    Attaching a top to a unit?!?!?!

    Ah if you are attaching the oak to the sides then I would absolutely go with the above. You can use your domino to cut the slots for the fastener to slide into the MDF sides.

    Attaching a top to a unit?!?!?!

    Yeah, definitely don't glue it to MDF. Slotted screws for the win.

    Help please - truing the edges of a box

    Definitely just plane it flush. If you haven't already it's probably because you don't have a plane or aren't confident with it so I would say this is the perfect opportunity for you learn, enjoy!

    Mahogany table grain fill & finish

    Linseed will give you a beautiful lustrous finish by itself and is as straightforward to apply as you can get. Just keep adding more layers, let it soak in, wipe of the excess and buff between coats. Osmo tends too look quite flat, unless you really know what you are doing it will give a pretty...

    Staining Mahogany black/white...

    Tormex

    This is my experience in the UK anyway. I didn't see any of them in Canada, can't comment on the states or elsewhere.

    Tormex

    Yeah I mean if you want to grind excessive amounts of steel off your tools for no reason and can afford new ones every year then grind it off with a fast wheel. But like I said if you actually do this for a living you'll know that you can't afford to do this. In the shop our turners use the...

    Tormex

    Lowering the water bath from the wheel takes two twists of a knob, it requires about as much effort as turning on a switch and certainly less than writing presumptuous comments. The water is for lubrication, as anyone who has used a Tormek will know that ain't ever going to spin fast enough to...

    Used a froe to cleft the fronts for this cabinet. The amount of **** I got from people telling me not to use a steel hammer. You try splitting 3 inch dried ash with a wooden mallet and see how long it lasts :LOL: fff
