Four steps, 5 steps, 7 steps. Whatever it takes, the goal is to end up with a workpiece that will fit into your project perfectly. During tonight’s seminar, Dennis Perkins will outline his technique for squaring up a rough piece of lumber — from flattening one face, to jointing an edge, to ripping the board to width and crosscutting it to length, and even a few steps in between.
He’ll also spend some time talking about the different types of lumber, including rough, S2S, S3S, and S4S, and what it all means.
There are no bonus downloads for tonight’s seminar.
During this week’s seminar, Dave Fremming will touch base on his favorite reasons for using water-based finishes. Dave is a sales professional for the Woodsmith Store, a woodworker, and our resident go-to guy for all things finishing.
Dave will talk about why to use a water-based finish over solvent based. He’ll explain the different products that are available and how to tell the difference between them. And he’ll talk about the supplies needed and the techniques he uses to prepare and apply a water-based finish.
