When I was a pre-school director, we were forbidden from buying any furniture that didn't have rounded corners.<br /><br />Isn't it about time for an update on your blog?Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-45837385704617645182019-09-03T16:27:29.403+02:002019-09-03T16:27:29.403+02:00I really like how the bookcase turned out!

Looking forward to seeing your blog posts about the other stuff you made.

I've learned over time that there is always an answer, it just takes a calm mind to think through the problem. I'm also really pleased with those sharp lines. I feared the paint would chip when planed, but this stuff is really nice. FYI, it's Rust-Oleum chalk paint applied with a brush.<br /><br />Cheers!Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-35246278487389210702019-08-31T16:14:47.548+02:002019-08-31T16:14:47.548+02:00Very well done Brian!

I really like the sharp lines delineating the painted surface from the natural surface.

When I do that with the Dick saw, the handle is in the way, so I take it off. This cut takes very little pressure. I've never hurt myself this way - yet.<br /><br />I can't really speak about the Stanley vs. Record, as I don't know it. However, I came up with the idea because people with the Stanley used the Veritas blade successfully. The Veritas blade's shank is remarkably longer, but you can mitigate that by flipping the adjustment but upside down. If you use a wooden base, even better.<br /><br />I always use oil and/or wax over milk paint with good results. I've never tried Odie's oil, though. I'll have to get some one of these days.<br /><br />Cheers!Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-82057152141039796662019-08-31T09:59:57.828+02:002019-08-31T09:59:57.828+02:00Hey, Jeff!

I did make sure all of the screwheads were tightened down enough so the head was a little below the surface. That seems to work in pine.

If no one makes copper or aluminum screws, brass would probably work. Other than snapping off too easily.jefskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371137053872693861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-52125326871751945642019-08-30T20:41:33.154+02:002019-08-30T20:41:33.154+02:00Without a handle, how do you grip your Dick saw, B...Without a handle, how do you grip your Dick saw, Brian? <br /><br />A 3/4" back does add an extra bit of weight. I'd be happier with something much less than that, say 1/2" or even 3/8". That would cut the weight of the back by... oh... about half! lol.<br /><br />Do you happen to know how similar the Record 071 is to the Stanley 071? Do the Veritas blades fit the Stanley as well, is the question I need answered. I also need to add a small base to mine because no matter how many times I check the bottom for flat and smooth all edges with a bit of filing, I still get dinging on my wood surface.<br /><br />I wonder how Odie's Oil would look on milk paint. I'll have to give it a go.<br /><br />Great job on the bookcase, by the way. Looks fantastic!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />EthanEthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762615024207105680noreply@blogger.com
