Duck, is there anyway to motorize my mortise gauge?
BB, I have a general idea (slab sides), but with these experiment panels I start there and let that determine the dimensions. Also helps looking at the cutoffs littering my TS extension and knowing that it's either put that stuff somewhere or cut it up into smaller pieces for a box.
Dave, Usually I like the lower viscosity for making sure I get resin into all the crannies, but some woods like the cherry (last gallery photo) shows how it likes to drink it up.
The resin claims a "working time" of 45 minutes at 70F and about 100 minutes at the shop temp (63F), but I should have waited a few more hours until it was almost ready to gel. Certainly some better sealing of the end grain next time too.
