I have a wooden make up table that I have prepped to paint for my grand daughter. There are a few areas that are ornate and I was going to spray but non of the paint suppliers have spray cans that match the quarts of paint that I was going to roll. There are a few hlvp sprayers that are quite inexpensive out there (rocker) for around $200 or so. Would I be wasting my money? should I save up for a more expensive one.

Greetings George…
Is there any use these days for biscuit jointers? You mentioned in a previous video that edge gluing is stronger than the wood itself and no biscuits or dowels are needed so when would you use biscuits?
Referring back to the question about straightening a long edge, wouldn’t it create a much nicer edge to use your router rather than a circular saw?
Is there a jig to help hold a flat 6 sided flat frame together until secured?

Thank you
just purchased a used craftsman contractor table saw. Is the “Align-a-cut” fence any good?
i asked the question about burning cherry and the sandpaper on my 16/32 drum sander a few weeks ago, you were dead on, i installed a more course grit paper and slowed down the feed rate, no more burning. Now the issue I having is the stock frequently stalls in the drum sander creating snipe at multiple places on the board. I’ve tried cleaning the conveyor belt, could it be time to replace the conveyor? or is there something else you recommend?
Looking forward to your timely tips.
