Re: West System question
Glen, Not all boards pickup epoxy equally but depending upon how it was sawn some can pick up a lot. I have experienced this and I had to make multiple batches because it would keep sucking epoxy

Re: The Log Mantle Project

Re: Edgebanders
Hey Brett, Do you have a good idea of how you will be using a bander? I've always glued and clamped hardwood strips, but last year I had a large frameless kitchen. I got a used hot air machine from a

Re: Edgebanders
Probably not what you¡¯re looking for but (given my scale, one man shop and don¡¯t do a lot of edgebanding) I went with a Festool Conturo (the trim router and the vacuum clamps). Does a great job

Re: Edgebanders

Re: Felder Universal Diamond saw blade, does anyone have or used one.
They don¡¯t list the USA, as a place to ship. It seems like a lot of companies out of the USA show a lower price. If anyone buys a blade from them her in the USA let me know. Thanks Doug
