I am making a frame for a xylophone from pine. As this is an instrument, the frame should not move and keep its dimensions more or less. I want to paint it with matte black spray paint, but a maker of this instrument suggested to me to paint a coat of black stain under it as a kind of base coat, that would allow using less spray paint afterwards. He suggested a solvent based stain, that is a kind of industrial stain, it is very strong and has terrible oudor. So I decided to use something ligther. I wondered what if I just used water based stain, I had enough of the smell of solvents in this project, moreover the cleaning of brushes would be a smaller issue. But I am not sure if it is a good idea, to use such a kind of stain for something that is very sensitive stuff, and should not warp at all? What do you think? Somewhere I read it may work in case I added a coat of dewaxed shellac first. In case this is true, should I sand the shellac before applying the water based stain, or I can just apply it without any sanding?

Any recommendations? The one that I have isn't very useful. The fingers are rather large and don't give a very good profile.

We have an 8x10 back porch with about three feet open space under it. The floor above is well insulated. Because the open space looks ugly, I’m going to enclose it with with vertical boards. The boards a common grade pine, varying in width from 3 to 5 inches. The boards will be tight together, but are chamfered, making V-grooves for architectural interest. 


My question is about paint.  The side facing out will have exterior grade white paint.  Do I need to paint the backside which is protected from the weather?

I would like to buy a nicker for the plane pictured. The nicker is used to a precut when doing cross grain work. If you can get me close I can fit it. We can discuss price if you have one.  Thanks in advance

I have a new Michelson woodworking work bench for sale, It is about 34 1/2 high 24 inches wide and 6 feet long. I still have a few miner things like the croque to do but it will be completed in the next couple of days. I thought I would leave the hole drilling to new buyer. He or she can put them where they want instead if getting holes in it  where I would put them. 

Asking $650 for it and it includes two Grammicy hold fasts, not pictured. I will deliver up to 4hours from Nashua, Iowa for an extra $150 or I will meet you up to a 4 hours  Drive from Nashua Ia. Farther if the price is right.

The only blemish is a small I wouldn't call it a knot exactly, and it is  right in the middle. It seems I didn't remove my marking knife before taking pictures
