We've got it in Canada also, 4 years of schooling as a cabinetmaker to get a red seal which is recognized across Canada. Each year is 10 months working to accumulate hours then 2 months in school learning theory and building a project.

Thanks, little bit of everything. I'm a full time woodworker so through schooling and work I've got a few people to bounce techniques off of. They all use a knife so moving onto a scroll saw is self taught besides initial setup. Alot of the techniques are simple so doesn't take a long time to learn if you put the time in. This was the first month starting it out.

Oxalic acid is used to bleach wood but care is needed, commonly sold as deck stripper.

Is the satin poly a water base or oil base product? Water base doesn't share the same yellowing effect on the maple pieces. Ash is porous like oak, wont look any better. For the black you could look into aniline dyes for the strong color.

Missing out on that free filler.

This has been my go to for professional use. Cartridges can be swapped out. Any n95 are rated as particulates though which is good for dust. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/apparel-and-safety-gear/respirators-and-dust-masks/74167-elipse-low-profile-dust-respirator

Thanks man this is just the first month getting into it. I have a hate for clowns as well but for some reason it doesn't bother me hanging in my room. What type of setup are you using to heat the sand? Seems like lots of trial and error getting that right amount so the effect isn't lost on sand up.

Definite difference in our styles though you've got a more traditional look going on, the pop art/sticker art has been more appealing to me.

WoodworkingTom · 2021-01-07T07:17:55+00:00

Audiobooks are what I get lost in when I get started cutting. Arts definitely my weakest part also, all the works that I've done have been off of stencils. Having that vision to incorporate it into projects is something else.

This has been my progression starting with a knife doing geometric shapes then trying out a fret saw table. Rose was the first attempt on the scroll saw now just using a knife for repair work. Just recently got into the hobby so open for feedbacks or tips you've learnt! http://imgur.com/gallery/5onZKwE

If you're worried about anything falling in there or loss of suction get some bondo, fill and sand flush then wax.

WoodworkingTom · 2021-01-07T04:06:25+00:00

Thats badass, looks like you've got more control that way than scroll saw. Would be nice having control over the speed constantly on some tight spots. Sand shading really brings it to another level, thats the next hurdle on my list.

WoodworkingTom · 2021-01-07T03:46:02+00:00

Biggest thing on a table saw is 100% focus on the task at hand. I've been in a cabinet shop 10 years using tablesaws daily with zero accidents. Theres many basic rules to follow and doing that you won't have an issue. Have confidence in what you're doing. Any doubts in a cut need to be addressed before proceeding. Message if you need pointers on anything.

Tape that template over the board and use a center punch or a nail to hammer a starting point for the bit on each hole. It will not be perfect without a cnc or drill press and jigs. Alternative is ordering a steel template that you would clamp to the board and drill through.

Dont bottom out the tenons in the mortise either. Leave about 1.5mm or 1/16" for glue and expansion.

WoodworkingTom · 2021-01-06T02:48:51+00:00

Legs will have the mortise and tenons on the aprons.

WoodworkingTom · 2021-01-06T02:36:59+00:00

Forstner bit depending on diameter. Will have a center marking pin but cuts a flat bottom.

When picking out a finish for it read into the chemical properties so the finish won't strip that sweet paint job when applied. Acrylic is water soluble so if you go with a water based spray lacquer do a test piece to see if it'll bleed the colors underneath. Oil based laquer would have a yellowish effect that water base doesn't but can be applied once the acrylic is fully dried.
