    This is very nice .I'm going to build something similar in our front entrance. Could you tell me where you got the hardware for the shoes to sit on so they don't scratch up the cabinet. Love that idea! Brilliant.

    Bosch professional jigsaw blades for scaffolding boards

    Well I see you put it into scientific terms there Jacob. if you reread my post that is exactly what I was saying. It changes the cutting angle of the blade by allowing the bottom to advance and cut the piece differently than a straight up and down motion . Which is the zero setting. If you have...

    Bosch professional jigsaw blades for scaffolding boards

    Does your jigsaw have an angle adjuster for the blade. My Bosch will tilt the balde forward or back in 3 positions. In one position the blade hardely cuts, then when adjusted to the angle the blade likes it cutS like hot knife through butter.

    I took another look at this. See if you agree . When I take the top away it does not look that bad. I think it might be how the lid is constructed.

    I love your skill on captive rings. I saw this piece today, I did not make it. A take off on the ring idea. I find the rounded lid rim causes my eye to stop at it. which I find a bad thing, but I love the concept. I think if the lid was mor less chunky it would be a better piece in my eyes. I...

    Best sharpening video for me! And yes I flatten the back leading edge! It's important. For those who say it isn't , well enough said. And yes I use a jig, it's easy, fast, and very repeatable, again for me! I use a diamond atoma stone to flatten stones and 3 Sharpon stones. Up to 6,000. I don't...

    Paint spraying equipment?

    Yes they are a learning curve for sure, and every new paint you run takes a while to find the sweet mix. And it also needs to be a spray paint not a hardware paint that says can be sprayed. And some finishes just won't work, rember it's picking up paint with warm air and atomizing it, some paint...

    Paint spraying equipment?

    You are so right. You can put anything in a spray gun and spray it. But will the finish look good. Most of my spray paints dry too fast to actually brush on. They are formulated specific to spraying. paints that can be brushed or rolled dry a lot slower so the paint can self level, thus getting...

    Paint spraying equipment?

    All hvlp units will do orange peel if paint not thinned properly. The hardest thing to get right with the hvlp is getting your product thinned to the right consistency. Only at that point will it atomize properly and off to car painting you go!

    Paring something flat with a draw knife is like me making a road perfectly flat with a skid steer . Not the right tool for the job. You could do it if you were really good but a road grader would do it years before a bobcat or skid steer could do it.

    I hope you are signing all your work! If not, start! A good way to do it is in dark wood do it like Cindy Drozda does. Just a suggestion. She uses a gold fill pen to fill her signature. You can google her way or I can send you a link. Just signing with black marker does not stand the test of time!
