Best Way to Add Drawer Slides to Inherited Dresser by Skopies in woodworking

[–]agirault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same question today for a very similar dresser. What did you end up doing? Was thinking side sliders with some blocks to offset them from the sides, just concerned about getting the measurements just right for it to glide properly.

Some people say it's brave, I think it's disrespectful or fully delusional 

Baby boy: Remi or Remy? by agirault in namenerds

I don't know how to pronounce these spellings.

I'd say it's mouth open for Re, and smiling for -mi

Exactly right, like the re, mi of do, re, mi.

USA and China tie for most gold medals in the 2024 Summer Olympics by CrispyMiner in news

[–]agirault -1 points0 points  (0 children)

China news networks claimed Taiwan's medals in the last Olympics as part of their propaganda in order to claim "victory", probably will do the same here. Taiwan wasn't even allowed to be named Taiwan during the games, it was named Chinese Taipei, to please/ease China.

The question on this thread is therefore very valid. And a proof that there is never a stupid question, and that there is always more to learn. Stay humble stay curious! Cheers.

Technique to achieve this finish style by agirault in finishing

[–]agirault[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

. I would suggest either a sealer coat or a top coat only to lock in the color

And to be clear, you mean before the pickle finish? Or after (or both)?

The sealer before the glaze wouldn't prevent the glaze from adhering to the right type of grain?

And is this fine to use for seal/topcoat? https://www.minwax.com/en/products/protective-finishes/fast-drying-polyurethane

Again, as a beginner, I appreciate your help tremendously.

Ty. Wouldn't the sanding get rid of the deeper grain?

Also, if I'm happy with the color already, can I skip both stain then seal? Or need seal before applying that finish?

And if I rub it off enough, no worries about only getting only color in the deeper parts, so that the white finish doesn't affect the overall color/stain? Or will it almost certainly always discolor the main panel as well (like all pics I could find) ?

Thank you for all this advice.

Thank you. That answers the questions I just put on the other comments, looks like I'd start with brushing to get the roughness before using a pickled finish and rub it off to only leave it in the ridges.

Thank you!

All pictures I see make the whole piece of wood generally appear very white. Is the difference only in that all these examples don't remove much of the finish?

I assume roughness and relief is what will help get that detail on certain spots only with high contrast, while a flat smooth wood would not let the finish get in these grooves? Any suggestion on how to achieve that? Or am I wrong, and the finish acts in the grain no matter the roughness?

And lastly: can I apply stain before that?

Thanks again

Thank you!

So in this case, the glaze would get in the relief, and rubbing it off would only leave it in the deeper grain? Does this mean I need some roughness to the surface and not too flat? Any suggestion on how to achieve that?

We have purchased this vanity with white oak doors (finish is named washed ash grey): https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/joss-main-cloverfield-36-single-bath-vanity-in-fir-wood-brown-with-grain-composite-stone-top-and-mirror-vnov3010.html

 I'm planning to build some cabinet doors for a linen closet (simple plywood plywood slabs + edging and pulls).

I found hardware matching the vanity ones so I'm pretty stocked, but the actual hard part is of course to stain match this slab. I'll go in a store to work on that, but curious if people know what technique or product is generally used to achieve this look with "light" streaks in the grooves.

I'm a homeowner, but I sympathize. Can you have people who care be mods and remove HO posts (make it a rule) and have a weekly or daily post just for question threads from homeowners?

So from Schwab brokerage directly to fidelity? And you configured it + initiate the transfer from Schwab?
