I would suggest you stain the project and put the first coat of finish on it before gluing, keeping the stain off the bottom for gluing. Glue the project and base together. If any glue squeezes out use a damp cloth to remove. After the glue sets stain the bottom. The first coat of finish will protect the top from the bottom stain and keep it from being discolored.

The Coffee Shop / Your Prayers Needed To

Please pray for Chasity and the baby (boy). Chasity our niece went into the hospital early this morning in labor. The baby is about three weeks early and she has Preeclampsia. The baby should should be fine even three weeks early but the Preeclampsia could severely injure them both or be fatal.
Thank You from me and my family.

Just a thought Sam, but are you finishing them before gluing? If you are that is the problem. Titebond does no stick well to the finish.

I agree with julief. Especially on small projects had problems with pneumatic brads or staples miss shooting or cracking the piece.

I make the base the same size (length) as the project. I then cut a groove in base down the middle, the same thickness as the project 1/8" deep. So if you used 1/2" wood to make the top, the groove would be 1/2" wide 1/8" deep the length of the base. The groove gives more surface area for the glue to hold.

I think Dewalt makes excellent tools, they have very high ratings. I own several. You have to remember it is a machine. And depending on how much you use it parts of it tend to wear out. If you by a Mercedes-Benz don't you have to change the oil, replace brakes, replace tires and replace a fuse now and then. Sometimes the old clich? you get what you pay for is true.

One time, the blade broke (only a 1/2" of the bottom of the blade) even before i cut any wood!

That is a sign of to much tension. Back it off some. After setting the tension take you finger and gently push the blade from side to side. It should flex 1/8".

I agree. When you start to have to push the wood rather than guide it or you start burning the wood. I use to go till the blade broke. Now I can tell when it is getting dull and change it. I have never had flying debris but it sure will make you jump when it breaks.

Or you know what it could be GB. Gremlins. They came though the Internet from Steve's computer, right into yours and jumped into your saw.. The forum is spreading them. Watch out.
