I am going to just pretend the grain change js a design feature.
Starting a slat towel cabinet for the downstairs bath in Sapele to match the Sapele bathtub tray in there.
I also found the source of the unknown wood I had that we discussed a few weeks ago. It is Narra and the weird wood in my stop gap is Amazonique. I knew it was something about the amazon.- 1

Happy Birthday Todd.

But, how do you do sticker swaps with the other woodworkers if you bought no stickers?

Any of you do stickers/magnets/etc. for the wood shops? Was looking at least getting some stickers to throw in packaging and I have a friend with a shirt printing business. Seems like it is fairly reasonable cost from a place like stickermule.

I love the design as well, but it is not mine, it’s Thor’s.

Sold the rolly stools from Vyper, as they were too large to roll around my mini shop and I am now building a new stool for my bench. Made to match the workbench with Ash legs, maple joints and Jatoba seat tripod bench with locking keys holding all the joints together. About to the point where I get to sit on it and see if it explodes (50/50 in my shop).
Anyone else build a shop stool? I really could not find much interesting for the design as I guess they are not popular in the woodworking shop.

I have so many useless Milwaukee and Dewalt bags and chargers laying around. They make it hard to pass up these kits, but all they add to my shop is clutter. I think I have 7 Milwaukee chargers, three Dewalt and the VW Beetle sized double charger from Makita taking up room around here.
I tend to buy Milwaukee when they are an option as I have so many batteries for them. Makita 40v is interesting but seems way overkill for anyone but pros.- 1

Looking quickly, I thought you were saying that was the same board before and after. I was going to have to learn your sanding technique to get that result! 😎
Your curly walnut version is going to be awesome.
This is what happens when you drop the Festool sanders and move to Mirka. 🙂

Whew. Thought maybe the particle board and busted ass plasticy veneer might win out.

Dropping the flaky yellow automation like a stone and changing to this. Looks fucking awesome.

Just saw the Powermatic is on the big sale going on so $549 for this filter is a killer deal

Figured some of you may want to snag one of these for the shop(s).

I assume, since it is Festool, you will need the hands of a child to hold it and the replacement blades would cost more than a pizza oven.

For the straight grain pieces (whatever the opposite of end grain is) it worked really well. However, it felt like an hour between the two thin coats was too long - maybe that’s because it was like 150 degrees outside.
Not sure I read the instructions that well, but i basically brush it on and then wipe it off 15 minutes later. Not sure I have bothered with additional coats.
