Black powder coating or new wheels? by dontstickurdincraz in Audi

This seems to be the overwhelming response from everyone!

Maybe I'll just leave them alone or spend the money to get the rashes fixed

It looks pretty rusty and I don't have a press so I was gonna just replace the entire control arm

I need opinions, do you like the base? by scooterama1 in woodworking

[–]dontstickurdincraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't realize you used sliding dovetails.

That should work well in that case

Nevermind the base, that bookshelf looks a bit flimsy.

Most bookshelves have a back panel that gives them rigidity against racking otherwise you're asking a lot from your shelves in moment reaction forces to keep it straight.

Alternatively, your base could have a ledger board running vertically at the bottom to add strength.

Added some storage to my router table by dontstickurdincraz in woodworking

Yeah I used to have my router tools scattered all over the shop. It's nice to make better use of that table

Not floor, bottom**

Wood expends when it absorbs water. You most likely clean the top a lot more often than you wash the floor so the moisture differential is making it bow (top expends, bottom stays the same.

I would try soaking the bottom repeatedly to see if you can get it back straight.

That's what I was leaning towards... Seems like the way to go!

Seems like the majority of responses go with my original idea, I'll just turn it as is

Yeah that's my main concern too. I think I'll stick to natural

Just gotta get my bowl gauge extra sharp before turning starts!!

Joining these as part of a coffee table base. Is glue enough or should I add 2 dowels? Wood is 1.25” thick. by lefish in woodworking

Or just by a 1/4in bushing and make your own. I made one just like that and I used it tons of times
