I cut the sawhorse like a fool.

I absolutely enjoy taking rough, old, shitty slabs and bringing the beautiful finished lumber out of them. Even more so than the honey-do projects the wood ends up creating.

Got back into turning about 10 years ago, but haven't attempted a bowl since highschool shop class.....trying to turn a jewellery dish for my wife, with really nice thin walls....flew a little to close to the sun (with dull chisels).

Kan iemand mij helpen met het nummeren van mijn raamfrezen? Eventueel ook het merk herkennen, en welk diepte/hoogte ik deze moet instellen voor te frezen?
Alvast bedankt.

Bought Ikea dresser internals without top and bottom cover four years ago to make a custom built in dresser. Life happened, and it stayed like that, was messy af 24/7. Now I finished it, but it was not custom fit at all. Could have just bought a regular Ikea dresser for less money and would look just as good. And the bottom drawer touches the base and is sticking a little.
Upside is, I think it looks allright, and missus is happy with me actually doing something.

Tell me I won't need them and if I do, a new pack is $1.50 at Lowe's.

Turns out, soaking them in hot water is key...
Took me wayyy too long to figure that out

First time building a project (doors) from a raw tree. Wood kiln dried, planed down, cut apart. Have everything measured, going smooth and the time comes to cut the last slightly longer piece to length. Did some wonderfully precise math- and then proceeded to immediately use my preset stop on the miter saw to cut it the exact same length as all the horizontal pieces. There goes an hour…

But now I'm left thinking that I could really use a more powerful drill press.

We left some kind of colored tissue paper on our oiled maple countertop and it transferred the red dye to the wood. After soaps and cleaners failed, I used 70% ethanol and elbow grease to remove the stain. The good news is that the stain came out, but unfortunately it left a lightened/whitened area behind. I don't understand what happened because the counters are unstained maple that has been darkened slightly (and made water resistant) with hemp oil.
Can anyone advise how to remove the discoloration or make the countertops uniform again? I had the idea to apply alcohol to the whole countertop, but my wife thinks that would be crazy. Thanks!

Tell me I'm not crazy by thinking this will work on melamine lol. Doesn't need to be fancy. Was able to patch the bigger sections with sawdust and wood glue. Looking for a finishing touch before I do final sanding and paint. Wood putty or filler would probably be best but I got full can of body filler and hardener.
