Slowly transitioning from tool collector to woodworker
My third project. First non-aquarium related piece of functional equipment.
Cedar grill cart; 22†Blackstone, 22†Cuisinart.
Not happy with the sealer I used, and doubting the “outdoor rated†casters its on. It’ll function for a couple years though.
Dust collector trips circuit breaker
Excuse the mess. So I got an electrician to install a 120V/20A dedicated circuit for a Shopfox w1867 dust collector and it keeps tripping on startup. The motor will start for about 2 seconds and then the circuit breaker will trip. The manual says the a 20a dedicated circuit should be fine. The manual also mentions that I should have it connected to a dust collection system otherwise if there is insufficient air resistance then the motor will pull more amps. I have it connected to a 20 foot 4†flexible hose and connected that to my planer. The other feed has a dust cap. The circuit breaker is tripping, not the fuse in the motor. Not sure how I should continue troubleshooting.
can I seal a finished table?
Thanks in advance for any help.
We purchased this table on heavy discount from Anthropologie and it’s in gorgeous condition, but I’ve noticed a couple tiny water marks on the top. I know this is “reclaimed†olive wood, and I’m wondering if there’s any way I can seal the top so that we don’t ruin it in the future by actually eating at the table. It’s very smooth and seems to be soft. I apologize for my lack of woodworking knowledge here. Thanks!
