Yum, Chocolate. That will be tasty. I love walnut.

Good idea, bloom sucks. Higher temp and higher RH combine like algorithmically or something. Nitro out gasses for a long time or at least wants to. I always wait if in any doubt. Did I mention that bloom sucks?

The Fisch bits are the Ferrari of bits. If you are not doing this a lot, Dewalt brad points are good for a few holes when they are new.  You can buy singles at the big boxes and they have them up the scale by 32nds from 1/16th most places around here. McMaster - Carr is a bit overwhelming in...

I'm a Project Manager for commercial construction. Everything is long lead it seems and prices through the roof. Got lead time of 25 weeks on some commercial refrigerators today. Very concerning on a 10 week project. LOL  I was told they are sending container ships back to China empty now so...

You asked about Drill bits: Fisch Tools another good source for all kinds of bits is McMaster-Carr

Fisch (not Phish, the band) bits come highly recommended by a lot of people and their brad points look to have similar properties to a Forstner. I have a set on my wish list as soon as the second mortgage on my home comes through (they ain't cheap). Made in Austria. I digressed as usual.  Cool...

Bitchin' !  And I soooo love tan lines.

Welcome aboard.  If you have any questions, there is usually someone here who has "been there,done that" and will be happy to help you.

Very nice. I like the black rings best but my mind wanders to black nickle hardware with that color. It is very "formal", classy,

Very, very nice.  I vote silver knobs especially after your comment that they are not a true color match but it is all about what you like best.

My guess is that it is a warranty issue for them. I frequently finish the face of the head stock only on roasted necks. Usually to bury a decal and then feather the edge of the lacquer film to the raw wood. Never had an issue but I can see how it might present a chip point and they use a...

I am always interested in how other people do things, would definitely watch. I do not have the patience to actually film and edit such a video. I suspect it would increase your build time by a tremendous amount. Can't see handling a cam and a router at the same time or changing cam positions...

Hand rubbed finishes should be rubbed with the hand. Oil is good for you (probably not but a little won't kill you). Nitrile gloves are acceptable and they do give you a sort of squeegee effect.  I like to trade bodily fluids with my projects though. Remember: A little TO goes a long ways, we...

I'm not usually big on neck binding but that is very classy.

Silicone possibly, evil bane of wood finishers. Glad you found something to cover it.
