Re: Hello everyone.

 

Yes, it was made by hand and I am trying to prevent this art from being lost.
Re: Hello everyone.

 

I'm guessing the inlay work was done by hand?? It doesn't have the look of CNC'ed inlay.? Sadly, it seems like hand done inlay is an art form that's slowly fading away.? The work is beautifully done.? I hope you're proud of the accomplishment!

Burak,

Thanks for the details. BTW, we like people to sign their posts. Since you are new to FOG, just thought I mention it. You can set your email app to automatically insert your signature, so you don¡¯t have to type every time.

Thank you for liking it Imran. It was a work that took about 350-400 hours. The work on the base was done both decoratively and for tobacco pests that do not like the smell of Lebanese cedar. The purpleheart was put there just to make it look good.

Hello everyone, I am new to the Forum. I don't know if we can share the work we do with our Felders. But since I see you as my friends, I wanted to share a humidor box I made with you. It is made of wenge wood. I used Spanish cedar inside. I used Lebanese cedar and purpleheart for the floor coverings. I made the Dali on the lid using 243 pieces of exotic wood with the marquetry technique. I hope you like it.

Hi Burak,

That is amazing. How many hrs of work is that?

I don¡¯t know humidors. Is the feature on the bottom of the humidor decorative or has a function to keep cigars fresh?

Re: How much pressure does your pin nailer require?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks Natanel, I called them today and they said that 90 to 95 PSI should do it. He did say that the hardest of woods could require 110PSI.

Asked me to check a few things which I will do on Monday, when I am back home.

One more thing, I checked the manual


It says not to exceed 120PSI, and that the operational pressure should be around 70-100PSI.
It is strange you need such a high pressure for 5/8" nails

Re: How much pressure does your pin nailer require?

 

Imran,

I also have the Grex 23g pin nailer, and 90-100PSI are sufficient to drive the pin through the surface.
I don't remember if I used it on hard maple, but for soft maple/walnut I am able to drive the nail (1-1/4") all the way.
?
I think I have a piece of hard maple at the shop and can try it tonight if that helps.
Processing Rails & Stiles for Cabinet Doors: Space Balls compatibility with 3/8¡± groove

 
Edited

I ordered 0.26¡± balls from panel buddies. I called them to confirm if they will be okay compressed to 1/8¡± (1/4¡± wide and 3/8¡± deep groove; 1/4¡± of the panel tongue to be in the groove) and they said it should be okay.
?

I thought that these made clamping a bit harder than it needs to be.
?
Is my use case considered normal?
?
Panel buddies also offer rectangular pads. Has anyone used these?

Got a long drive so might as well use this time to ask a few questions.

Finished my first raised panel door project and I have some questions. I would post them separately so the discussion is easier to follow.

¡°Make the back of the driver blade slightly longer than the front¡±

Thanks Mike. That is very clear.

You can remove the driver from the tool, or hold the triggers down and use a grinder carefully.?

I don¡¯t recall where I got the information, but I use 90 PSI for Porter Cable pin and Brad nailers. I¡¯ve never had a problem using that pressure.

Hi Mike,

Thanks, this is very helpful. One thing is clear with all responses and my own experience that the pin nailer is no different than other nailers and should not require more that 100 PSI. So I am going to stop worrying about the compressor side of the equation. It however did reveal that the cut-out had drifted by 5 PSI which is now fixed ?

Since I was pinning the stiles in the middle of the rail tenon, ¡°shiners¡± was not a concern. I am assuming you just added it as a precaution and nailing with chisel end along the grain (which I sometimes did do due to the clamps being in the way) is not a contributing factor for the partially driven pins.?

I will be back in shop on Monday and see what I can do with the beveling of the driver blade advice. Is the bevel on the tip (end) or the back side of the driver?

Hi Imran,

Try holding the triggers down (without nails) and see how long the driver blade extends. If it
extends 1/8¡± or so, you can put a slight bevel to the driver blade ¡®back to front¡¯ which tends to solve the problem. ?I do this to all our nailers/staplers. ?To avoid ¡®shiners¡¯ turn the tool 90 degrees so the

Back when I worked for Senco, we rarely ran tools over 95 psi as it increased repairs, and in
those days we drove our van to the job site, and did it for free¡­

What brand of cooktop do you have? My GE is available without the metal bezel, which I agree is totally a nuisance. The controls are clustered near the front, so spills and an errant pot are not much of an issue.
?
Take care with the controls, ours are clustered at the front too but it hasn't stopped the odd surprise when something that was just resting gets heated-up unintentionally.
FYI it's a Richmond 1100Ei "hot jalapeno" range cooker, which I've fitted into the old kitchen fireplace. Aside from my earlier comments, it's been great, but there's a slightly entertaining story about how we got it.
The house was built in the 1930s in a late arts and crafts style. It's quite large and everything is very solid - no studwork. I had the entire heating and plumbing system replaced shortly after we moved here and this involved one of the guys running some pipes through a wall from what was shown as "the butler's pantry" into the kitchen. I heard him SDS-drilling for a long time, and then come back for battery packs and a drill extension (it was already 12+ inches) so I told him to give up and try another route. A week or so later the cooker circuit started to trip when one of the ovens was being used. To cut a long story short, I eventually found that where he'd been drilling had come out in the kitchen, but several feet from where he'd thought it would be because of the unusual house design - he had drilled through a wall, through the back of the cooker, through some internal skins and into one of the oven cavities. Moisture was escaping the oven cavity when it was used and causing the RCD to trip. Eventually his insurance paid for the full cost of a new cooker so, as the old one was ancient and due for replacement, it was not a bad result.
Apologies for the rambling tale. Now back to discussing the organised damaging of pieces of wood ;-)

Hi Mike:

OK, good to know about Liebherr, but did I read your email correctly? You bought a fridge for your mum ten years ago, and she was 98 and still loves the fridge ¡­ so that makes her 108? !!!
