Want to build a bench top router table for full-size Bosch plunge router. Suggestions? Drop in plate or just a hole for the bit and fasten the router to the top? Thanks
How did you both get your starts in industrial arts?
have refinished a number of flat surfaces like lamp tables, etc. A number of times, particularly on veneers, I have sanded through the grades and everything looks great. Then, when I stain, it looks like cat-claw marks all over the wood where it looks like the courser grade scratches did not sand out. How can I prevent this? Hello Chester, Hit it with a light wipe down with some mineral spirits and use a light to check it carefully. And if you miss something with that approach, let the stain dry and sand it down again.

#43120I am making a plywood "steering wheel" for an outdoor pumpkin patch playground application. I am making it from 2 thicknesses of 3/4 exterior plywood (glued together with exterior glue). I am considering soaking the wheel in linseed oil but want to know if that is logical and will provide the best protection from the temperature extremes (central ND). Am I on the right track or do you have a better suggestion? Hello Michael, Linseed oil looks beautiful but it provides virtually no protection from the elements. I would suggest using a clear deck sealer. Paul Woodworkers Guild of America
