I really like the look of an enamel finish when it’s well done. Today is a day when I feel like more of a hack than usual, because I’m using enamel paint. I think I’ll declare victory if there aren’t any major screw-ups. #finishing

The little vase I’ve been working on for the past two weeks is getting closer to done. I’ve got five coats of clear enamel on the base now. One or two more yet today so I can glue the base to the vase tomorrow and then a few more coats and done. #WoodWorking #finishing #WoodTurning

A small vase rests on a tripod of pencil-like pieces of wood which are braced by a ring of wood below the round base of the vase. The vase has yellow and red decorations.

The only thing worse than smooth motion on TV's everywhere, is that COMBINED with improper framerate conversion. Just use Davinci Resolve to do those framerate conversions kids.

Have reached the part of the project where I’m thinking I should strip the existing finish, go back and grain-fill the wood, and finish it again. But I’m also thinking a couple more coats of shellac, wax, and oil will get a decent surface. #woodworking #finishing #woodturning

A concept for life in genreal, not just coding. – Douglas

The Art of Finishing via Bytedrum [Shared]

“It’s a quiet Saturday afternoon. I’ve carved out a few precious hours for coding, armed with a steaming cup of coffee and the familiar urge to dive into a project. As I settle into my chair and open my terminal, I’m confronted with a challenge that’s become all too familiar: deciding which of my many unfinished projects to tackle.

I navigate to my project directory, greeted by a graveyard of half-implemented ideas and stalled works-in-progress. Each one represents a different problem I’ve tried to solve, a different technology I’ve attempted to master. They’re all interesting, each with its own purpose and potential. But as I scan through them, I can already feel my enthusiasm waning.

First coats of Total Boat Halcyon on the #coffeetable. I’m planning 2 coats of amber gloss followed by a coat or 2 of clear satin. Water based, easy to apply, and looks great so far.

Color-work and : this will be a week for projects, so we can also plan new ones. Join the laughs & crafts crew on twitch.tv/yarnia 🧶

Been applying a wipe-on finish to a chair project.

The nitrile gloves I've been wearing have literally been filling up with sweat in the warm (80+ F) temps. Literally had sweat drip out of the gloves and on to the chair

I have some cotton BBQ gloves (aka glove liners) I got for other uses. So I tried wearing those under the nitrile gloves.

It worked! No puddles of sweat.

So, if you have sweaty hands under nitrile gloves giving you problems, try cotton inner gloves to absorb the sweat.

Don't know if anyone else will find this useful or not.

Doubt that I'm the first to do this.

Dear Delinquent Self:

No you may NOT go play with the new bright shiny toy. Finish up the old bright shiny activity first, please.

Love,

For a "luxe" look, consider using satin lamination and spot raised UV ink for your next project. Satin lamination adds a premium feel and perfectly contrasts with the shiny, dimensional effect of spot raised UV ink.

Using coil binding for books enables them to lie flat, both when open or folded over.
