Yeah. Sarcasm doesn't translate well.
Anyhow, if it is a more pointed comment or critique, maybe you will remember it easier. I might not be around next time to remind you again.
If I don't bother addressing your delusions and mistakes, assume it means I don't care whether you leArn or not.

You are starting to learn well Grasshopper.

Hahahaha!
I see you're a firm believer in the 2X4 mode of communication. I used to be, too. But I learned from experience it doesn't work. At least, not for me.

Well, I tried staining the plywood but it didn't work. I had tried it B4 on a tung oil- sealed piece of ply, and it worked fine. But this time, since we had to sand after applying the Tung oil, it opened the wood up again, unevenly. Also, it was too dark and not rosy enough.
I've attempted that stain on four different woods by now. One was matching new maple legs to a mahogany-like dresser. We had to use it more like a glaze in order to achieve the desired color. Also, I learned from experience- and online- that maple is a byatch to stain bc the grain keeps switching direction and the stain soaks in unevenly and winds up looking blotchy.
Then I tried it on sealed birch plywood and it worked great on that.
Then I used it on a raw wood beech drawer-pull, one that hubby had fabricated to replace a missing drawer-pull for the same dresser, and it worked great! I can't tell the original from the replacement. But beech is a close, evenly-grained wood which accepts stain uniformly.
Tried it last on birch plywood, the same plywood that I had experimented with before, but this had been sanded afterwards and, once again, uneven! So a lot depends on the wood and how it's been prepped. But if you're working with absorbent wood, or wood that changes grain, you need to seal it first.
****
Since staining wasa bust, I went on to trying a light coat of tung oil in mineral spirits, about 1:2. Most of the wood was beech, and it was evenly sealed, so a little (like, less than 1/4 c) went a long way! Right now the mineral spirits make the wood look wet, so I have to let it evaporate before I can see what the final result looks like. But since it went on evenly, it'll probably be OK

At the end of the day I'm fine with how I do my taxes.
I don't pay anybody else to do them, and I never wait very long for them to come back.
They're almost always very small, and I'm the last person you're going to find who needs them to come quickly.

Checked in on the bed frame. The mineral spirits evaporated and the (very light) oiling restored gloss and depth, and eliminated the chalky look from sanding.

Need some pics Sigs.
Hey... Has your husband ever built cabinets before?
I'm wondering how much width you need between the drawer and the side of the opening if you use side-mounted drawer slides.
I'm going to have to fabricate my boxes out of various existing drawers I've pulled over the years, and I'll need to get the width right before I paint them and find out I made it too wide or too short.

He's made a dresser with drawers. The widest drawers are appx 4' wide (I'll measure later) with side-mounted drawer slides, but the carcasse, drawer slides, and drawers are very sturdy, so they don't sag across the width. I'll give you specs later.
I haven't bothered to figure out to post pix,yet. Just haven't had the time and focus. Where do you post pix to? I'm sure I could figure it out by doing a "reply with quote" and looking at your links, but if you get me started it would save me a lot of time. Sorry and thanks!
