I’ve just started using the Arm-R-Seal and I’m really impressed. As a new woodworker, getting a good finish seems harder than the building of the project. The self leveling properties of the Arm-r-seal really helps with my inexperience. I didn’t find it over smelly to use also. I like to wait a few weeks after the final coat of satin and then buff it out with 000 steal wool and paste wax. No plastic look. Looks more like buffed out shellac than anything to me. Very natural. The paste wax buffing really is what gave me the final look I was after.
2 March 2019 at 12:26 am #555449So I just finshed my tool/wall cabinet. Built from boxstore pine. The doors are poplar from a sawmill and maple ply from a boxstore. The drawer fronts and shelve fronts are walnut that my uncle gave me. Its a very ambitious and doable build. Just don’t rush it

30 January 2019 at 12:29 am #554802My most recent and catastrophic mistake was veering from the plan and attempting to remove part of my grooved cherry doors in order to set glass instead of a panel (Tool cabinet). Needless to say I chucked 2 weeks of careful door building work into the burn pile. Trust me, I learned from my mistake.
23 August 2018 at 11:26 pm #550515All this is remarkably cool. As far as the lateral lever, it still operates as it should. All that is happening is it’s wearing the top of the tote. Really no big deal to me as “something” is not original and causing the clearance issue. I sharpened the iron per the Paul sellers way and it’s freaking scary sharp and cuts a beauty of shaving. Thanks guys!

23 August 2018 at 1:24 pm #550490That’s awesome Harry. My first old Stanley! $30 off eBay seemed worth the risk.
23 August 2018 at 12:13 am #550478So I took more pics today. The front tote screw is missing but the holes line up. I have frog as far forward as I can get and still get shaving clearance. The plane does take a beautiful shaving and seems to perform just fine.

17 April 2018 at 2:09 am #527491Hey thanks for the info Nate. I actually was thinking of both these ideas. I may go with the pinned molding over the mitered. Then again I may just omit the molding all together to help simplify the build. It is my first door after all. Plus hand tools only will increase the difficulty. Thanks again.
8 April 2018 at 6:43 pm #520362So my plan is mortise and tenon the rails to the stiles first. Next will be to run the plow plane on all rails and styles equally to create the grove for the panels to slide in. No issues so far. It’s the step down or molding that that picture frames each panel section. I really just wanted to create a shallow rabbet on both stile and rail to produce the stepped down molding look. It has to be stopped squarely and precisely on the stile to meet with the rail. Maybe I’m missing something. This will be my largest project so far. I did do a sofa table that tuned out great so this seemed doable
