Soft maple is an idea wood for painted cabinetry. It is quite a bit harder than poplar, not that much more expensive, and takes paint very well.

If you still need more of a push, here's a pretty thorough review I found.

I have a 4 3/4" crown hanging from it for about 8 years. It DOES hold.
You're gluing to both the ceiling and the wall... it's plenty strong enough.
I've done exactly what you said... I used construction adhesive. It was SO much easier than trying to screw into the top plate and they are not going anywhere.
The only thing I would do...
IMHO, I'd have to say that half the posts in this thread, up to and including yours, show a definite "condescending attitude". :(
edit: And seeing the most recent post by a "moderator", it seems...
It's sad when people's fragile feelings become more important than FACTS.
:( :( :(
Very well put Dennis. I couldn't agree more.
I think it's a much better alternative to poplar as a paint grade wood. It's quite a bit harder and takes paint very well. All the painted cabinets I sell are soft maple.
It wasn't missed. It's just that your "facts" are not relevant to the question asked. In fact, the majority of your citations are from foreign countries. I know OSHA covers a lot, but not THAT much....
Well then it shouldn't be presented as fact.
I believe I found the source of Bill's claim that "almost all woodworkers will become ill from wood dust". I'ts been awhile since I have been to his website, but I found it. That claim is based on...
Phil... anyone can find evidence that wood dust can cause health problems. you need to look no further than our own governments studies for that info. That is not the area of contention.
Bill has...

In my own research on dust collection, I have only encountered this claim on your website and on your forum postings. However, I have been unable to find any mention of it elsewhere. Could you point...
By residual particles, are you referring to the particles in your shop air before or after cutting???
Excellent point Phil. Of all the people who have reported their results of Bill's testing, they all mentioned how quickly their DC returned the air quality to the baseline after cutting ceased (by...
You never really explained why you think they are not worth the money. :confused:
FWIW... Customers generally love them. THEY are the ones who determine if they are worth it or not. If...
OK now I'm confused... you spent most of your post talking about how the residual dust is caused by insufficient airflow and/or poor dust hood design allowing dusto to escape and never reach the DC....
I'm not sure why you are assuming that their is any litigation between the two parties. Even more questionable is why you would question the motives of Mr. Witter's posts. If there WAS litigation,...
Well said Rick. I too am concerned about the overall tone of negativity here at the creek. It has quickly gone from questioning people's names to now questioning their injuries. Somebody actually...
Put me down for still being incredibly confused as to why Rick Wynn is sticking to his comments about ASHRAE being useless if you are competing against Donaldson-Torit. Donaldson-Torit uses ASHRAE...
I was hoping as well.
Not this one... http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=43963
