Starting woodworking and want to know which would be best to buy first. A planer or jointer
Darwin ask, The friction plugs are for turning wood for salt and pepper mills. The procedure is to drill the hole first for the grinder mechanism then use a friction plug to mount the block on the lathe to turn the shape you want. I hope this makes sense.

Try Neutrogena (sp) hand cream, for the rough paws
O’eeffe’s Hand Cream is great stuff! Much better that Goldbound….

Hi George. Belmont CA here. What is your favorite finish for cherry furniture with lots of joints. Do not have a sprayer.
Sawdust and shavings are not fertilizers. THey require so much nitrogen for the bacterial growth necessary to breakk them down that soil nitrogen levels are depleted. The same applies for bark mulch, but at least it looks nice
I framed out my oak tabletop with oak 1x2s and the corners have started to pull away from the table. Any suggestions?

Do they make a combination up cut/downcut blades for jig saws like they do for scroll saws?

For sawdust removal I use my Green bin, local pickup for yard waste (grass clippings, tree limbs, etc).
As you said, do not include any man made sawdust, only natural.

Follow up on plywood. I’ve contacted all my hardwood suppliers, none of them supply sheet goods. All of them don’t know where to get any good plywood.
So enjoying this discussion and Q&A…..would you please recommend a good set of countersinks for screws and so on?

I’m going to be building a large kitchen of raised panel doors. I want to spray the clear finish coat. I have an 80 gallon compressor already. Is there adequate spray equipment for a large compressor available, vs a turbine? Online people claim turbine is better, but I see no difference with a large compressor handy already.
Answered at 45:20

To John,
I’ve sent out notices to neighbors that if they want free sawdust, let me know. I use almost exclusively white oak and occasional hard maple so no toxicity issue. I had it to them in yard trash bags. Got rid of two today in fact.
John, my dad used to save his dust and shavings in drums for a local farmer who used them in his chicken coops.
when do you know when your blades on your planer are getting dull ?

Friction plugs to turn a project on the lathe. I can’t seem to get the plugs true so the turning runs straight and true.

Hey George!

Hello from Medina Ohio
I’m going to build kitchen cabinets and they will be painted white. I hear conflicting recommendations regarding the use of either an airless spray like a Wagner versus HVLP. Which option do you recommend?

Hi George. I’m just starting to get into woodworking and I’m having a hard time finding high quality sheet goods in my area. The best I have readily available that won’t cost a lot for shipping is what I can find at Home Depot, basically thin veneer, low ply count (3 layers in 1/2″, 5 layers 3/4″). What are the risks of building projects with this?

What do you, and others, do with their saw dust collected in their shops? Is there a remocal service or does it become fertilizer?
Answered at 8:20
Hi, George.
TIP ! Sometimes, we all fight with “Double Sided Tape”
I found to unroll the tape a little past the length needed, and before you cut the tape into. Peal the film past your measured length, leaving 1 /2” of the film (Tail) intact to cover the cut end. Use painters tape to cover the tape roll to prevent saw dust from getting under the cut edge of the film & the cut edge of the tape.
The next time you need double sided tape there is no frustration and or wasted tape.
