I’m planning to make one wall in my room completely covered in unframed pictures. How do I make the pictures stick without it looking tacky? I do plan to eventually gloss over them with clear paint or modge podge, so that rules out earthquake tack. Tape falls into the ‘tacky’ category, and glue is too permanent. Any suggestions?

Russ asked:


I’m getting into woodworking and i want to get a planer, but i am too cheap to get a bench planer and to lazy to get a non power planer, so that leads me to hand power planers.
If i get one with only a 3.5 inch blade will i be able to plane desktops by making multiple paralle passes?
How difficult is it to learn to be competent with a hand power planer?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a first time power planer?

THanks

Antony G asked:


I would imagine this would depend on the number of cuts per inch. So which would produce a smoother surface?
I understand that using any planer will not produce a smooth finish, but which would produce a less rough surface?

I already tried to buy @ rigid.com and i called too, but they didn’t have them. I need them like now, so I’d appreciate any help.
There are supposed to be 3 blades in one set. Again, the model for the planer is R4330…and it’s RIGID.
Thnx.
i’ll try home depot…but i thought they got their appliances from rigid though…correct me if i’m wrong.

Surface planer – does it produce a smooth surface?

Antony G asked:


I’m going to cut some 12 mm wide strips of MDF ( 30mm thickness) using a table saw, and I want to finish off the cut surfaces but without using a sander. I was wondering if a surface planer would be ideal.

I would obviously guess that running a piece of MDF through this type of machine is not going to get the material super smooth like you would get using a sander, but how smooth would the surface be.

Basically, as long as it takes out any saw cut marks from using the table saw that would be OK.
Basically, I have a sheet of MDF (30mm) thinkness that I need to cut into 12mm strips. The important thing is that I need the cut surfaces to be free of any machining marks because I aim to use the cut sides of the MDF as the top surface of a new sheet which I will make from putting lots of strips together (they will be glued onto a backing board). I guess it’s similar to doing a mosiac. When I cut the strips of MDF using my table saw, it leaves some faint saw marks on the material. I just need to know if I put the strips through a surface planer will the planer get rid of those marks. I don’t mind if the surface is quite rough as long as there are no machining marks. Lastly, it would not be possible to sand the cut surfaces of the MDF because it will damage the grain – so to speak.
