I don't really know how to do it... I know that you need friction to make everything heat up but what can I use?

i have some paste finishing wax, i have my ancient archtop hollow body, i've got #0000 Steel wool, all the stuff people have said, but how do i apply the wax so i get a nice smooth finish that won't rub off or anything like that? It needs to be good becuase it is very expensive wood, don't bother to say "Take it too a luthier!" cause if i could i would i assure you ^_^.

Well now all we see is the lines were he joined them together, some of the lines are really big gaps. Is there any type of cocking, glue, putty we can put in between them so it doesnt look so bad??

I've done this one other time and it turned out pretty good, it was just hard measuring and getting exact tiles around things

I am re-decorating a guest room in the shabby-chic, cottage look. Kind of in-between, really.

I bought a round plaque (wall decor) that looks like carved wood, but it is acutally made of resin. The outside rim has a soft fluted design, kind of like the edge of a piecrust. In the center of the plaque is a raised desgin of roses, flowers, and leaves.

The plaque is pure-white, but it has some dark, grayish highlights here and there to give it that distressed, "shabby" look.

I plan to use the plaque above my daybed, which has a curved back, higher in the center. On either side ot the round plaque, I want to place some plates or platters.

The problem? The plaque is pure white, and I want to use creamy ivory in the room. Ivory is the color used in the bedding, and I plan to re-do some furniture pieces in ivory as well.

What products do I use on the resin piece, and what color for the distressed accent look?

Thanks. I know the look I want, but I'm lost.

Ok, the one in question is on a 15 amp fuse

I have a few other ceiling lights hooked up to the panel.

a) If I have all the lights on the 15 amp fuse turned on, is there some instrument that I can buy that will show how many amps are currently being drawn?

b) If yes to a) , how much does a good(top of the line) one go for.

c) If yes to a) , where should I connect this tool to meausure properly.

thanks

This is an old octagonal kiln, an L and L . I added a suction vent (homemade) by drilling some holes in the top and bottom, similar to the commercial add ons. Hot air still escapes throught the top holes though, I think because there are too many leaks elsewhere. In a smoke test, smoke will enter the bottom peek hole but not the top one. Can I seal the unit on the outside with aluminum foil tape, as is used on heat ducting work?

I'm building my first house, so this is new construction. The hangers put up sheetrock inside a stand-up shower that is to be tiled completely (floor, walls, ceiling). Does this have to be removed in order to hang the cement backerboard, or can the backerboard be installed over the sheetrock/drywall?

All I've read about backerboard installation only mentions installation over studs, and never mentions anything about existing sheetrock.

We bought an amazing new grill and are wondering to do with our old one other than throwing it out. The burner is shot and we can't find a replacement one but the rest of it is structurally sound I just want to know how to turn it into a charcoal grill or a bbq smoker...I had thought about lining the bottom with ceramic tiling, but I don't think that will supply proper air flow...any suggestions?
