I’m looking to switch to pre-cat lacquer for most of the stuff I’m doing. Applying by hand and waiting just takes to long. For those that need a new safe saw, checkout out the Felder Kappa 550 with PCS. It’s only a couple more bucks than a SawStop 🙄 Report

July 13, 20215 yr comment_859507 Prusa Pi. My favorite, after Apple of course. I don't speak your language, but I'm assuming that's some type of 3D printer app? Edited July 13, 20215 yr by swt61 Report

Raspberry Pi is a micro sized computer running Linux that is used as a controller for the 3D printer. Prusa is the brand of 3D printer, based out of Czech Republic. Report

July 15, 20215 yr comment_859674 A small box, to house incense for Fitz. It will have 4 drawers. Going to highlight the plywood edges, and stain it all. Carcass is cut, glued and assembled with micro pocket screws. Edited July 15, 20215 yr by swt61 Report
July 15, 20215 yr comment_859675 I like the look of those corner clamps. I have tried several varieties and have not liked the results from any. How are those? Report
July 15, 20215 yr comment_859681 They're pretty good. These are Al's. What I like is that you can snug them up, tweak the wood, then clamp tight. Edited July 15, 20215 yr by swt61 Report
July 16, 20215 yr comment_859774 I wanted to stain the box, inside and out, before the drawer dividers made that almost impossible. I made sure to leave the datos stain free, so that I can get a good glue up on the dividers. Stained the 1/4" ply for the dividers as well. When I cut the dividers to fit, that will give me good unfinished edges for glue. I decided on Espresso. I think I may give it another coat once it dries. That'll require another day before I can get the dividers in, but I think a bit darker is what I'm looking for. Edited July 16, 20215 yr by swt61 Report
