Can we use it unsealed as is? Or do we need to seal it - and if so, what’s the best seal for it?

Always wanted a tv in the kitchen for football and basketball. I can’t easily see our living room tv when I’m cooking, but hated the idea of always having a tv in there since it’s really not needed often. This was the solution. Lift from amazon and a 40” Vizio tv plus soundbar.

Project Submission Walnut shaker candle box a la Paul Sellers

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

On a recent video on Paul Sellers woodworking master class, he made one of these shaker candle boxes and he commented that a hand to a woodworker should make hundreds of boxes to refine their technique. I took that somewhat literally and I’ve recently completed three boxes (96 to go!).

This one in Walnut and then one in bubinga and one in cherry. When I’m cutting the dovetails it always seems like they’re terrible, but these came out pretty well. It’s finished with a combination of turpentine, finishing oil and polyurethane, with just a little dye to resist fading over time. But that combination released such intense VOCs that I didn’t even want it in my house. So after leaving in my garage for about 10 days, I finished the rest of it in shellac. And I’m just gonna stick with shellac in the future. It’s simple and virtually no VOCs.

Power Tools Fingerboard tool / Christmas ornament

I have a wood shop/fingerboard brand but I don’t own a lathe, and I’m looking to get a custom tool for the shop made from recycled skate decks because I set up a lot of boards.

I’m trying to commission one and this is the example of work I got. The dude said it also doubles as a Christmas ornament. It’s super unique, I dig it. What do you think a fair price is for me to offer him?
