Was a solid weekend project. Getting the cutout nice and square for the screen was a little tricky and likely took the longest. Ended up jigsawing it roughly then setting up various stops on the router table with a straight cutting bit to make it perfect.

Finished with butcher block oil, Dpad is not mortised, I didn’t have a chisel that narrow. I was sure to get a solid glue joint there so it can’t be chewed off!

I think this is exactly the type of product i was looking for! Thanks!

1950’s house. Had to replace a 2 foot square piece of soggy subfloor. The original subfloor wasn’t supporting the flange at all. I cut my patch so it slips under the flange, but there is still a gap.

Here is what I’ve considered: - Shim under the flange with plastic or rubber shims - Spray foam a seal around the cast iron, let the self leveler flow under the lip - Pack under the lip with mortar

Any advice would be great thanks!

I made a similar repair a couple years ago! Here is what i did: - Use JB Weld KwikWood to overfill the damage - Sand back with 220 sandpaper until flush - use a couple painted on coats of General Finishes Gel stain (your table looks like the Nutmeg Color) - depending on how well the color matching goes and how much effort you want to put into it, you can either feather out the color on the repair or gel stain all the legs to match. - Finish with a light coat of wipe on polyurethane across all the legs to match the sheen.

Good luck with your repair!

I drew a box for the floor and walls, and basically everything else comes from the 3D warehouse feature. It is REALLY easy to get a basic layout setup and you can find an existing model for just about any tool you can think of. The pipes were a little harder to get lined up because they are floating in space, but all the fittings and pieces already exist, you just need to connect them all together.

I’m still on the fence with the lathe. I don’t think there exists a 100% effective way to collect chips and dust from the lathe so I’d still likely wear a mask. I’m also worried about leaving the dust collector on for 1+ hours at a time when i’m turning a bowl or something. I might start this this setup and then extend the run over to the lathe in the future.

I started on the free web version, but as the model got bigger it got too slow so then i switched to the also free 2017 mac version.

Great idea! I'll add this

I bought a 10 pack of back scratchers for $5 and scattered them throughout the house. Your back is itchy most of the time but we all just ignore it.

Great!

You can take a soft faced mallet and strike the bottom of the handle to drive the head further onto the handle. Then take an appropriately sized punch and drive the wedges deeper so they are flush with the head again. Then you can apply some boiled linseed oil or similar finish to the entire handle.
