I had thought using Rockler's Green Wood End Sealer would be a good choice??

SWMBO came into the garage the other day and announced the neighbors were cutting down the olive tree in the front yard. Walked over and ended up taking a full pickup bed load of branches, trunk and burl. This tree was over 30 years old and at the cut ends has some very interesting looking grain. Mo...

I attended the Costa Mesa, CA show with the DW back in October. It was her first time and my first in about three years. We were both sorely disappointed. IIRC, the show three years ago was more than twice the size. And I don't recall paying for parking last time; this go-around they wanted $10. Thi...

I think tying up the lathe with a three in one wheel would be more of an inconvenience. JMHO Agree 100%. Unfortunately I don't have the space for any other tools at this time. Someday, maybe I'll have a dedicated shop and not share space with the car, laundry, bikes, etc. I like the idea of a small...

Last week I ran across this post regarding the Beall Buffing System. The OP was looking for information on mounting the #2MT end on his SS. Thsi post is not almost 3 years old, but I had not seen any new information on the Beall system. There were some very creative solutions offered, some of which ...

I just did it and also re-posted to a camping related forum I frequent. What a great idea. Thanks for posting the link.
