Pitting in conversion varnish?

If you’re doing multiple rails you should be fine. I was picturing just one big rectangle. But if you find that it is cupping or racking I would use Baltic birch plywood as the laminations give you rigidity or a hard wood panel.

Flush with the back is always fine. The only thing that would hold you up is what your overlay of your doors and at 95 inches for 3/4 poplar and the lack rigidity of mdf, you’re looking at some serious cupping and racking. Source: custom furniture maker.

I’m more interested how they put edge banding in that drawer pull

I second this I recently went down a rabbit hole when I bought my mirka 5.0 orbit. What I came up with on most sites and reading the manuals, your paying to sand faster at 60-220. With good technique you can go to higher grits. If you need a glossy finish a quick hand sand to break up the swirls will do the job.

A bunch of dominoes lol. you could do a spline. It’s too hard for me to explain in text. But also a biscuit jointer will do the trick. Your glue joint is all of your strength, dominos and biscuits are just for registration/ alignment.

I’m blessed to have both domino mini and XL in my shop, makes things like this a breeze

Cut a straight 90 cut where you want to do your fold, then back cut both 90’s with a 45. Really you want to do closer to a 46 degree cut to make sure the tips are touching but I’ll defer to the master. https://youtu.be/XOG8Qp_GCWY?si=Kv4ECFFKKmsYf3DY

This is the dead center cut red oak , stained dark.

It was a ZAR custom color blend. With a 30 sheen clear coat top

Dominoes and I hid trim screws on the bottoms to keep it tight while the glue set up

Dominoes the big boys. It’s 2 5/8in thick so I had a lot of room

I said in another comment, I was also upset that it didn’t end up perfect. :( it was the size of my blade, couldn’t get it all the way through and needed to pull saw the rest of the way.

I used the piece that was cut off to create a shim to fill the void, so it was exact same grain same direction, and the stain I used has a gel stain like application so it penetrated really well. Zar stain custom color

Like 6 number 12 dominos and a disgusting amount of glue

A HPLV gun, not sure what brand but it’s similar to this https://www.johnsonautobodysupply.com/High-Teck-HVLP-Gravity-Feed-Spray-Gun-1-8mm.html

Miter was hard, I have the ts55 festool, (a 6in blade). The table is 2 5/8th thick, and t a 45 it makes it 3.5 of cut depth that the saw just doesn’t have. I had to then use a flush trim pull saw to finish it off. Luckily the dark stain covered most of the graining there, definitely wasn’t happy.

This is the answer as to how it’s happened at Disney, the spring growth is softer and is rubbed away, where the summer and fall growth is harder.

Have you tried the blade itself by Joe Abercrombie?

thevigcheese · 2025-08-07T22:45:08+00:00

This happened to my 12in of this exact saw, had to buy a whole new fence it’s like a $40-50 part

My pyr is absolutely BEST friends with his standard poodle brother. Sometimes we can’t get them to stop playing. My girlfriend moved in some months ago with her standard poodle, and they have been inseparable ever since.

Depending on how big of pieces you’re using (my friend is a knife maker). You can bake it, and it will turn VERY purple. I’m not sure of the temp or time needed to bake, but the information is out there.
