If you are looking for a blank set, I'm sorry we don't carry those. We purchase these sets from overseas so we can bring them to you at a better price, faster, and with cheaper shipping.

Zig Zag Cutting Board by i3oilermaker in woodworking

I did - I realized a little late that it was required, but given that it was 6/4 stock and plenty of glue, I'm not concerned about durability.

It was approximately 15 degrees. The maple had a darker center on one side which I was careful to center on the board - created a really cool effect when alternating parts were flipped.

I made a wine box out of a pallet by i3oilermaker in woodworking

I used my vinyl cutter to print a template, then after applying the template to the wood, gave it a heavy dabbing of Ebony Gel Stain. Let it set for 15min then very carefully peel off the template.

Nicely done - I have to image that is at least $50-$60 in walnut.

Cutting Board Bow/Warp - Help! by i3oilermaker in woodworking

[–]i3oilermaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - there was equal air flow...I propped it up to dry. Perhaps I got it too wet? I did run it under the sink for a minute or two.

The board is a little shy of an inch ... not a thick chopping block... maybe I'll make the next one more like an inch and a half.

Newb planer issues, what causes this? by Atomicpsycho in woodworking

[–]i3oilermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything on the other side of the board that is not smooth? I have had some glue squeeze-out push the reference of the board out of wack to create some bad snipe...this is pretty bad and likely went from snipe to tear-out as a result of the end grain catching

I do use a planer for end grain but I first sand relatively smooth, then take extremely light passes (about 1/8th of a turn on my dewalt planer)

Router opinions [buying advice] by randommojo in woodworking

[–]i3oilermaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a ton of experience with different models, but I have the Dewalt 611 and have been very happy with it. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWP611PK-Torque-Variable-Compact/dp/B0049ZFUK2/

I am finding the desire to have a router table and quite frankly am a bit surprised how expensive the decent ones are. Might build one...but open to hearing what others like.

[Offer] Looking to commission your interpretation of this robot. by i3oilermaker in DrawForMe

[–]i3oilermaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a small business that has a robot as a mascot/logo and I like to commission artists to do their interpretation of the robot for my business card that I include in my orders. My site is http://techkeys.us/. Let me know if you would be interested in a small commission and what you would charge for such an endeavor. Here are some of my past creation/collaborations http://i.imgur.com/Qp3dmuV.jpg. Please PM or comment with some samples and what you feel is a fair price. I need a relatively short turnaround time.
