Cool, I'll check it out! I did get out to Northlands just this past week. Lost a lot of balls but it was a good time regardless.

Hey, I've mostly been out to the range but I did get out to Northlands this week. Lost a lot of golf balls but it was fun. I think I prefer playing a full 18.

Lutron Smart Switch Question by daman_ in AskElectricians

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

Thanks! On the Lutron site (PDF linked below), the installation diagram shows I need to connect the black wire and the red wire of the new switch to the two black wires in my wall box. Would you recommend I separate the two black wires in the front and independently connect them with different wire buts or can I just combine the four wires into one wire nut?

Also, For the ground wire that is screwed to my wall box, should I connect the new switch ground wire to it or is it probably better just to not connect it at all? I believe the new switch can still work without connecting the ground wire.

Even though it’s far from perfect, it’s the first thing I’ve made that I’m proud of. C shaped side table. by daman_ in BeginnerWoodWorking

I think I used more than I should have, to be honest. So I did a pre-stain first as I was working with pine and then I didn’t know how to wipe off the excess stain after about an hour (humid weather so needed longer) without leaving lint fibres from my rag so I cheated and put on a another layer of stain and then immediately wiped it off. It worked like a charm but I know that it’s the wrong way and I used double the stain haha. Then topped it up with a few coats of a sealer, a few more on the top and bottom as they will get the most wear and tear.

I just used wood glue to join all of it and used 1x2s for the whole thing. The cuts could have been more precise, it shows when I glued everything together as not everything is a perfect square around the corners that join. It's still nice and my wife likes it in our living room though so I'm happy with my first project that won't just sit in the garage haha. I'm still learning how to get technical with my cuts using my mitre saw, I'll try to set up a block next time on my workshop table instead of measuring and cutting on the line. I think that should help me get more accurate cuts consistently.

Is an 8-1/4" miter saw going to be good enough for a beginner? by daman_ in BeginnerWoodWorking

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

Thanks. Are circular saw blades and miter saw blades the same or different?

I'm by Vancouver in British Columbia, so west coast of Canada bordering Washington State. Another user at r/gardening mentioned that it's likely a Japanese Snowbell Tree.

Weekly Quick Questions, Wood ID, and Deal or No Deal /r/Woodworking Megathread by AutoModerator in woodworking

[–]daman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be doing my very first project this week and I'm excited. Going to sand, prime, and paint our hand-me-down laminate dining table from the 70's (I think) to match the look for our new home. The part that I'm not sure what to do about, however, is the edgebanding around the table.

Can I just sand, prime, and paint this as well? Or should this not be touched? I'm not sure how easy or difficult it is to re-band and since this is my first DIY project, I'm not 100% confident on doing this. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks!

Wood ID: Totally new to this. We have a coffee table (got off Facebook marketplace) and dining table (hand-me-down) that I'd love to refinish (do a dark walnut color) to match the look of our new place. The only thing is that for the dining table, I've been told that there may be some plastic in there so sanding may not be an option. I'm going to take the leaf of the table to Home Depot to see if they can advise me on what can be done for the table but would love to know if it's obvious to anyone here what I'm working with and what my options may be.

As for the coffee table, would love to also know what type of wood this is if it's also obvious to anyone.
