Bushwacked Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I dont have a picture of where this is going yet, but its the top of an already made bench. Just need to finish it off with some walnut .. Getting things milled down and parts glued together, plus some epoxy to fill some holes. This shop cart is the real MVP ... love this thing!! quick layout ... gluing 2 panels together. Will run through planer tomorrow for final few passes .. finishing the night off with some epoxy .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I see the sustainers there. Are you using dominos in your glue up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Yea I was going to ask the same thing. I always use the Chicklet size dominos in panel glue ups for alignment. 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I often use dominos in panel glue ups.. Usually the same 8 x 40s that I use for joinery.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwacked Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Got some work done here this morning ... tan the glued boards through the planer one last time just to make sure both pairs were good. then glued them all together. then started working on the template for the bench top since it’s not square ... leftover walnut scrap makes for an expensive template haha ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwacked Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) First coat of ARS... was reading the can .. @Kev do you really wait 72 hours before applying the waterborne spray finish? Seems a bit much haha. (Also don’t expect an answer until you get back around bud) Edited August 14, 2020 by Bushwacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 BW, that’s purty. I think drying time is similar to applying a second coat of ARS. If it doesn’t gum up on your sandpaper, then you should be ok. You are not too much different in humidity than Houston so 3 days is quiet the possibility at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it’s dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do projects for the family that the TRUE head of the family wants and do them the way that she wants and your reputation as a good listener and follower of directions should provide you personal shop time as payment. ? 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
