Refinishing Work Bench
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
Hello! Merry Christmas.
I am going to refinish my SYP workbench after I get it cleaned up a bit. I'm wiping it down with DNA, and I am surprised at how dirty is actually is. I used BLO and mineral spirits 50/50 last time I finished it. That still the way to go? Should I try 100% BLO? Any advantages to that? I am worried it might get gummy. What say you?
Thank you!

Central VAC for workshop?
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
I really really hate having a shop vac to cart around, walk around, trip over (when I forget it's there when I turn around), trip overthe power cord to, just taking up floor space when not in use... all necessary evils in the current state of my workshop.
So I'm thinking of installing a central vac system when I build my workshop next year. This is something I will install myself.
One thing I'm going to add to it are cleanouts in the event of a clog to make clearing them easier.
Does anyone here have a central vac system for the workshop? Systemrecommendations - or ones to avoid? Size?
Any concerns with having a central vac system in a workshop?
thanks!

Flattening Suggestions
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
I have two (2) of these doors ... they are 21" wide by 42" tall ...
I glued together two (2) 1X12 boards ... milled them to size ... and routed the edge detail ...
They we flat when I finished ...
I left them set for a week while I completed and hung the face frame ...
Picked them up yesterday and both have warped ... the middle of each panel has raised about 1/4" ...
Any suggestions on how to flatten them again? I have considered running a sawcut down the bow ... half of the thickness of the panel and re-gluing and clamping them down ...
