As long as they’re both water-based and you scuff it up a little with 120 beforehand, you should be fine, although I haven’t used that specific set of finishes. Can always do the tried and true and try it out on a test piece first if you’re really worried.

But yeah, TBH, even if you went crazy and used epoxy or urushi, pretty sure it’d get scratched up with kids being kids. I use 10+ coats for specific applications, and it’s very scratch resistant (in fact it seems more more than the technically harder urushi… this is where I redact a few paragraphs of finish hardness discussion…), but standing up to kids, nah.

I really like the bottle stoppers. Not sure I really have anything big enough but I’m going to see what I can glue up. The bigger pieces are usually softwoods too, unfortunately, but even just carving something decorative for the top could be cool.

I did try that once but you’re right I should give it a go again with better wood choices (verawood is just too waxy to glue unless you treat it right I guess.)

Ohhh, I hadn’t even thought of that, and I have done some small epoxy projects before. I guess the question would be then what after that… But at least it would be a bigger chunk to work with.

90t 10" Diablo does plywood without affecting veneer.

Well now I know what else I’m buying on my next trip to the hardware store…

It is one thing to seize terrain and another to hold it. The American public would be confronted with video images of their sons and daughters being picked off one by one at night by Canadian soldiers, reservists, and citizens who volunteered as paramilitary partisans.

100%. Beating Simo Häyhä’s record is a tough challenge, but it gives us a nice goal to aim for.

Maybe there are some downsides I’m not aware of, but this sounds like great news to me. There are some great local microbreweries, sure, but I really miss some brews from when I was living in SK and it’s such a pain to get them several provinces away.

Music is definitely not a solved problem. About 30% of my favorite older tunes aren’t available on streaming at all, as I discovered when I tried to find a way to casually share with some friends.
