I think a number of woods are played down to boost sales of other woods more expensive. I trust what I’ve seen more than some of the
books, and I think that’s the way of many. That makes for...

Green (in color) poplar is pretty durable. Used a lot of it in employments making stuff for exterior use. Some contractors doing

It’s possible that it might have some sap edges. But I haven’t heard or read about defects. Redwood is soft , I’ve seen it cursed and

Ipe is real good. I have an Ipe deck , don’t remember when I made it. Probably at least 20 years ago. But I wouldn’t put one deck over

Plywood, covered with light canvas glued down with Titebond 2 or 3 . I prefer 2. Paint it , it will last . Nothing new, goes back to

Beautiful piece ! But what really makes it desirable to all , is it is lean . People used to like deep pieces , now they don’t.
Lot of them were cut up to make newer stuff.

I have worked in big mills with a lot of stock ,some keep air dried because people ask for it.
Ask them if they are selling some air dried. They will certainly give you an answer.

Seen a lot of drawers with wood strips on low side . I think they were scared to make the drawers too tight .

But, was it kiln dried ? Or just air dried ? Some don’t like kiln dried because the color is not as good as air dried.

I think they just want you to enjoy the experience ! They follow Martha Stewart’s guidance. Lightning might be a reason, too.

I’ve worked with old timers who always worked with air dried walnut. I haven’t forgotten that, because they were always talking about it.
They never left out the, “ Kiln dried doesn’t have the good...

The gov -ment don’t allow no GOOD Paint . I would use painted canvas covering . Old ,and still works. The canvas soaks up paint

MORE great stuff ! Mike , I think some have fixed that ‘kickback’ by drilling a hole in the back of the case, That makes for air
de-compression. I’ve seen it in old furniture.

Lot of the old pattern makers vises have been broken. So any of them can break . I was always told to use only enough pressure to
hold the work. I’ve seen old timers be careful with tightening ...

I used a black lawn and garden bag, in 2 ply mode and enjoyed it all. I enjoy noon marks more, it’s a show every sunny day.
This town has a 90 foot pyramid noon mark with a special feature . ...

Pretty sure I haven’t seen one like that before ! The wood looks likes the old cloth on new Radios and Television, but it’s stronger
and harder to make ! Clever , interesting stuff.

If you have the directions read them . Then let us interpret what….anything means . I think that used correctly they are safe , any
thing that is not clear will be answered here.

YES , but some of the lesser art work can be painted over ,and the steel will not have been eaten up by rust. I think even Mike
Angelo painted over some of HIS work. Can’t resist posting my...

Thanks ,Eric but I’m retired ….so I started hoarding a long time ago. You can also cut the saws down between any bent sections and
