On the recommendation of someone on another forum, I bought a couple Naniwa Chosera Pro waterstones. Full disclosure, I bought the stones to sharpen some knives... They arrived today and I grabbed a very cheap, dull knife and gave it a go. I started off purchasing the 400 and 1000 grit stones. I was very pleased with my first try by hand. The 400 was very aggressive and did not require a lot of time to use. It was also very responsive in that I could feel and hear what it was doing - again, keep in mind I have no experience up to this point, but I was feeling and hearing something... The 1000 also performed well. I was able to get the knife back to moderately shaving sharpness. Definitely not the sharpest result I have ever obtained, but definitely sharp. I believe my angles were not consistent and caused one side of the blade to be flatter ground than the other. [/font][/size][/color]

Been reading glowing reports of Shellac on Walnut over the years, but my experience with its poor durability on a a cherry entertainment center 20 years ago kept me rubbing on oil for vertical surfaces, and rubbing out varnish for horizontal surfaces.  No longer….  Broke out the old shellac flakes for this Walnut project, 4 coats of 2lb cut super blond, applied with gold taslon brush, 320 dry in between, final rub with Behlen rubbing compound and finish rub, 2 coats of wax for bourbon insurance.  Walnut grain pops out, pores mostly filled, the color variation glows like a rainbow.  Makes you want to touch it when you get up in the morning.  Gonna have to try this on my Cherry, Maple and Redwood.  I’m a Shellac convert.

The wheels look to weight 150lbs or more

but look at the idea.  I see alot of these videos and look at the ideas.

I recently purchased a used Evenfall board. it is my understanding that the maker is not active currently. I and hoping that forum members can answer a few questions.

See attached images.

The fence has a corner cut off and I wonder if this is correct. 
The fence appears to be reversible left to right and top to bottom. Should I flip it?
Would the missing corner cause possible blow out in its current orientation?
If the element is original, what is its purpose?

The edge of the top plate has a shelf that starts approximately 3 or 4 ply from the top.
The surface that the plane sole contacts.
The top 3 or 4 layers are cut back for the whole length. 
Original purpose or has it been damaged?

Yep, I am left handed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turning an 11x4in Sapele bowl with a Curly Maple rim. It has an amazing shimmer in the light.

Roof over the deck is built on 6x6 posts and faces the street.  I'd like to have a light on each post.  Is there a reason why I shouldn't drill a 5/8" hole through the post(s) and rout out 5/8" for a low profile electrical box?  I put up some solar light fixtures that aren't in this pic, but they look cheesy and aren't worth anything for light.  

   

for glue

Epoxy or titebond 3 or other???

Also do you like to make a pattern or cut thin strips or how do you make them and post what you made

Just how much glue squeeze out should there be anyway?

I feel just putting on enough glue to keep it together and not clamping the snot out of it, however I want to make sure there in enough glue to not get a starved joint.

On a lot of the videos I watch they put way to much on and clamp it up way to tight seeing their hands and forearms straining.  It is a waste of glue and could be a glue failure later just how do you know?

I posted a few other things he made but not furniture.   14 minutes
