      If you think the Beatles were not a good band, you must not be a musician. Musicaly they are all excellent musicians on their own. Very difficult to do what they did. Seger and Zeppelin are also excellent musicians in their own right. The Beatles just did it first.

    Good thing to know about wenge:
    ”The dust produced when cutting or sanding wenge can cause dermatitis similar to the effects of poison ivy and is an irritant to the eyes. The dust also can cause respiratory problems and drowsiness. Splinters are septic, similar to those of greenheart (the wood of Chlorocardium rodiei).”

I think it was back when they were FSS and I’ve always googled the difference between the Berner, swiss, Entlebucher, and Appenzeller Sennenhunde on the down low before walking up to one now.

    The 3M “Finesse it” polishing materials are great on water based poly. I did a very large kitchen island out of Sapele and the top is smooth as glass without looking like plastic. Also, you can get the finish to flow out better if you put some of the flowing agent they sell for latex paint.

    I used wenge for quite a while, and ran into all of those problems that you did here. I stopped using it, quite a while ago, but still wanted a wood that was dark and exceptional looking. I ended up using Ziricote. I just love it, but it loads up sanding belts. I also wanted to say that over the years I built up an allergy to many of the woods dust. So because I didn’t want to quit,(I’m 70 now) I spent the money for a PAPR. I can’t tell you how much of a game changer it was for me.

      A LOT of highly decorative woods contain natural insecticides that are thrown into the air when sawing and sanding. A few of them can do permanent damage or even be fatal if not handled properly.

      You wouldn't want to turn that. It's very soft and requires a tonne of sanding at the end. The sanding usually leads to uneven sections because of varied wood hardness in the piece.

    I have used the water based poly on some wood turnings, applying it like you wood a wipe on poly but working much faster it will dry fast. Apply in a small area and wipe it back off with a cotton rag you can apply additional coats after 30 min or so to get it to build up somewhat.

    If Riggs is a big boy my guess would be greater swiss mountain dog. If he's not so big then maybe appenzeller, or entlebucher mountain dog. And from one woodworker to another, wit is an asset, while humor is a necessity. You inject both quite nicely into your videos. Oh by the way nice work! P.s. I used to work with an old swiss woodworker who looked a lot like riggs. Nate G

    Since you spend so much time sanding your pieces, in your next vid, can you maybe go over what you're expecting the wood to look like between grits, and why you expect a certain grit finish to be enough (e.g. why stop sanding on this table surface at 500 grit). Would be great to hear!

    Your work is beautiful! I refinish hardwood floors professionally..this table is big enough to use rollers for a finish, not brushes.

It takes a little time to not apply it too heavy, yet at same time not too thin..I'm learning so much from your videos, you can tell when someone is the real deal, and not not just going thru the motions!

    Thanks for the comment about the Beatles and I agree with you totally. I'm from that era and never could understand why they were so popular. They were often not in tune when singing and even the orchestrations were that great. Paul, John and George did write some interesting tunes, however, which hold up pretty well. I'm am no woodworker but always interested in seeing it done. I'll have to say that I would approach that soft wood with lots of trepidation. It seems so easy to damage especially for beginners.

    I recently found that thinning the polish by 50% meant that you got a smooth finish as though sprayed. I am not sure if it'll work with a water based polish but it did work for turps based. The only downside is that you have to apply a lot of coats. It dried fast though.

    • @larss592
      @larss592 Před rokem +1

      As a 30 year vet in tge business i can confirm that it works the same for any base. There are however products that can be added to not only water based but solvent bases as well tgat do not compromise the integrity of the product. Spraying is definitely the way to go and using a gravity feed hvlp gun for only about $60 can improve aplication and speed as well as consitency of mil thicknness. This also cuts down on the time consuming sanding. Types of guns and tips vary greatly but take little time to adapt to. As in all finish scenarios a test piece is recommended.

    Knew that was Wenge. It has incredibly cool grain but what makes it really impressive is it's density.
    Stuff is ULTRA dense and hard, which is why it chipped like that on you. My dad has installed hardwood floors made of Wenge and he said he went through SO many blades making his cuts and they're all nice carbides. He's been doing it for almost 50 years and it's still one of the hardest installs he's ever done.
