Just seal it with a little poly from a spray can and everything should be fine. If he chews on it, mix a little powered cayenne pepper in with some poly and brush it on.

I would use maple, beech or something without tanin in it. I would not use oak or anything else that turns black from contact with iron when wet. From what I gather from the research I did before,...
I have a Ridgid 16 gallon and really like it. It does not spew dust back out because I use the .3 micron filter. Works really well for the Ridgid 5" ROS I have. I only wish it had the auto-start...
I have never used it but check out these sites. Like you I have used hickory/pecan, mesquite, oak, and many other things but not walnut.

Just google "wood toxicity" and you will get plenty of university and wood research sites that give you great data on what is toxic and not. Walnut wood is not toxic but can be an irritant. Try...
Woodweb has listings for sawmills all over the place. I would saw it all into lumber if I had a mill.

If you are asking about Eastern Red Cedar (sometimes called aromatic cedar), it has a lot of sap in it. It will air dry quickly under the right conditions but the sap will still bleed out for years....
It is a newspaper rack. They drape over the tops like sheets on a clothesline.
I think they both look great. I really like the small vase.
I had it at my house for a few years. Only really went out during bad storms. Works only with line-of-sight to the tower. Tree leaves can interfere with it as well so make sure the radio is above...
I'm not too far from you being between Denton and Ft. Worth. They are very clearly different here. Bark is completely different and a dead giveaway.
Thanks for the replies. I'm really hoping to get input from someone that has built a murphy bed using this hardware and plan before. All the other threads address areas other than time. Anyone...
I respectfully disagree. A wood floor should not reduce your efficiency, just the amount of time it takes for the heat to reach the top surface. Wood flooring should also act as a heat sink that...
Hey everyone,
I have researched the creek regarding Murphy beds and came up with several hits. Great info here. I think I'll use the Rockler kit but I'm concerned how long this project will take....
You need sand/gravel at the bottom of the hole to allow water to drain from the post regardless of if you use concrete or dirt. The water is what causes the wood to rot. Dry posts don't rot. Also,...
I think I would just refinish them. I did what you are proposing and it was a big challenge and consumed a massive amount of time. I'd try to get all the treads the same consistent color, maybe use...
I have used a chainsaw to slice lumber before. It is a lot of work (unless you get a Logosol). After that experience I put the logs on a trailer and took them to a mill. Much better experience. The...
Once dry and in a climate controlled environment there should be no problem with either pine or poplar. Keep in mind that many different softwoods are called "pine" today. Just a few are spruce, fir,...
Shiplap the bottom using thin cedar. Install it so the length of the bottom boards run the width of the drawer.
Sweet!!!
Sorry, couldn't resist :D It looks great. Did you turn the lid as well?

That appears to be an image from the latest issue of FWW. As a small table that can easily be mistaken for a stool, especially at a family gathering where seating is in short supply, I would not...

When I was a kid my family had an old Chris Craft boat. When it developed dryrot we used an injectable compound to harden the soft spots. I don't recall what it was but it worked great...
FWW, Woodwork, and Popular Woodworking. I used to have Wood Mag, American Woodworker and the one from Rockler (Woodworker Journal?) but they featured projects and I don't like following anyone elses...
but I dropped it (along with others and kept Fine Woodworking, Woodwork and Popular Woodworking). Like the previous poster said, it covers the basics. It never challenged me and I lost interest. I...
The effectiveness on stopping an active infestation of PPBs with chemicals applied to the surface can be debated BUT do you really want to breathe the microscopic dust laced with chemicals when you...
