare tire. There are many different sizes and styles for different tasks. Some airbrushes could easily be used to paint a sheet of plywood. First, you need to decide what you want to paint and what finish you want to spray with it. Then you can choose your airbrush. https://airbrushes.com/airbrushes.php

It depends on what I am painting. I have a drawer full and some paint guns. A gravity feed airbrush can use as little as a drop of paint at a time. They clean up easy so swapping colors is relatively quick. On the downside, if you need to see over the top of the airbrush, the cup can be a problem. Gravity feed airbrushes don't work well for covering large areas. They shine at detail work. Siphon feed airbrushes work best for covering larger areas with a single color. You can get large bottles for them. Bottles let you store unused finish. I find them more challenging to clean. They are not as good at details. As you go up in size, the ability to cover more significant areas increases, and the ability to paint finer details decreases. I cant imagine a scroll saw project that would require an HLVP gun. Looking at your intended use, I would recommend using a siphon feed airbrush with larger needle size. A Badger Anthem 155 would do the job. Badger makes a version of this airbrush that does both gravity and siphon-feed.

It looks like what I have. I paid $100 a few years ago. Mine has two speeds.

I have a Grizzly drill press. I like it. Over the years I have bought a lot of things from Grizzly. Their customer service is top notch and you can get parts from them.
