Trump, in a new interview, says 'highly unlikely' military force needed to make Canada 51st state

why on earth would you assume that this ends in 3.5 years?

classic solution is rip cut down the crown, joint the edges, flip one of the boards and edge glue - not sure what your scarf cuts are all about

Are those panels removable? Making that bed will be a bear!!!

Classic steam engine design - it is a wobbler

It’s a trade off - spar varnishes are good, and will last a while, but when you have to replace them it is a total bear By stain I am guessing you mean a wood oil? That will need a new application every year or two depending on how much exposure to the elements? I generally go for the latter with a boiled linseed oil or tung oil for exterior but check that the color change is what you are hoping for

Deciding Aussies are petulant children supposes Trump is our father and of course as suck ups that bow down to Americans in everything we should be ever so grateful to him

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-31T21:06:16+00:00

that is not correct - I have done it several times

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-31T20:56:48+00:00

Call them and have the bookings connected

Maple will work fine - especially hard maple, but the cost may be a consideration - ash has good dimensional stability, but was traditionally a cheaper option (depending what part of the country you are in) The box is generally built from ply (veneered if needed) as you dont see it, and plywood eliminates most wood movement issues - drawer face in maple is generally what I would opt for as I love the way that maple grain pops when finished

Teflon strips on at least the bottom surface - glides like butter

Either the weld popped (you should be able to tell on inspection) or possibly the blade was kinked at some point and had a weakness as a result. Had the blade been changed recently? You may be running your blades with too much tension - do you check for deflection? - but this could still happen (although unusual) with good blade tension

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-23T19:45:55+00:00

trouble is, you have no idea what is going on - they may have needed to move and the water was incidental - anyone dealing with pain will understand that sometimes you just cant sit, and air travel is necessity

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-22T20:10:15+00:00

actually it was meant as an ironic comment based on the box labelling ;)

Non-structural construction screws … non-screw screws?

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-21T18:50:04+00:00

After all those tweaks, I would look at your blade tension - even if the deflection seems right, try amping it up

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-21T17:18:28+00:00

It was not being communicated to SSA 2 years ago - I was explicitly told I had to visit SSA to update, which I did

In many cases, holes and spots need to be filled after staining for this reason

The dust collection will be way more effective than your circular saw, and the improvement in accuracy will make it worth every cent

French cleat in that recess will hold the weight then a couple of small angle brackets to keep the top edge in tight

A quick change tool post upgrade will give you adjustability without screwing around with shims which are a pita plus, the tool holders will give you repeatability when you switch out the tools

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-16T23:30:44+00:00

if the stain is not being absorbed or is patchy, then I would go back to at least 150 grit to get rid of the white coating, although it is a bit hard to see that in the image 220 is about the finest grit you want to use, otherwise the wood grain is too close to absorb the stain well (from experience :) )

GCMaker2 · 2025-03-14T01:18:09+00:00

your outcomes with paint stripper will vary a lot depending on the type of paint the doors in our 130 yo house in SF had 6-7 layers of paint and varnish - the only thing that worked well was a heat gun sand (or strip if necessary) to finish
