It is used as thinner for oil finishes and as flavoring agent in food manufacturing. It is not necessarily orange, when purified it is a colorless liquid. I got my bottle of it from Dictum here: Pure Orange Oil, 250 ml The description from Dictum reads: You can also find it on Amazon. It is a...

Just tried olive oil and orange oil on my old first gen Go Pro. Olive oil works, but not as good as ornage oil. Orange oil is much thinner than olive oil. I put some orange oil on paper towel and then put it to surface and twisted it with my finger for couple of seconds. As result coat was...

Had the same with Microsoft Arc Mouse for Surface tablet. Was not using it for a year or two. Then I found it very sticky, almost like wet sticky. I was able to remove the top coat that became sticky. Used IPA and a lot of rubbing. Now that I think about it, it would be better to use some not...

Zinc dust might help! :ROFLMAO: But I did think of trying to plate cast iron tables with Nickel. It is possible to buy nickel electrolyte and then use a sponge with electrode and second electrode is the table itself. Some rubbing (wax on, wax off) and very thin layer is there. Heck, you can...

I would definitely second that! The right way to look at it is through efficiency or productivity. How many planes, their sizes and settings or tuning thereof - all should allow you to do the job faster, better and less tiring. And not any job, but the one you do or do the most. The rest stems...

First try to plane wide end grain, like a factory made pine panel. If that goes well then there is a chance it will work with shooting board.

When I was learning how to plane I read and saw a lot about winding sticks and was going to make some, of course. But when I built my workbench 100+ kg and flattened the top with #7 it turned out so great that I used it to check other surfaces for flatness. It also takes seconds to use. I just...

I think I saw in some youtube videos comparisons of these three models and one of them saying something like "A3-26 is a toy, get A3-31 instead". Probably because A3-31 is a more machine for not very much more money. I got A3-41 last summer and FB-510 bandsaw because I don't plan to buy any...

Happened to mine AC400 too. Not completely though, but it would only turn on at Low speed and when I try to set it to any other speed than it was on initially it will stop spinning until I press Off and On again. Heh, I was investigating what was wrong and capacitors are always first to check...

I use SketchUp because I can. I learnt how to use it well. I use pencil and paper up to my abilities to draw. I cannot match in accuracy of proportions using pencil. I don't use a ruler on paper because it is easier to go to SketchUp when accuracy and straightness is needed. What was the...

Interestingly, no one says anything about direction of cut here. I also didn't have much luck with my corded jigsaw. It would cut alright 8 mm floor laminate. And cross cut pine and beech. But would completely stop cutting when ripping. When I wanted to rip 60 mm pine - I couldn't cut even...

I print my functional parts with FormFutura ApolloX, which is some ASA based mixture. Prints really well with 250°C nozzle and 90°C bed temperatures. The color selection is not that great, but there is white and black that I consume a lot for functional parts. I use TierTime UP Mini 2 fully...

I wanted something to print well with ABS/ASA, since I'm mostly interested in functional parts and things repairs. Got TierTime UP Mini 2 for 480 EUR. It has rather small print space, only 12 cm cubed. I think of it as smallest of expensive ones. Jumped from SketchUp to Fusion 360 and already...

I would find something to insert into first hole before drilling the second one. Piece of wooden dowel in 19mm or 3/4" diameter?

This workbench design looks somewhat similar to what I have built, albeit it is from solid wood and heavy, to do hand planes dimensioning. So, the dark side bench I have: I then added middle top part, so it actually looks like this: It is build from countertops, basically, form 27 mm beech...

Ah, I found the video where I saw the difference: So, it is indeed a different cutting angle. About 45° for straight knifes and about 65° for segmented knifes. The drawback is that it is harder to push wood over such cutter. And no tearout on hardwood but not smooth surface on softwood...

Could you perhaps measure the cutting angle? Because given this: and this It might be that straight knifes have smaller cutting angle. Therefore, good for softwood but not so good for hardwood. And spiral segmented knifes have bigger cutting angle. Which makes them better on hardwood but...

Timeless design, great addition to your legacy! Forgive me for slightly unrelated question, but how do you clean fine dust on workbench and under it (and now on top of this cabinet) after sawing with a hand saw? I ask this question because in my head this place under the top of my workbench is...

Phew, I have a chance then! I can sleep well again. :) English is my second language and I got it differently. Hehe, under her apartment, not under her! :) Anyway, my tools (or machines) are too big and probably scared her away. About the original topic now. I like scientific approach and...

I plan to do that too, to hear it for myself. There is a young student girl above the basement. I showed her what machines I have put under her apartment. Maybe she doesn't realize yet but her reply was "as long as it is quiet after 10pm". Also I was thinking to make something from wood for...
