Any woodworkers?

USPS is playing with my emotions...mail delivered today but no miter...maybe get it Saturday but I wont have time to do anything with it as I have other things going on. I guess I'll have to wait till next week to do anything...

 

I was hoping to get it today. but thats how it goes...

 

If bought through Amazon it could be on a separate USPS amazon delivery truck. They are doing interesting things now with package delivery.

 

I am too far out in the sticks for that we barely get UPS fed ex drivers up here.

 

I verify the dimensions on both ends then clamp it down.

 

I have to double check the brand name but it Im pretty sure its this one...






you adjust the tension with the paddle and the length with the push button. then lock it down. E.Emerson tool

 

The “porch pirates” didn’t get it? Did they?

 

I have that one as well. I modded the clamping surfaces with wooden extensions to clamp better and line up the offset on my router.

 

I dont know how big the box will be but normally we are safe from that here. should be next day or two.

 

well Id try to wipe down with some old english first then if you dont like it, strip and refinish, sand as needed if its gouged or scratched up. If its in decent condition it may just need a strip and refinish. If you dont really care about the value thats what I would do.

 

I like the curves on it...it will be nice looking piece when you are done!

 

lots of times the fronts of those are veneer and thats what usually delaminates and comes apart.

 

Looks like a Bora. They took over Clamp 'n guide. I have a 2', 3', 4', and 8' versions as well as two double sided ones. I used the 8' to match old kirf groove siding.

 

Outside chance it's Shellac finish? If yes, denatured alcohol would remove the finish without disturbing the patina of the wood.

You can always test this in an out of sight area. A little alcohol on a rag would tell. Just be sure to hang the used rag flat to dry.

Spontaneous combustion is a concern with thinners on rags.

 

not really a problem unless its peeling up which can be easily glued. From the pic it looked like it was pretty flush. If it gets water damage then it will warp and buckle that is when you have lots of trouble. But depending on how thick the veneer is you can sand a little. But best to take light sanding if needed. Still a good piece

 

Synthetic "steel wool" on oak.

Real "steel wool" fibers will get in the pores of oak and turn the wood black.

 

Well done very nice work. I thought I knew what I was doing, I was wrong.......

 

Well then, you must leave this thread immediately and not return.......jk.
