swt61 Posted March 15 Author Report Share Posted March 15 (edited) Working on a Factory Trawler in the Bering Sea, with lots of Norwegians on board, I find in general that Norwegian wood tends to be smallish. Not that that's a bad thing. I don't like any competition in that realm, and as I've stated many times my real interest lies around back.

And if the sailors were dismissed for being naughty, would they be (dishonorably) discharged Sea Men? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 nice router table! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 I really do think that a router table is something that should be built as apposed to bought. It's a pretty basic project, and it's great to build to the size your shop will accommodate. And accessories can be built to need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 My favorite router table plan is still the Woodsmith plan that Al and I built 6 1/2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted Monday at 12:45 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:45 AM Hi all! I am repairing a piece of walnut that broke off and am in need of a stain to darken and color match. I am not sure what the best approach might be - tinting a linseed based oil finish or applying a water-based stain and then finishing with the above oil based finish. Any suggestions?

swt61 Posted Monday at 04:18 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 04:18 AM Is the repair also Walnut, just lighter in color? If so I would start with a strong brew of black tea. Keep applying the tea until the color is similar in tone. 1 teabag to 1 cup of boiling water should be about right. Apply the linseed finish afterwards.

swt61 Posted Monday at 04:24 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 04:24 AM If that doesn't darken it enough, switch to a strong coffee brew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply the linseed finish afterwards. Thats correct. First photo is raw after the repair and second is one coat of the linseed finish. Think I need to go darker quicker without applying more finish coats.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for knowledge acquisition - water based stains go on before an oil finish but oil based stains can go on anytime (including between coats?) I need to grain fill a bit so my worry about adding a stain on first is that I blow through it as I am trying to fill in the pores with the oil finish. I would prefer something I can apply anytime hence the question about a tint in the oil finish.

swt61 Posted Tuesday at 01:01 AM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:01 AM You can absolutely tint the oil finish. https://www.rockler.com/mixol-universal-tint-kit-colors-1-12?country=US&sid=V91117&promo=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_content=pla&utm_campaign=PL&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwYSwBhDcARIsAOyL0fhvzyuqSXYKR7dz3k9BVFysImMPrvLi49h2ttN7xCJdcfYUNxeiaM0aAnSHEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
