Part of the problem is the home workshop itself. Dust, poor ventilation, dim lighting-it's not exactly a finishing booth in there. Steve Maxwell has wrestled with wood finishing challenges in his home workshops for more than twenty years, and he has agreed to share his best secrets of real-world wood finishing in this seminar. Steve will show you how to prepare wood for finishing, reveal his favourite wipe-on stains and sealers, demonstrate little-known techniques for creating glass-smooth results, and outline the specifics of coaxing water-based urethane to dry without looking bumpy. Curious about sprayers? Steve will also show how an HVLP system may be just the ticket for finishing in your home shop.

Yet, it's a notoriously intimidating machine to use successfully. Kickback and other potentially dangerous incidents are common, not to mention burned edges, blow-out, chipped veneers and inaccurate cuts. In this detailed seminar, Hendrik Varju covers the finer aspects of accurate cutting with a serious focus on safety. Learn why your splitter and blade guard are so important. You'll see proper ripping technique, from shorter pieces to longer boards, including proper hand and foot positioning. What does a pushstick do for you? What about featherboards, push pads, zero-clearance inserts and roller stands? How do you achieve accurate crosscuts, and just what should you believe about the left-tilt versus right-tilt issue? This seminar cuts through the marketing hype, telling you what you need to know to operate your tablesaw with safety and confidence.

That's why smart woodworkers make hearing protection part of their workshop routine. Fortunately, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety has a website to tell all you need to know about finding hearing protection that suits you.

Do you have any suggestions for what kind of sliders to use? I used standard kitchen sliders for the drawer above it, but I don't think they're sturdy enough for a file drawer. -Rysiuk A: I prefer a full extension drawer slide for a file drawer. They allow access right to the back of the drawer, and they have a higher weight rating. -CHW Pro Don Kondra ________________________________ project <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=829856&newsletterID=9436&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> For more questions and answers, or to send questions yourself, go to Ask A Pro <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=829857&newsletterID=9436&memberID=546353 &format=HTML> section of our website.
