STL197: Clean Miters That Are Actually Strong

Question 1: From Elijah: I'm planning on building a floating media cabinet out of 5/4 cherry. The basic idea of the cabinet is an open box that looks like you can look through to the wall. However, it will actually have a false back made of 1/4" MDF painted the same color as the wall to hide all of the wires. For this project I like the clean look of miter joints, but I am worried that it will not be strong enough. The cabinet will be about 48 inches wide, 10 inches tall, and 14 inches deep. Do I need to reinforce the miters somehow or will glueing in the false back strengthening it sufficiently? Strong and Handsome: Half-Blind Mitered Dovetails How to Cut Half-Blind Mitered Dovetails 3-D Shelves Enliven Any Room Add Muscle To Your Miters Question 2: From Reg: I'm trying to make bird's eye maple legs that have face grain on all four sides. Unlike (for eg.) white oak laminated legs, the side grain on bird's eye is obtrusively different and a lamination would be obvious if done in the white oak manner of laminating only on two sides. So I think I need four-sided laminations, which seems to mean mitered laminations. What is the best way to go about this? I am assuming some core 4-square stock is the starting point. These are going to be Krenov-type legs, so thinly laminating finished leg seems out of the question.

It seems as though this kind of discussion is all but exhausted when it comes to hand tools but I don't hear as much about the bigger purchases in the shop. For instance, not much has changed for drill presses, so an old and stout model seems like a chance to save some money. Meanwhile, it's clear that table saws have improved dramatically with regards to safety and dust collection, so if a SawStop is attainable, I should budget accordingly. But what are your thoughts about bandsaws, jointers, planers, lathes, and the like? Are some types of shop equipment less vulnerable to the risks of buying used? Used tools are this woodworker's best friend Question 4: From Frank: I am making several MDF plinths for an upcoming exhibit. They are 16" square. I mitered the edges so the only visible end gain is at the top. I'm looking for painting suggestions. Some videos say to use Zinsser BIN, and others say to just use regular drywall type primer, then lightly sand before applying primary color. Do you have any suggestions that would steer me in the proper direction?

STL196: Is It Time to Upgrade Your Planer

Question 1: From Chase: I have an old 13" hitachi planer I got from craigslist many years ago. It has served me well but is starting to have issues. 13 inches has been useful, but at times I wish it was wider. In your experience is it worth the extra money to buy something bigger, or should I stick with a more reasonable choice like DW735? I have 220v access and floor space, so that isn't an issue. I am in my 30s, have been woodworking for ~10 years. I would like to keep woodworking into my 80s, so I can justify a longer term investment. I can afford a 1.5 or 2k tool, but could buy something else if I stuck with a cheaper planer. Segemented Cutterheads Change the Game Question 2: From Martin: I know Mike likes to have a small offset between the rails and stiles of his frame-and-panel doors. But how does he then avoid chipping the unsupported inside corners of the stiles when planing the top and bottom of the door to fit the opening?

Obviously things like the blade angle and fence are not very precise but I want to know what sources of error are there to look out for? What are the types of error you're concerned about with a cheap table saw? Portable Saws Question 4: From Capt. Zachary J. Daniels: I want to buy a block plane from Lie-Nielsen. I know Mike is a fan of the adjustable mouth block plane. However, I also remember Mike and Matt Kenney having a spirited debate where Matt was extolling the virtues of the rabbeting block plane. I can't seem to find the original discussion between Matt and Mike. Instead of listening to the entire catalog again, (and without Matt around to defend himself) I'm interested to hear Mike's opinion on why he prefers the adjustable mouth block plane over the rabbeting block plane. Right now, I only want to buy one block plane as I also have my eye on the No. 62 low angle jack. Thanks for the show and keep up the great work!

STL194: New-Fangled Finishes

Danish Modern Desk with Tim Rousseau Question 1: From Devin: Over the years of listening to your show, reading Fine Woodworking, and watching instructional videos, I've heard a million different suggestions for how long to let a glue-up sit before you take the clamps off. Ranging from "a little while" -whatever that is?- to overnight, and everything in between. Do you guys have any good rules of thumb for drying time? Strategies for Squeeze-out How to Tame Tricky Glue-Ups How to Apply Wiping Varnish Question 2: From the Fine Woodworking forum by forum member NewAndGreen: I'd like to apply a water based topcoat to two white oak chairs I've sanded. I was interested in using General Finishes water-based topcoat, but don't know if I should go with the flat or the satin finish. I have read that GF's satin is shinier than most. Is that true? (I put a coat of Minwax Satin Polycrylic on one and liked the look, but I'm looking for a better product .) I know I don't want to start mixing. (I've already over-complicated the process!) I also know I don't want a glossy look and not a totally matte look. Ugh. Pictures of two parts of chair attached for reference. Thanks in advance for your advice/thoughts to this new and green refinisher! Question 3: Also from Paul: I have not heard Rubio Monocoat or Osmo mentioned on the podcast. Have any of you tried Monocoat? Being in the industry professionally myself, and, seeing what other pros are using, Monocoat and Osmo seem to be the two go-to products that many professionals use as their primary oil finish (they're like the BMW and Mercedes of woodworking it seems). Any experience and/or recommendations there?

