Thank you very much.

Thank you for your answers. I'll check if they are legal. But still I would like to ask Hudson Carpentry: Why beech and why steamed (you mean steaming prcoces like in steam bending)? One piece = no joints and no glue and that's good. But it can cup more easily than a glued one.

Hello, I have some questions about cutting boards. I need tomake some of them for the restaurant - they would be used extensively and then cleaned using a dishwasher - with chemicals and very high temperature (those industrial dishwashers are far more hardcore than regular ones). What do you...

Do you have any experience with that bandsaw? Is it bad or decent? Can it be compared with JET 18'' saw? http://www.ukwoodworkingmachinery.co.uk ... aws/hbs470

Oh, I can see that your little war is still running!

In Paris and it's french made. Now it is in Warsaw. I think the weather characteristics of the place it was made and the place it is now are similar.

Cambournepete: I think they bought it 2000 km from the place they live now so that may not be possible. But somebody certainly did a bad job here and will go to the woodworker's hell for this. :twisted:

Woodbloke: you are right. Your analysis may also be true because the table waited for them to collect it in a humid basement. So it started to shrink when they put it in their central heated flat during the winter season. The table is just nice, not an astonishing piece of furniture. The...

Jimi: thank's for answering. I think I'll help them. But it won't be just "few hours of work" because the table is stained. Probably it would be impossible to match the colour so I will have to refinish the whole piece. Moreover it's an expanding table so it will require quite a lot of work...

Yesterday I met a nice couple that have moved to my neighbourhood about six moths ago. When they heared that I'm a woodworker they invited me to their flat to show me their table that had a problem. What I saw was a woodworking horror. They have a nice and simple oak table. The top of the table...

Thank you for helpful answers.

Hi everyone. I need to buy one of the tools listed in the subject but I don't really see the difference between them. I know that I can use a mortising attachment to a drill press but the internet says that it's not a good solution. So if I want a mortising tool I should buy a proper mortiser...

Dodge: True. I finished that board with danish oil only to see if it smells as oak does.

No, it's not the reactions with the tannins. I tried it on ash and it still smells. I also don't think that it was the frosting problem, because the storage temperature was stable. I hope that it will evaporate eventually.

Hello everybody, I encountered an embarassing problem and I really don't know how to fix. I had a nice and simple comission a few months ago - oak bookcase finished with oil. I didn't expect any difficulties. A day after putting the first layer of the oil I sensed an unpleasant smell. I used...
