  I ordered a well water treatment system
Posted by: Snipe Hunter - 10-21-2015, 09:00 PM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (4)

Sounds exactly like the system i put in my old house which had an Iron and Sulfur problem. It worked well, we now have county water and no longer have to deal with a well.

It should work well or you.

1a. Wet with mineral spirits prior to feeding into power planer. Very light cuts. Finish with drum sander or hand sander.

1b. Upgrade to a spiral cutter head on your power planer.

2. Rough dimension with power planer, then switch to hand plane - very sharp blade with tight mouth and chip breaker set very close to the edge (like less than 0.5 mm close).

3. All hand plane.

4. Find a local shop that has a spiral cutter head planer and/or large belt sander.

Thank you for the posting.

No room for error. At all.


Worth elaborating? What's that mean? If a hole is 1/64" off what's the effect? Does it require drilling out and refilling with a dowel - or epoxy?

  The right stripper?
Posted by: jgourlay - 10-21-2015, 05:19 PM - Forum: Finishing - Replies (12)

Gents, I have chair which has completely fallen apart. I'm in the process now of regluing it, and have noticed that I really need to clean it up after the reglue.

It's got two layers of finish. The base layer is lacquer. The topcoat is a mixture of dried yoghurt, hastely wiped off baby barf, years of kidsnot, a generous slathering of whateverthehell that was the motherinlaw brought for dinner in 2003, general grime, and lots of johnsons paste wax.

Is there anything that will rapidly strip off everything EXCEPT the laquer?

I have no knowledge of the HF compressors. Are they also made by CH? I've had a Kobalt upright 45gal (I needed it to be short enough to fit under my wood rack), and I've had no problems with it, and it performs well.

You may look at joining "wood barter" where you can buy, sell, or barter for wood. Just search for it and it should be near the top of the results. (it was the top on Bing search).
You can see what's up for sale or post for particular products (wood) you want.

  Pantry shelves question
Posted by: scwoodworker - 10-21-2015, 09:39 AM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (4)

How tall is the total shelving? I ask because I'd lean towards what is visually pleasing over what is the structural minimum.
