Good article on attaching table tops. What I call "Wood Movement 101", or "You can't stop wood movement but you have to allow for it." Something not all Asian furniture companies know or care about. I like the opening line: Show me a woodworker who has glued or screwed a solid wood tabletop to its base, and I’ll show you a person who has learned a painful lesson in wood movement. https://www.woodcraft.com/blog_entries/joinery-class-attaching-tabletops?utm_source=SocialOrganic&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Dec22&utm_content=Article&fbclid=IwAR3Srybq2QCXcx9hZOKMbVVrvcWCt6GSKVEQ1FUzdeYh5-rSnTRliZk9GS4 69-JClass-AttachingTops_FINAL.pdf

Okay so I’m not going to be able to do any turning today. It will have to wait until tomorrow when I can get some items from Home Depot. With that being said I put a block of oak up on the lathe with a cut off blank for the face plate to attach to I spun it up and the thing started walk-in across the bench... Thing meaning lathe. How ever the lathe does not offer any specific way to really bolt it into place so I’m looking for some suggestions on how I could do this so I can turn larger objects more safely. Here are some shots of it. Thanks ahead of time.

Hi all tomorrow I will use for the first time a grain filler for a table top that should be smooth as glass. They suggest a barrier coat of shellac. That would change the color a bit but can I use a very light coat or water based poly as a barrier coat? Then they reommend a plastic card (credit card) to spread the filler cross grain. I would think stay 45 degrees to the grain so that you do not pull the filler out. Currently the table top has been dye (water) and stained (oil). Any advise would be appreciated. Yes i have scrap and am ready to use it first.

My new out feed table for my table saw has an MDF top. I am wondering what I should put on the top to seal it? Would shellac or the zinsser bull's eye work? The sides/front/back will be painted, but I do not want paint to rub off on the wood going through the saw. Thanks for the help!

Saturday's Woodworking Quiz January 14, 2017

Good Morning Friends, A fellow asked the following; I have a granite remnant left over from a kitchen remodel job, and I want to use it for a top for a coffee table. My challenge is; how do I attach the top to the table frame? I'm guessing that drilling into the granite is not an option. What are your comments on this topic? -
Hello All, I am planning a build of a narrow table for our foyer. I have some 5/4 waterfall bubinga that I planned to use for the top and a small amount of gaboon ebony for accents. However for the apron and legs I'm stuck. I thought about using walnut, but figured the ebony would get lost. I then looked at a curly maple but the contrast seemed extreme. What wood would be a good compliment to a bubinga top, that would showcase the bubinga and ebony but also compliment the peice as a whole? Kevin
