I Googled that ... it's not even a thing.
I should put my laundry away.
82% humidity is still okay to apply shelac, right?

Um, okay. Does this involve the hatchet and a package?

I wish it wasn't, but it is if you take a bite of ground turkey and begin choking. Yep, your throat is connected to your nose. Eeeee.

Nope, but thanks for the creepy comment on Amazon.
If that comment describes your current situation, man, I'm really sorry about that. That's got to be tough. And to answer your question, "yes." Very easy to carry.

LOL... No, that comment is far removed my personal situation.
It came from the depths, ok, maybe not that deep, of my sick and twisted mind.
And your welcome.

It's probably too late, but I hope you only tried 2 coats at most. You'd likely get a haze that develops if you build up too many coats too quickly.

It's Walter's birthday. I'm going to punish an amp and have a few pints of Guinness to help him celebrate.

Hey, thanks. I never made it to the shop so nothing got coated. Today is 68% humidity and 2 coats is usually my aim for one day.
I caught that post where you said that you were a garage based furniture builder. What is it you build?

Thanks. Starting new job Monday, left my last one after 18 years. I do hope I have some better years coming.

So far this year I've sold a kitchen table and a king size bed frame. I built about a dozen kitchen cabinets that I intended as a sort of show room in my garage. But after doing the cost analysis, I determined that furniture was in my best interest, and cabinetry strictly a 'made to order' deal.
Currently I am working on a unique bookshelf based on an italian design, that I've modified for both looks and functionality. I hate the sliding doors, and am adding drawers between the first and second lowest shelves, as well as shrinking the overall size to about >6'H x 5'W. Oak is the first shelf, and the risers, hand planed curly maple makes the other 4 shelves. Even doing oak inlays on the shelves, and jointed oak and maple drawer fronts.
Is this your profession?

Alex prefers working other people's wood as his doesn't work so well....

I'm glad you know that the problem was with me, not you.
Yeah, I'm a carpenter ... technically. The truth is that I'm a drywaller. I learned finish carpentry as a kid with my father. Part of what I'm finishing with shelac is Mahogany trim for an entertainment center I built. I gotta go bring home the rest of that trim. Film at 11.
Diggin' the idea of inlays. What's jointed oak? Tongue and groove or when you glue up a board after having used a jointer? YAA/fuzz asked me about saws. You have any preference, given the choice of a DeWalt 12" slide and a Bosch?
It's funny how my tastes have evolved since I actively started building and refinishing different pieces. Currently, Cherry is king but that's only because it's free. I'm building a computer desk and now that you mention it I think it's gonna get some curly Maple inlays ... maybe.

You're still working on that thing? You're slower than molasses dripping down Doug's a$$ crack on a cold day.
Before you ask, Adam told me. I will say it was a little creepy when he started making MMmmmm sounds though

The finish, the finish, the finish. I've learned about shelac though. You'll see.

Just not how to spell shellac
Naw, the work looks great. Far better than I could do. Heck, my next build (aside from the Testarossas) looks like a speaker stand made out of 2X4's for the center speaker. I could pay John to make me one, or I could make one, but I'm feeling cheap and lazy.

I too learned a wide variety of carpentry helping my dad around the house. Something about construction and wood working comes very natural to me.
The inlays are made easier because I have some oak 'tape', the kind of real wood product you use to conceal the ends of plywood cabinets. I just have to very delicately cut 1/4" strips out of it with a knife and straight edge.
Jointed oak and maple, is quite literally a piece of oak flanked by maple top and bottom to form the drawer front. I have a rather large Festool collection, so the Domino joiner makes short work of that.
I own several chop saws, including the big 12" sliding Dewalt. The question is, what is their intended purpose? Carpentry, unfortunately so by lack of available skilled labor, has come to be known for just about every aspect of home construction, for example. The Dewalt (780 I believe is the model number?) is truly a construction saw. It offers enormous capacity for just about any type of cut. But 12" blades have too much deflection to be accurate for fine wood working. When you need to split hairs, you need a 10".
As a drywaller, I have another Festool piece you would appreciate, the Planex sander. I bought it after having scraped half the popcorn ceilings in my house with a spray bottle and putty knife. Its a giant sander on a pole, in combination with a unique version of their dust collector, that has a mechanism to 'slap' the air filter to knock loose the plaster that sticks to it.
Poles, suction, and slapping all in once sentence... yeah I think I belong around here...

For furniture, have you ever tried hand rubbed finishes?
I use General Finishes Arm R Seal, and the results are excellent. But like any good finish, the process takes days and days and weather makes a huge difference.
