Just someone who has tried a lot of paint.
I wouldn’t use their satin or semi-gloss on a shelf or cabinet because i don’t think they EVER fully harden, years later you can still mark with a fingernail. Other surviving regional paint stores may also have good stuff.īig box store “premium” flat and eggshell are fine on shelves you’re just putting books or other stuff on and don’t plan on scrubbing (like a kitchen cabinet) much. Water based version is easier but plan on 3 coats, which is also a “pain”. I find oil-based a “pain” myself but it’s bullet proof paint once applied, and may take a practice run or two to understand the best application technique to get a good surface (really, do practice a couple times). SW Pro-Classic Alkyd Enamel is also really great for the purpose. Does take a bit to fully cure/harden – weeks – but is great when it’s done, and you don’t really have to wait a month to put something on it, just saying it will be awhile before you realize why you paid $80 for a gallon (wait for sales). If you wan’t satin or semi-gloss “regular” paint, Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel is great to work with (IMHO, not everyone’s) is water based and hardens up fantastically. And really easy if you can pre-paint flat parts before assembly. Not sure what “total pain” is to you, spray is a total to get into corners and you have to cover the whole room in plastic if you can’t move your project. Limited color selection sure, but fantastic for the purpose, match the rest of the room where you have flexibility with color around the shelves. Maybe I’ll order one size, to satisfy my editorial curiosity, but which one?! If I get a lot of use out if it, maybe I’ll turn my attention back towards this Woodpeckers set the next time the One Time Tool is re-released. If you find yourself wasting a lot of time making templates or hunting down circular materials every time you need to radius corners on your woodworking projects, this might the jig for you.įor me, I love Woodpeckers tools, but I might pick up that Rockler template set. $240 buys the Rockler template, a hole saw set, and thick material that I can make into my own templates for other sizes.īut, you cannot ignore the simplicity and ease of use of this set. But then I think of all the other ways I could put $240 to use. Every time I see these, I think about what I’ve done to achieve round edges in the past, and the Radius Quick Jigs calls to me. Woodpeckers makes great products, but $240 for the set is a lot. See Also: Rockler corner radius jig (which is on sale for $35 as of the time of this posting) But, Rockler’s is close enough that I’d probably go in that direction. I really wanted Woodpeckers’ precision corner jig instead of the Quick Jig, because it looks like it could work with a router table or on larger workpieces with a handheld router. But, I could always make my own template, and there are other commercially-made templates, such as Rockler’s. The last time this One Time Tool was released, I slightly regretted not purchasing it. If you want a custom-fitted Systainer, add $60 to the price. The jigs are $40 each, or $240 for the set of 6, with a case included. It’s a neat-looking way to add round corners to your work.
They’re sized to work with your router table, as shown in the product imagery.
