Then I would get a piece of similar wood same grain direction and whittle it to fit into the area. Take your time and do a really good job. Once you got it to fit I would glue it in place sprinkli...

Re: What finish for chisel handles?

IMO it depends on your personal taste and possibly the environment it will be used , jmo all of the above would work or a good coat varnish or poly once you have the color picked out . One person I knew dipped his in a coat of that rubber stuff they dip tool handles in . I have no idea how well it ...

Re: Just Finished My First Shopsmith Project

Looks great!
Tip: a coat of shellac and a very very light sanding will prevent maple from botching when staining.

Re: Shopsmith 6000

Ed, I can't speak to the unit in the video, but I own three DC3300's and worked with dozens of them during my days at Shopsmith and I assure you, a clean or new hood will not be taunt. I'll happily demonstrate in a video. Well my DC3300 must be an exception, because when I turn it on with a clean h...
