February 7, 20251 yr I've not heard of that stuff. Too bad, none within 50 miles of me. You weren't kidding about it being expensive.
February 8, 20251 yr Author I don’t know if pressure washing will bring the color back:or not? Guess we will find out in the spring..
February 9, 20251 yr Pressure washing is hard on the wood. Doubt that it would bring back the color. Might spray some hydrogen peroxide on the moldy bits. Bleach works too. I read where bleach has a shelf life and found that it's true.
February 9, 20251 yr Author Depends on distance and tip. Im not actually concerned about tye color as getting the mildew off them.. Edited February 9, 20251 yr by BillyJack
February 9, 20251 yr Peroxide goes deeper than the bleach and keeps the mold away longer. Take straight bleach in your garden sprayer and spray the concrete and then just walk away no scrubbing pr pressure wash required. In a few weeks you will be amazed.
February 13, 20251 yr Thanks for the picture! I used to have one of those PC Dovetail devices. Started doing all the dovetails by hand. Took me almost the same amount of time as it did to setup the PC jig.
February 17, 20251 yr Author I won’t part with the PC Omnijig. I had both the Leigh and the Omnijig, but as I’m more a production woodworker the Omnijig won and I sold the Leigh. I wish I had just kept both… I'm not sure how fast you work, but I have a dedicated router that has been setup since I bout it in 2000. Im pretty quick. Edited February 17, 20251 yr by BillyJack
February 17, 20251 yr I got an Omnijig from estate sale and it is built like a tank. I found a video on YouTube that tells all you need. The one thing I wish I had is the dovetail template for this one. Tried to find it and finally gave up on it,
February 17, 20251 yr Author I’ve searched for many of the jigs. At one point I almost decided to buy a used jig on eBay with the jigs, but didn’t like the shipping.. I might lucjk out and find one local.. Because mine was just getting banged up or moved all the time , I mounted it on the back of my router table… Edited February 17, 20251 yr by BillyJack
February 17, 20251 yr 25 minutes ago, BillyJack said: I have a dedicated router I only have 2 routers. One plunge and one permanently mounted in my router table. I'm not a very fast worker and don't do production work. Our bathroom vanity drawers. All hand cut.
February 17, 20251 yr Author Popular Post Many can’t do production work. You know how many jobs in Kansas City came up for furniture makers? Zero… in 2010 a job showed up on Craigslist, Seeking qualified furniture maker for Kansas City. I applied along with many in KC. I actually missed the first interview cause I couldn’t find the location. Second day I found it and after an hour of interview and showing picture the plant manager said I had the job. Production work and quality work are the same. Production workers just do it faster and payed too.. There are interior decorators.. Here is how I sold myself.. Edited February 17, 20251 yr by BillyJack
February 17, 20251 yr Author Most people can’t sell themself. They either are too slow and demand too much money or are qualified and won’t give up their great paying job to find out.. Yes I’ve worked in production as a cabinet maker, commercial cabinet maker and at the end a furniture. I’m here for the hobby woodworker. I owned and operated my own shop for 2 years… let’s don’t pull that production card… Edited February 17, 20251 yr by BillyJack
February 17, 20251 yr 13 minutes ago, BillyJack said: let’s don’t pull that production card… No insult intended. I have been and will always be a hobbyist woodworker. My working background is in education/electronics/computers. Woodworking is to be fun and relaxing. No need for me to rush.
February 17, 20251 yr Author There have been problems on other forums. Some with very educational backgrounds that feel they are smarter than you no matter what. They take up woodworking and have decided to be the smartest woodworker on there because they were successful in their previous job. Don't talk about it, show me. I’m in Missouri…The show me state..
