  Melbourne Tool Company
Posted by: EricU - 04-09-2024, 12:36 PM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (3)

Fine Woodworking sent me a promotional email about this company.  Since Rob Lee had a fit about the Katz-Moses router plane, I'm pretty sure his reaction to these planes isn't going to be positive.

I understood, but didn't really agree with his objections to the router plane.  However, this company could probably have worked a little more on developing their own distinctive style and not look like so much like they are reselling Veritas planes.

  Spots on Walnut Table
Posted by: Busdriver - 04-09-2024, 12:23 PM - Forum: Finishing - Replies (1)

I just finished and delivered a walnut table. I had to go back to the couple's house because they noticed spots on the table.
I used PMK woodworking's 50/50 wipe on poly method. I put about 24 thin coats of oil based polyurethane on, then sprayed the last coat.
The spots look like finger tip marks. I sanded the heck out of this table with 80, 120, 150, 180. Nothing was ever spilled or set on the top during sanding and finishing.
I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any idea what went wrong? I feel sick knowing that this happened to this awesome table.

Thanks
Eddie

  A case to store a few chisels in?
Posted by: bandit571 - 04-09-2024, 10:38 AM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (29)

The chisels..
   
Plus a few others running around loose..Paul Sellers had a Project in his Masterclasses Free Videos...of a Bench top organizer...though I could use the one I made from that video series..
   
Will need to expand it a little bit, more "elbow room" is needed.   I have 3 planks of Clear 1/2" x 5-1/2" x 24" pine "Project Boards"...

Have a few details to attend to, though..
   
In this case, the "floor" for the compartment sits in a 1/4" x 1/4" groove....which I then had to go around and plug ( with Rosewood scraps, BTW)

The ends were not much better...
   
Plus, that floor sits in a rebate, along the front edge....but can not be allowed to be seen,  Not happy with the end grain showing at each end of the drawer, either..

May do an Overlay drawer front?  Yet, have it close flush with the upper front. 

So..IF anyone wants to follow along....stay tuned...

  Laundry Room Make Over
Posted by: lscraig - 04-08-2024, 08:45 AM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (1)

We have been in our house 27 years.  The kids are raised and out.  My wife of 31 years decided she needed to upgrade the laundry The original cabinets were white MDF and a lot smaller inside than they looked.  Anything larger than a bottle of detergent had to be stored in the garage.  The walls were a robin egg blue with wallpaper border at the top. As seen in the "BEFORE" photo, the laundry was cluttered because anything that wouldn't fit in the cabinets was stacked on the dryer top.

We went to the local PPG paint store in search of color palate ideas.  She grabbed a card with 5 different "Shades of Gray".  Yeah, we made our own jokes about that. 

Before Picture

The laundry ended up having light gray walls in eggshell sheen.  My wife also decided to scrape all the awful popcorn off the ceiling and upgrade the light fixture

The cabinets were painted with three coats PPG Break Through Gray Flannel satin finish.  Cabinet interiors are simply clear coated with General Finishes High Performance Satin Poly.  Everything was spray applied.  The PPG Break Through had to be thinned between 10-15% with water to get it to flow out of my Porter Cable HVLP with a 2.2mm needle.  The clears were designed for spraying, so I was able to use a 1.4mm needle with them

After Pics

Cabinets are 1/2"/12mm maple ply with poplar face frames.  Interior shelves are 1/2" plywood with maple edge banding.  The Break Through paint is self priming and went on smooth as butter and appears to be tough as nails.  It stuck to everything, dried fast and hard allowing for smooth sanding between coats.

The center shelves are left over 1/2" maple ply with some red oak front nosing stained dark. The front and top of the shelves are top coated with General Finishes Satin WB The rest of the shelf box frames is scrap poplar and supports the shelves from underneath.  The center shelves are through bolted into the cabinet carcass and supported with 100# drywall anchors at the back.

This is the first time I have used PPG paint as a cabinet color.  Very please so far.  The one take away from the "Break Through" paint is that it dries superfast, which doesn't allow a lot of time to flow out if brushing with a brush.  A decent quality, fine bristle brush designed for water-borne acrylic is going to be a must if not spraying.
