    Lets see your wood

    This is Ontario grown ash. Face grain looks similar but end grain is slightly different.

    Sanding + grinding replacement belt advice

    My belt sander takes a 1”x42” belt. I use the zirconium (blue) belts from 40 grit to 320 grit for grinding metal. I have various other belts for knife sharpening (up to about 1000 grit) and a leather belt for honing.

    Cherry and ash time capsule for my daughters wedding. Apparently some new wedding thing where everyone brings a memento for the box. It will be stored for 5 years in the basement before opening. Second photo is the epoxy I put into the big knothole in the lid.

    Request for a beeswax finish recipe

    For a food safe finish I mix 1 part beeswax to 4 parts mineral oil by weight melted together in the microwave. I get the mineral oil from the pharmacy ( sold as laxative) as its half the price of the wood stores. I should probably try adding some carnauba in the future.

    Elu routers

    My Elu 3339 looks like the larger one in the picture . Except for the colour it is identical to the Dewalt 625. In 30 years I have only had to replace the speed sensor magnet when it came off the top end of the shaft. The local DeWalt dealer got me the part.

    TOOLS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED

    This is the blower. It has variable speed so you can slow it down. I do use it once in a while to blow out the dust especially off the high shelves.

    Connection problems

    We have fibre to the end of the street, 3 houses away, then ~400m of copper to the house. We pay for and get 50 mbps download and 10 mbps upload speed. 100 mbps is available but our biggest demand is 4K Netflix at ~15 mbps so 50 is adequate.

    Moving workshop/transporting machines - any tips??

    When I bought a used table saw and 8” jointer at 200 kg each I was going to rent an engine hoist. Luckily I found a used one (2 ton capacity) on kijiji for the price of a weeks rent and it came with an engine balancer. With this and ratchet straps, I loaded the tools on to and off of my trailer...

    Laser printer recommendations

    Our Canon all in one laser is 13 years old and still going strong. Never did get the scanner to work over the network but it does work on the USB connection. Cartridges are ~100$ but last a year or more. We’ve had HP and a couple of Epson inkjets but they didn’t last as long as the laser.

    Remote Control/Dust Extractor

    Remote Control/Dust Extractor

    Wiring the remote into the DOL (magnetic) contractor may not be possible with a simple plug in remote. You need a remote with both NO and NC contacts. You need the NC contacts to remotely turn it off. That said the link to the remote webpage shows that it is hard wired with one NO...
