My thoughts exactly. And the instructions say use 1/4x20 and everyone uses a sacrificial fence, or should.
-
Maybe for others but, yes please. That’s the way I do it.
-
The 1/4” are too large, both thickness and width. I’ll grind the 1/4” down. I tried 3/16” and there is a bunch of slop.
-
To get the grain match all the way around, did you resaw the boards for the sides? i like your idea about the spacer. Darn, you did get the nuts to fit in your miter gauge! I guess I’d better get back to the grinder!
-
I finally found some square, 1/4 x 20 nuts today and bought a dozen and they come far from fitting. Has anyone made zci sacrificial fences for the Harvey yet?
-
Thanks guys. Never thought about the MC, same as with lumber. I will leave them as is until a project comes along.

A neighbor that worked with antiques recently passed away and his wife gave me these pieces. She said he bought these years ago and never used them. They have been stored in a non tempered shed. If I were to guess, I’d say walnut. I’ve never done veneering before but I hate to see these go to waste so may try it. Given the history, should anything be done to these before I unroll them like hydrate them?

DAMN! I’ll be less concerned about guests in the future! Thanks Chet and Kev. Does that mean there are a lot of potential Asian woodworkers out there? ?
-
Beautiful job Jamie! And I don’t see a dinner napkin shim one under the legs! ?
-
Kev, what is a bot and what kind of data are they looking for and how do they use it?

I would have to brand the lid so I would remember what was in there. I find my iron somewhat inconsistent in the depth and color which I am sure it is due to uneven pressure on my part. I now cut 1/4” thick strips of maple and cherry and brand these strips and sand them a bit for consistency of color and discard the ugly ones, then glue a good one in place.

My wife was snoring so I decided to come out to the shop to see what was going on here. I clicked on “online users” and there were 2 members and 58 guests. I guess you can say that I really was bored to have counted them all. Guests, apparently some of you are woodworkers or potential or you wouldn’t be lurking. We would all like to hear what you have to offer, as insignificant as you may seem it to be. Lordy knows we don’t know it all. Become a welcome member, no selfies required! ? just saying as a member myself.

Did you cover your little helper with a drop cloth before spraying? ? Looking great Jamie!
-
My son takes his to Chic-Fil-A and a friend in Austin takes his to Sonic. I wait until my neighbor feeds her cats at night and go steal the food from their bowls. Difference in having money and not!
-
Neat looking sliding lid box! Ideas for sure.
-
One fine fella he is!
-
How old is Spanky?
-
Do you cut any logs for the flooring industry? I remember a yard between you and Rick that did that.
-
Heck, I asked what you had going into the kiln!
-
Not so fast! You’re like my wife’s new puppy, you side with whoever has the most treats in their pocket?!
-
And speaking of getting into people’s pockets, what kind of good stuff will be going into the kiln? And if it’s really GOOD stuff, pm me and don’t advertise on here! ?
-
Don’t you be pointing fingers at me! And besides, you da man with the stash! ?
-
Yeah she does but I probably have the most frugal wife of anyone. The builders are building us big ass (by our standards) closets, each twice the size of the one we use to share. My son took a look see yesterday and told his mom that she will have to go clothes shopping everyday for the next two months so it won’t look so bare. Yes sir, logs would be appreciated before she takes him up on her suggestions.

I thought only the dishonest folks were in the big cities but I guess not. That ain’t right.

I looked both places and in their specialty drawers. There is a GoodValue hardware store near my office that carries a lot of items not found in HD and I will try there. The darn 1/4” hex heads are too wide to fit the slots. I had some of the oblong nuts left from the Incra and they are too wide. I think I will take the miter bar with me to the GV store to be on the safe side.
