Ding ding ding! We have a winner! (I'll keep my banana to myself, thanks! [emoji16]) Here's a photo that explains it for those interested... Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Very close... What kind of saw blade? Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Not a bandsaw, but a different type of saw. Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Ok, no banana for scale, but I did have this... To summarize the hints... 1. Used in woodworking, rarely, but when needed, there is no other way to accomplish the task. 2. Hit the top of the piece with the spring repeatedly, flip the workpiece, and do it again all the way around. 3. Used with power tools only. Bonus hint: the two pieces are used together, but do not touch each other. If they did, there is no way to do the task. The workpiece attaches to the smaller part.

Sure... I will do that tomorrow when I get back to the shop. Lol... [emoji529]... You crack me up! Follow me on Instagram! @amanteafinewoodworks

Hint #3... It is used in conjunction with power tools only... Follow me on Instagram! @amanteafinewoodworks

Nope... Follow me on Instagram! @amanteafinewoodworks

Here's hint #2... You tap the top of the piece with the spring with a hammer, and do this many many times, all the way around! Then you flip the workpiece, and do it again! Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Ouch! That would hurt! Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nope. Not even close Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nicely done, sir! Flip top tables are a great space saver in the shop. Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Yes, they are used together, but do not come in contact with other. In fact, if they did, it would be impossible to properly use the tool. Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Hint #1 it is used in woodworking, and is seldom used, but very necessary Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nope, lighter than that by far Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nice... Not Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

If you want it to weather to that natural grey look, no finish is needed at all. If you do decide to put a finish on it, as long as you use some rated for outdoor use, and uv stable, you should have decent luck. Normally,outdoor projects with a finish on them will require some type of maintenance every 3 to 5 years. Make sure to use a water proof glue (titebond 2 or 3 work great), and don't finish on the areas that will get glued. It can prevent the glue from bonding. Use stainless fasteners, galvanized will react with the cedar tannins and acids. Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nah... Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nope. Total wrong trade... Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Nope. Not even close Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Ok, here ya go... Name that tool... Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

Sorry guys! Didn't make it to the shop today, but will be there tomorrow morning. I got jammed up at the house with honeydo's... Follow me on Instagram! @amanteafinewoodworks

Awesome table... And that adjustable base is a top notch idea if you don't need the storage! So cool! Follow me on Instagram! @amanteafinewoodworks

I use West systems epoxy... It's great stuff, and fills gaps easily. Just put blue painter's tape on the bottom side of the inclusion, mix up the epoxy and pour it in to level. West systems does not shrink, so a level pour is almost perfect. Plus, it dries perfectly clear. Any bubbles can be removed with a quick pass of a propane touch before drying. Don't use a hair dryer, it will push the epoxy around. Sand smooth after a 24 hour cure time, (don't worry about the hazy finish) and top coat with your project finish. Once you top coat, it will bring back the transparency to the epoxy. You can buy West systems in small bottle (8oz or 4oz) quantities. I have projects over 20 years old outdoors for their whole life that have not failed or yellowed... Follow me on Instagram! @amanteafinewoodworks
