Auger bits are another option for drilling large holes with a handheld drill, but they are better suited for drilling holes in very thick wood. Auger bits require a drill with a good amount of power, they can be difficult to wrestle, and they can leave a pretty rough hole behind. Hole saws can also get the job done, but they’re slow and removing the plugs from the bit can be a challenge....

Using a Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner To help even out the color when working with bare woods, you can try using a pre-stain wood conditioner. The conditioner works by penetrating and temporarily sealing the wood to even out the rate of absorption, thereby creating a much more uniform stain coat. Some woodworkers claim that brush-on pre-stain conditioners are necessary whenever using brush-on or rub-on stains with certain woods, but that gel stains are much less prone to splotching and can be used without the pre-stain conditioning....

Although this tradition has been legislated into law now, from the very beginning of our nation’s founding, patriotic men felt that it was improper to honor any living person by putting their image on the legal tender currency, especially the circulating coins. George Washington declined when our young nation wanted his portrait on the first U....

Use this list to identify a number of some common types that antique furniture fans are likely to run across in their adventures. The French word boudeuse translates as “sulky”—typical, perhaps, of the mood of a pair of lovers who chose to sit facing away from each other on this type of seating. Leg and foot styles vary, depending on the exact period. Cabriole legs are typical on Queen Anne and Chippendale pieces, while tapered legs characterize those in the style of Hepplewhite (whose designs the style is often connected to), and elaborately carved monopodium feet often adorn Empire pieces....

You can buy a property when you land on it. Once you own a monopoly of a color group, you can make improvements on your properties with houses or hotels anytime during your turn or even between turns of your opponents....
