    Hi there! Thanks for the great video. I have the husky gravity fed gun but I’m a little confused about the correct hose size to get. Do you use a 1/4 air hose and connect that directly to the compressor?

    We have hurricanes with power outages that last weeks. The humidity buckles the wood floors, makes the doors stick, and worst of all, causes the (even sealed) wood furniture to expand beyond what L brackets or figure 8 top attachments will allow. For me, this is brilliant. Powers out for more than two days, I’ll go under and loosen screws. May not save the finish but it’ll save the wood.

    That’s a just wrong the top will expand and contract across its width. Screwing it to the frame is bad construction. Not just Alder all woods need this consideration. The color looks awful . Alder doesn’t stain well. But Looks great natural.

    WOW - this is so amazing. I build guitars - and I'm always looking for new ways to design and finish them. The 'new thing' now is for guitars to be sandblasted - to get the ' ceruse finish' - and to achieve this - obviously I had to buy a sandblaster and all the associated accessories. I'm SOO glad I found this video. Now it appears I can achieve essentially the same result - MUCH more easily. Thank you so much for uploading this. Fantastic technique - can't wait to try it myself. You have a new subscriber! Thanks so much. Cheers.

    Maybe a small routered groove between the squares would be better than the large chamfered gap. I like to slide pieces when I play & I'm not sure about the playability of this board. Looks like the pieces would catch or hang up in the wide groove. Board does look beautiful and is a top quality build though, just not sure about it being very practical.

    That Alder is really grey! Here on the west coast we always use Red Alder, and I have never seen any other variants. That grain is unmistakably Alder though. Really a nice wood to work with. It sands/machines/glues really well. Sorta soft but thats OK. The real bear was getting a blotch free stain finish. 10 years ago Alder was really really popular here in new homes, and "older" carpenters couldnt believe it when they heard we were building custom homes/kitchens/doors out of Alder because it used to be the wood of choice for pallets. So they thought it was garbage.

Are you really satisfied with its performance and is it REALLY easy to clean up after use? I want to get into spraying finishes on my work and don't want to mess with air. Thanks ahead of time for any counsel on this. Marty

    I have a quick question. I realize that the frame is underneath and won't really be seen but is there a reason that you didn't invert it so that the pocket holes would be up against the bottom of the solid wood top and, as a result, would then be completely hidden?

    Hi Wes, great video. On all of my panels I stain and finish all sides before assembly to minimize any possible stability issues. I really appreciate that you demonstrate most techniques with average shop tools showing us all that high quality work depends on quality workmanship and knowledge as much as anything. Sure the fancy tools do save a lot of time if you’re needing to go fast, but it’s not always a requirement. A question for you sir: when I utilize my thickness planer to clean up panels after glue up, I’ve found that my surface is very crisp and I can go straight to 120 or 150 grit sanding depending on the medium. So far it seems to be very effective and saves the effort. Am I missing something by not going to 80 grit first always?

  • @kizzy3356
    @kizzy335610 сағат бұрын

    I know what you mean. It’s so smooth, I just want to slap on finish. But then you’ll have the problem of softer grain rising. So we make it rise ahead of finishing then start with 80 grit. It’s one of those things most of us know and when reminded, are like “oh yea, duh”. 😂 like myself. Hope Wes replies to you. I might be missing something.
