    Woodsrunner, Is this normal for walnut?

    Do NOT use iron Nitrate on Walnut. Continue sanding to 320, seal, and finish with your choice of finish. This is walnut...

    Drill it out and file outside diameter, and reuse. It's plenty long enough. My bet is when you dropped it, damage occurred, this is VERY thin metal...

    As you said "LMF is very versatile", and their directions reflect that. I believe there are as someone else stated "more than one way to skin a cat" I'm sure my method wasn't exactly by the written directions, but very close. I do know it very easily accomplished what I was after. I myself...

    I believe heavier coats of product has more of a factor than time on coarseness of finish. Wiscoaster is also perhaps carding(scaling) to much. He says he is using steelwool. I used burlap and had wonderful success. Also have heard builders using denim.

    It's obvious you have online access. Go to LMF website and read the online product directions. Much more thorough information there. I believe this was mentioned in your thread that included your rewrite of their included instructions...

    Whatever you say. I guess my understanding of LMF written directions and English language is totally wrong. PLEASE RE-READ LMF DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS I JUST DID TO LET YOU KNOW... I also read your convoluted re-interpretation of said instructions.

    Nothing like making a simple 4 hour process into an agonizing procedure... Sorry, for your struggles(self-induced) but a little more thorough study of the assembly videos or a call to Jim, would have certainly helped you. At least you seem to be enjoying the process. To each his own, I suppose.

    Barrel needs to have final fit before tenons get drilled. You may need to move barrel in channel for a perfect fit, if they are predrilled in tenon, your predrilled holes in stock may not line up with predrilled holes in tenons, therefore tenons are not predrilled from kibler, at least on SMR.