Not even a little. My 3rd grade drawings look every bit as good as my current attempts. On STL180, you talked about design for about 30 minutes without mentioning cad as a design medium. I know it's a scary topic but as a resolution at least one of you should try to design a furniture piece down to the jointery on your computer. The learning curve can be steep but I find that designing on the computer allows me to virtually build the piece without creating any sawdust. And from Paul: I don't know that I've ever heard Fusion 360 mentioned on the podcast. I used Sketchup for several years and loved it… however, a few years ago a landed a very complicated project (with cnc work involved), and came to the realization I needed something more sophisticated. Fusion 360 is now such a huge part of my business and can't imagine ever going back to Sketchup. Having parametric capabilities now seems absolutely necessary. Have any of you ever tried it?

STL193: Pocket Screws vs. Dominos

Start Woodworking Season 1 by Matt Berger, Asa Christiana https://www.finewoodworking.com/videoworkshop/2019/07/start-woodworking-season-1 Question 1: From Dan: I recently built a pair of desks featured in issue #270. I built them mostly the way Michael Robbins did, however instead of using a domino to construct the top I used pocket screws. I don't own a domino, I opted for a hollow chisel mortiser, and I thought it would be silly to use a hollow chisel mortise. How do you feel about pocket screws versus slip tenons made with a domino? Both tools make joining pieces of wood much simpler. One uses screws, the other uses wood and glue. One is under $100, and the other is over $1000. They are both faster and easier than traditional joinery. Am I wrong to think if I am not going to use traditional joinery pocket screws and domino slip tenons are interchangeable? I love my hollow-chisel mortiser, and if I'm gonna cheat on it, I'll just use screws. Biscuit Joinery Tips and Tricks Learn how to harness the full potential of your biscuit joiner in Part I of our two-part series By Asa Christiana Simple Cabinetry with Pocket Hole Joinery Low-cost jig produces basic cabinetry joinery that's easy and strong By Asa Christiana Question 2: From Chase: I was trying to edge-joint two 10-ft. long boards to make a wide shelf for our closet using a #7 handplane. Typically, I clamp the boards together and plane the common glue edge until I get an even shaving across both. I think that the length of the two boards meant there was some variation that the #7 didn't get. I can't imagine trying to joint these on a jointer, even if I had one.

I've heard similar questions on the show before. I'm curious as to why you never mention the idea of investing in a makerspace, shared shop, or tool library? There are a lot of great examples of makerspaces that give access to fully stocked wood and metal shops for a reasonable membership fee as well as not-for-profit tool libraries that are usually state funded just like normal libraries that allow for the borrowing of tools like books! For someone who's just getting started in woodworking getting access to a full woodshop for a membership fee that wouldn't be enough to buy a single quality power tool might be worth considering!

STL192: Learning To Cut Dovetails

Dovetailing episodes from Chris Gochnour's Enfiled Cupboard Video Workshop: Ep 4a: Case Dovetails – Tails Ep 4b: Case Dovetails – Pins Ep 4c: Handcut Rabbets and Dovetail Fitting Video: Chris Becksvoort–The Dovetail Master Question 1:From Jerrud: I'm making a dresser that is 72" long, 18" deep and 24" high not including legs. For a dresser this size–or any deep piece that is dovetailed–is seasonal wood movement a concern? Plain sawn lumber is cheaper than rift or quartersawn. Question 2: From Christian: I'm lucky enough to be expecting my first child, a baby boy, and I've always liked the idea of giving him a Lie Nielsen No 1 as a christening present. Recently, someone has suggested it a novelty tool and will be useless to him when he grows up. What alternative premium tools would you suggest as a christening gift? Question 3: From Mike: I'm building up my skills slowly by adding one new skill to each project I take on where I can. I want to try my hand at dovetails one of these days as that new skill. I have two questions: There are a ton of ways I see people doing them. Is there a method you recommend people start with? You recommend people learn to sharpen by picking one method, and sticking with it until you're good at it. Would the same apply to dovetail methods, or should you try a bunch of ways and then go with what you find out you like doing? Should I start with practice joints on scrap wood or incorporate them when I'm actually making a project so there's more at stake and I have to take it more seriously?

When sanding, the strip cracked along its length and I discovered that I had done a poor job of the clamping. The cracked section, which is about 4-5 inches long on one side of the checkerboard strip appears to have "lifted" during clamping and there is now an air space under the crack. Any suggestions that might help to save this? I thought perhaps trying to inject some glue under the crack to fill in the space using a needle??? Question 5: From David: I've recently had the opportunity to revamp my shop and am planning to build a Matt Kenney's monster workbench. I've bought the plans, and watched the videos, but I don't see how the top is fastened to the stand? Is there something I'm missing? Is it supposed to just sit on top? Question 6: From Dave: I love books but dislike most book covers - they're generally too visually noisy! I feel like my living space is full of loud colorful ad copy, or like I'm in a chain bookstore. Do you have any recommendations for ways to keep books in the home that would allow you to conceal the visual clutter? Really, I'm just asking for permission to make a bookcase hidden-door that spins around. 4 Ways to Make Panels Pop Doors are dominant on most cabinet designs, so dressing up door panels is an easy way to make furniture stand out.
