Marc you got my name right on the first try! Thanks for your thoughts guys. Knocking the RO 150 helps.
Glad to hear someone else will import pork roll from the northeast – one of the worst parts about moving from that region, along with the loss of scrapple.
You guys crack me up. :o) Thank you for the kudos and the encouragement and for always being so supportive. I’m looking forward to seeing you all at WIA! Hugs from PA. ~Kari
Just a thought on paper on the bench when gluing….
I don’t do it to protect the bench, I do it to protect future work.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had a stray dried glue drop scratch or dent work. Now matter how hard I look, it always seemed like I’d miss one. That ONE stray drip always seems to be found by a very visible part.
Really good point!
Hey guys, I’m planning to attend at least the Saturday event for the Woodworking in America show this year. I’m only 56 miles from the Keystone Bar and Grill. I will see you there. Can’t wait to see the gang. Enjoy your show..
Also wanted to mention, I don’t worry much about protecting my bench area. I had thought one time thought about mounting a window shade on one end and drag over the bench top and retract when not needed. Normally I believe the window shade material is a slick finish that might help wipe off anything I might need to wipe off.
This is in reference to Tobias, I found a product out of Florida, it is a fluoropolymer at http://shieldproducts.com/. This product is pretty amazing. I have an Ipe floor on my back porch and I recently use it to finish it. It came out beautiful, only time will tell if it last like they claim. I rolled the dice and spent the money on it, not cheap! You might add it to around the web section. Check it out.
