    Looking good! I typically pre finish my panels with a couple coats of whatever I am applying to the finished doors usually poly or something similar. This helps eliminate the lines you referenced as well as seal them up on all sides.

    Plunge Cutting on a TS

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have done it but the last time it cost me the tip of my finger. Use a Festool plunge saw (I thought of this while getting stitched up in the emergency room 🤦‍♂️) or a router not worth the risk. Fwiw I was making custom grates for my office desk to vent the computer cabinet.

    As much as I like taking classes that one will probably never make my list either but just didn't want you to miss out 😄

    I'll be there on 6/11 for the Michael Fortune #1 chair class as well as the jigs class the weekend before and his bs class the sat after. I am looking forward to this one should be a fun build and lots to learn.

    In addition to Kev's comments I think they look cleaner since you don't see them especially if you have a nice joint eg dovetails or box joint. The first time I used them it took a bit but as Kev stated once you've done it they are pretty easy and soft close is definitely nice.

    Seems the biggest problem is a shortage of shipping containers.  I get almost weekly updates from vendors that I buy supplies from.  They are dealing with big delays from their suppliers because the suppliers are waiting for empty containers to show up.  Containers were used to ship PPE's to parts of the world that normally don't have a lot of shipping commerce so the empty containers are kind of stranded in those ports.  And they can't build new containers fast enough.

    I got an email from Everlast welders yesterday that stated they are 6 weeks behind due to a back log of container ships in the port of long beach. They had a pic attached that showed so many dots (ships) that I didn't bother to count.

    Review of Harvey MG-36 Miter Gauge compared to Incra 1000HD

    Yesterday, I received an email from a guy that was having an issue with the micro adjust on his miter gauge..  I took some pictures and explained how it was supposed to work but, his was obviously defective.

    Long story short, he reached out to Harvey who is replacing his miter gauge.

    Just wanted to add this in this thread as I think it speaks to Harvey's customer service.

    No kidding! The micro adjust is the bomb that and its simplicity continue to be my favorite features.

    Well if you get the adjustable bed you probably won't need the slates.  Most of the ones I have seen have their own frame and leg system.  Same with the sleep number beds.

    Agreed. @Kev if you happen to go with the Sleep Number adjustable bed I would be interested in how you tie it all together.

    I strive to do the best I can and fix most things I mess up but I rarely point out my mistakes anymore...well except to woodworkers 🙂 

    Case in point I recently finished a second Urn in a month for a friends funeral. On the starburst top the finish created some interesting ripples where the pieces came together, try as I might I could not get them out and finally ran out of time so out the door it went. There were about 75 people at the funeral and you know, not one mentioned the issue but several mentioned how beautiful it was in fact the pastor pulled me aside and said it was one of the nicest Urns she had ever seen, major stroke to my ego LOL

    I really wanted to take a picture at the funeral home but thought it might be viewed as disrespectful.  They had the box on its side with the cross facing the attendees and let me tell you the curl in that veneer looked amazing with the dimmed lights reflecting off it, even I wasn't thinking of the mistake in the finish at that point LOL

    Branding Irons

    Interested to see what you decide. I have been thinking about a branding iron for a while but the reviews seem to be all over the map almost to the point that I wonder if there is a learning curve some folks aren't aware of.

    Damn!! That's up there. I think a standard metal wye delivered from Oneida was like 60ish and I thought that was bad. I will say the first time you have to change your duct work it is nice, drilling out rivets and pulling off metal tape is a PITA, luckily in 15 years I think I have only had to do it twice.

    Moxon Vise

    I built one a few years back and like it. I use it on the back of my Roubo is  the clamp version. The only thing I don't like is taking it on and off so I am thinking about building a new top for my other bench and build the moxon on the end and then putting a pattern makers vise on it. That bench has the Noden adjustable legs so I can get it up as high as it is now on the top of the Roubo.

    @Chet or anyone else that has this saw, have you upgraded to the Carter guides and did you notice a difference?  Obviously I'm going to run the stock set up for a while, just looking to the future..

     

    Kev I have the ceramics on both my Laguna bandsaws and would never go back but it seems to be a love or hate proposition. I'm in the I love ceramic guides camp.

    BTW congrats on the saw!! Looks like a really nice unit.
