The usual procedure for applying many finishes is to apply liberally, then wipe off excess.

Someone had a video that included a description of applying and rubbing in just enough hard wax oil so none needed to be wiped off and wasted. Does anyone recall whose video that was, or have thoughts?

Given the expense, it sounds appealing. But uneven application is not.

All prices plus shipping.  USPS mo or paypal.  If paying via paypal please add for fees.

Haven't posted much, with regard to saws. I have been busy installing new windows and doors in my house as well as wiring, etc. etc. All that fun stuff. So I took the time to make a carcass saw for a return customer from almost 10 years ago. Wow, how time zips by. I also have been working on that folded back project from many moons ago that just kept getting pushed aside. So now, finally, I am able to make some stainless and other steel folded backs. Still needs refining, but I am working on it. If I am lucky, I may even finish my house by the time I am 90 y/o.

Future Stainless back dovetail by Ron Bontz, on Flickr
This little gizmo compresses both folded and slotted backs. The fixture was originally designed for a smaller press, but it just didn't have the tonnage required to compress the stainless backs to the radius intended. Soooo had to do a little modification. Would've liked to have gotten a bigger and better one, but then I already have a lack of space. ( and budget )

"Coming soon to a theater near you". Well, maybe. Time will tell.

My house has a ventilated attic.  There is insulation, installed in the mid 1960s, but only thin fiberglass batts covered with kraft paper.  it is not even close to being as think as the joists.  I would prefer to avoid adding blown-in insulation.  Could additional mineral wool or fiber glass batts be placed on the existing kraft paper faced fiberglass batts?  If "yes," should the new insulation be faced or unfaced?

I'm making a little case of drawers for small things in the shop - similar to a Gerstner in scale. Eight drawers ranging from 1.25" high to 2.5". I would like to have the pulls or knobs range also from <1/2" to <1". That's what I'm having a difficult time finding. Lots of knobs out there at one inch in diameter and up. I haven't been able to find very much in smaller sizes. Brass would be nice, but it's for the workshop so really anything goes. I put some 1/2" hardware store pine knobs on it and they looked like clown noses on the small drawer fronts.

(I normally turn small Shaker style pulls for this kind of thing, but I'm without a lathe right now.)

Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks...

I have the following Bosch tools for sale:

Model 3915 10" compound miter with T4B gravity rise stand. Has a Freud blade on it. Asking $400 for the pair. The T4B is $389 new, so the saw is now basically free.

Model ROS65VC orbital sander. Comes with 5" & 6" pads, as well as 6 boxes of discs from 100 - 400 grit, almost full. Asking $150.

All in great working order. Located in Charlotte, NC. Please PM for pictures - I can't get them to post to save my life (and yes, I read the instructions). Would like these out of the shop.

Thanks,
John

Folks, 

I have a trim question.  In the attached pictures, you will se a glass pane installed in the wall between 2x boards with wall board on the outside of the 2x boards.  If you were me, how would you add trim/moulding?  Obviously, job 1 is to hide the wall board edge, but I have no idea how to make it look like it was installed by someone who knew what he was doing.

Thanks,
Mark
