Installing Non-Mortise Hinges on Inset Cabinet Doors with Face Frame

Tune doors so they have a consistent reveal on all sides, the same as the hinge leaf thickness. Screw one leaf to door and place double stick tape on other leaf. Place scrap equal to hinge leaf thickness on cabinet bottom. Rest door on scrap while pressing stile onto face frame. Tape will hold door so you can open it and mark the screw holes. Remove tape, clamp door to face frame with scrap that is the same thickness as hinge barrel. Drill pilot holes and secure door.

How to Adjust Fence Square to Table on Laguna 1412 Bandsaw

Others have commented on the need to shim the fence body to make the fence square to the table. This isn't necessary as there are screws on the body that allow for this adjustment. Unfortunately, nothing about this is mentioned in the users' manual. Regardless, this is now to do it: First, adjust table square to blade. Next, determine whether the fence is square to table. If not, loosen star knobs holding fence to body and tighten appropriate set screw (upper or lower) on backside of body so it protrudes slightly beyond face of body. Once the knobs are resecured, the protruding screw will push the fence out in the appropriate direction.

Fill Knot Holes in Walnut with Black-Tinted Epoxy

A couple drops of black shoe dye works great. When dry, plane flush. Note: The pigment in Transfast water-soluble dye doesn't dissolve in epoxy. I haven't yet tried the liquid Transfast dye but I imagine it will work fine.
