263871 | Pier-Rick Lamontagne <foutchibay@g...> | 2017‑11‑12 | My first real project. My saw till. |
Hi Galootians (?!) I read you every day, even multiples times a day. You guys and gals are a infinite bank of knowledge and I can't stop learning from you (even if sometime I need to google something basic as "milk paint" to understand what you're talking about. So I want to bring you with me on my first "real" project. My little sawtill. This project have been made entirely with the hand tolls I have on hand. No drill or electric saw were harmed in the making of this product. Take a look if you want to, don't hesitate to correct my mistakes since I'm here to learn. https://imgur.com/gallery/Y7OjG I'd like to ask you, how would you finish it ? I'm looking for Shellac here In northern quebec but can't seems to find any. I don't want to paint it because of I like how the wood shows. What product, easily available, would you recommand ? (Butcher block oil tend to disappear so it's probably not the best product for this intent.) p.s. What mean GGG ? Thank you. Rick. |

You can buy perfectly serviceable shellac in a can at the hardware store. Zinsser is the brand we see here in the mid-Atlantic. Brush on a coat, then hit it with 220 grit paper, then a couple more coats. To get a GREAT finish takes some practice, but to get a good one is not too difficult. Ed Minch |

What you did wrong? You made it way too small! It needs room for another dozen saws! Best, Spike Sent from the seat of my pants |

That's great! Congratulations! Question: Are you concerned about the angle of the saws in the till? It looks like they are fairly vertical, which might allow them to fall off the wall. If that turns into a problem, perhaps you can add a swing-away bar to hold them in place. Is the space at the bottom for a drawer (for sharpening tools and the like)? Do you have in mind for the shelf-like space in front of the saws to serve any particular purpose? It might become a great home for piles of dust; you might want to add a slanted board (obviously, only going up about halfway on the cross-piece that holds the saws so that there is room for the saws to rest) to diminish the dust. For finish, Watco Danish oil might be a good choice. It is your basic oil varnish--an oil with rosin ester for hardness. It is incredibly easy to use and close enough to a traditional finish (i.e., it is not polyurethane) that you might like it. If you want a natural resin varnish, you might want to use Tried & True's varnish oil. Congratulations again!

Funny. I always assumed it met Ghastly Gaseous Galoots. -----Original Message----- From: OldTools [mailto:oldtools-bounces@s...] On Behalf Of Ed Minch Sent: Monday, November 13, 2017 1:57 PM To: Kirk Eppler |

Well, I always mean it as Gentle Galoots. Of course, there is always the tremendous possibility of Gaseous. There are a few beer drinkers and eaters of beans in the group, I am sure..... Bruce Z. Des Moines, IA Chuckling, but knowing SWMBO probably would agree.. |
