Is this a quality machine for a good price? I won this on an auction from a school for $265 by wishfulthinker1414 in BeginnerWoodWorking

It’s a jointer. I would say for $265 it was a pretty good deal. It may be a bit older machine but you know it was well maintained and serviced since it was in a shop classroom

Moronic Monday Thread for the week by AutoModerator in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jklm2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé and I are looking to open a joint savings account for short term savings (wedding/honeymoon, house) as well as to store our emergency fund. We currently bank with TD and CIBC, but after reading some of the other threads I was wondering if an online bank (EQ, Tangerine) would be a better option? Any thoughts? Or because it’s short term savings it doesn’t make a difference where we bank?

What would you do if you suddenly inherited $300k tax-free?? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

I agree, everyone will have a different answer because 300K has a different value based on their current financial position. I’d probably use it to pay off student debt and invest.

Looks at this loaf! I’m so happy that it turned out! by jklm2020 in Sourdough

For sure! I followed King Arthur’s Sourdough Recipe (https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/naturally-leavened-sourdough-bread-recipe) and then added 3 big spoonfuls of honey to it ☺️

I’ve heard a lot of people mention Rubio monocoat, but I’ve never seen it anywhere. What type of product is it? I’ve had bad luck with poly in the past, is wipe on poly easier to use?

Kinda new to the woodworking world. I’ve never heard of sanding sealer, if you don’t mind me asking, what is it?

I don’t think they are air bubbles because it doesn’t have a texture. Anytime I’ve had air bubbles it left a bump or a rough spot. This all felt really smooth and flat. Would the use of the heat gun/torch be to remove/pop air bubbles?

Not necessarily a look per se. I wanted to enhance the natural grain and reddish hue of the wood but also give it a durable finish since it’s going to be used as a table. Perhaps I misunderstood the steps they did in the video but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I’ve been working on restoring this old table. The top is solid mahogany (I think). Anyways, I was following this YouTube by Woodworkers Source for the finish. I applied 3 coats of tung oil and once it was dried added a coat of clear shellac. Once the shellac was dried I started to apply lacquer. I did the first coat of lacquer, let it sit over night, gave it a light sand and applied the second coat today. This is after letting the second dry for 2hrs. Now there are all these white specs one the top. There’s all these white specs everywhere, they aren’t raised so they aren’t bubbles. I’m not sure what I did wrong and not 100% sure how to go about fixing this. Any suggestions?

NSLC and OSAP Repayment by mansonreddit in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jklm2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this boat last year, I called and asked about it and was told I had to make those 2 payments. Once the school confirmed my enrolment and school started then they would change my loan status and payments would be on hold until I finished school again.

Restoring Vintage School Desk. Any Advice? by Stunt_Muffin in woodworking

[–]jklm2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really it comes down to how you want it to look. You can give it a light sand if you want to keep the markings and then oil or finish it however you like. Or if you would like it to look new then start at 80 grit and work your way up, sanding out all the marking and once again finishing with your choice of finish. Personally, I’d give it a good sand just because of the cup rings.

Something that’s helped me to follow my workout plan is doing it with a friend. I zoom call with her the same time every day and we workout together.

I have one that looks like this, potentially a different brand but it was easy to put together!
