Couple of neander questions ...

I learned the fingertip method Steve talks about, I even got to meet Steve in his shop and feel what he was teaching. " I'll concur with arw01 on the Steve Knight smoother - I love mine and adjusting it is fairly easy. I have not had the proveledge of meeting Steve in his shop....."

Free Thursday

Cleaning out the shop and have a bunch of short scraps. Most is under 24". 4/4 - 8/4. These scraps have been in my shop upwards of 10 years so they are dry and stable. They go out with the garbage tomorrow(Fri-15 July) unless someone claims them.

Thomas Moser Finish?

You should go to http://www.thomasmoser.com and under the company tab take the shop tour. They pretty much describe how they apply the finish. Heated to 170 degrees, apply, let it set for 1 hour then wipe off. The next day burnish with steel wool and apply the same process.

Radiant Panel Heater For Workshop?

Is that enough to heat your shop? They give a figure of 3¢ an hour to operate, but that is based on 8 cent electric. Most of us in the north a near double that. 400 watt = 1365 Btu. I use a 30,000 Btu heater in my shop and it is not enough on the coldest of days. I'd pass on it.

Amazing kickback!

I have a push block in the shop that will work just fine for cuts of this sort. My shop teacher made it for me back in high school when he caught me doing cuts much like you were. He made me carry it with me every day for the rest of the term so I wouldn't forget how to cut ...

Sanders

Not really unless you use one a tremendous amount, much more than most hobbyist/home-shop folks do. They have an advantage in professional, high volume shops w/ being cooler running and typically have piped air so eliminate the power cords.

Q: Variance in Plywood thickness

My drawing board is not in my shop (no room for it). I prefer to draw in my shop, more insperational. Why cant 3/4 " plywood actually measure 3/4"?

Car boot light

The switch was fixed for nothing, and quicker than going for a drive to a spare parts shop, even if the shop had such a device.
