Hi Everyone
How to Select a Wood-Burning Stove
Ever since I was a little kid, there was something pleasantly hypnotic about
a home heated with a freestanding wood-burning stove, something that spoke
to me. While I couldn't verbalize it then, what I later realized was that I
liked the direct,
Beldin wire products has a pliers type stripper that works
extremely well.
The only down-side to it is that it is a bit bulky to be
using behind an instrument panel or other extremely tight
spots.

Hey Listers,
Does anyone have the Ryobi bd4600 sander?
I am starting to look around for an upgrade to my sander. It is starting to get
motor bearing squeal. The one that I own is a brand named Quality actually in
my opinion not representative of the product.
I just saw one nice review on the
Hi Karl,
When I get a bit of time later today or more likely tomorrow I'll try to
find you some British locations. For woodworking though, something like
about 600 grit is about as fine as you need. Rubbing compound between coats
of varnish or varathane will produce a final wonderful smooth
Automotive goes to 1500 grit before you get into the soft
media buffing compounds.
This stuff gives a whole new meaning to glass smooth

Dale,
A while back you mentioned that you were cutting dove tails. I would like to
know what equipment that you are using?
Also does the jig require a free hand router or do you invert it on a router
table?
I have been toying with the idea for a while but so far hadn't really had the
need.
Rob, is it an electrically powered hydraulic system?

Yes. 4/0 or steel wool is often used after a finish has been applied to
rub out any imperfections in the finish or dust that may have settled on the
wet finish. It is also used to reduce a high gloss to a satin finish and
sometimes is used to apply wax.
But you will not be removing any
you know there are a great company, and I mean that. They have informative

Hi Lenny,
I use a bench top jig. I am sorry I can't tell you the brand right off hand
there are a few very similar, I think I have the manual up stairs so next
time I stump up there I'll have a look for it.
This is not the sort which allows through dove tails or adjustable ones, I
am not sure
You certainly can however you must be careful not to introduce any moisture
or it rusts immediately and will stain your wood. You also want a very fine
grade, double or triple 0 but I can't tell you how that relates to grades of
abrasive paper. Mostly I do not use wire wool personally and you
I agree there, as 1500 on a palm sander does great! I can't imagine
putting serious RPM at it. :)

for very fine sanding, I get Emory cloth, which can go down to a 1200 grit,
which is very fine, also if you are polishing up a finished product, you can
dampen it, which helps to take out any small imperfections!

Dale,
Thanks, I am not in a hurry. So far I have only made a few drawers and used
a lock joint. I heard about a jig and talked to the man who designed it.
With this jig you clamped the stock and used it at your router table. He
thought about it and said that he knows that blindfolded he could

Hello,
I would be interested in learning how to make different kinds of joints.
Are there some basic jigs that help you create a variety of joints for
making drawers, boxes, shelves, etc?
I have a good selection of router bits. I just don't know what they all
do and what kinds of joints I can
OK Mickey,
I went out and bought the Pocket Hole Jig System. It was $140 at Low's.
The kit looks great. Do you know where I could get a manual for using
it?
I really am looking forward to making pocket holes.
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Lenny,
I have had mine for a couple of years now and I am pretty sure I spent
around a hundred bucks Canadian maybe a little more. It is well made, sturdy
and has served be well. Usually cheap is cheap but expensive isn't
necessarily more valuable.
The only limitation I have not liked is
Hi Max,
Mostly you shouldn't need much more than hand sanding on a veneered plywood.
Getting rid of excess glue may want a little more work but knock off as much
as you can first with something like a paint scraper or, with great care a
good sharp chisel.
You can probably start with about 120
Yes dale, it is birch. I'm now applying the iron on tape on the edges of
the plywood. It looks pretty good. I haven't made too many gouges with my
knife while trimming the tape. All this is a learning experience.

That tape can cut like a razor too so you might get a little blood into the
finish. They do make a special cutter for the purpose, I don't have one
though but a small jack plane over on an angle can also help speed trimming
then a little finish with sand paper. I also often use a sharp but
Hello Keith,
I will try to help you understand some of these joints and how you might
create them. I assume if you have router bits that you also have a router. I
wonder if you have a plunge router and what other tools you may have. Some
joints like dados and rabbets can as easily be made with
yes, on both counts.
Re: the wire stripping, a long line down the wire allows for the parting
of much insulation. If necessary, shaving that side flat and then slice it
down.
I think the company I like the most is Columbia River. They use a nice
metal that allows for quck sharpening.
