I built one prototype bar stool and two kitchen side chairs in times past, using poplar wood, and I had to do something with them. So, I decided to practice spraying colored lacquer (a new technique for me). Wow! They sure are blue. When I selected the colored lacquer, I thought it would be darker. Oh well. Blue is the new gray. The side chairs were sprayed and assembled in multiple steps so that there would be no blue lacquer over-spray on the clear lacquer details. Thanks for looking. Danl

I have heard you can just paint thee ends of logs to keep them from drying too fast and cracking. My question is will spray paint work?

I was watching a woodworking show on PBS and the guy was cutting Large dry pieces of a stump on his large bandsaw. He said to always use spray lube on the blade and to turn the wheel by hand until you see that all the blade is coated. Then wait 3 minutes before using. He did not ID the make of the lube. He also said it does a terrific job. I have heard of using Pam cooking spray, but this was designed for saw blades. Any ideas on the manufacturer?

Tgif: Three Things: Three Ways To Apply Finish, Tuesday 4/24/2018
kmealy posted a topic in Finishing
There are three basic ways to apply finish Cloth (wiping) Moderately fast, cheap, suitable for thinner products, little cleanup. Good for oils, oil-varnish blends, thinned varnish, & stains. Control amount by how aggressively you wipe, easy to remove excess material. Brush Slowest, most common, suitable for thicker, slower-drying finishes (like varnish), can be used with care for faster drying finishes (shellac, brushing lacquer, waterborne). Can "manipulate" finishes during open time. Some brush prep & clean up required. Suitable for special effects like glazing. Spray Fastest to apply, needs special equipment (expensive) and area, not suitable for slow drying finishes like varnish, great for fast-drying finishes (shellac, brushing lacquer, waterborne), best for toners, Gun cleanup when done.
