Thanks for the advice. I figure it would be no different than attaching breadboard ends when building a table...tightening the screws down but drilling oval-shaped holes in the boards to allow wiggle...

I have all of that figured out to allow for expansion and contraction. I was looking for ideas to secure the wood to the concrete floor. I am using spar varnish on the bottom and have decided to...

Hi there. I’m looking for advice or help to secure this walnut to a concrete slab floor. I need to allow it to expand and contract with the humidity of the shower in this bathroom. I will...
Thanks Michael. I appreciate the reply. I'll just use the brad nailer then and call it a day.
I am laying down QSWO trim where carpet meets tile around my wood stove, and I'm wondering what my options are for attaching it.
There is some 1/4" hardibacker under it for now, some which I have...
Thanks to everyone for your advice based on personal experience. Strange thing...I already wrote and submitted this reply, but it disappeared, so I'm writing it again.
I still would like to know...
Hello,
I am about to embark on my first of hopefully several projects with QSWO for my living room, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to really make the figure pop. I have been interested...
Thanks again, Scott. And Frank, I agree with you. I have seen it a few times in very old buildings here in PA, always on very narrow floor boards. I plan on goingvwider though, probably random. I...
Thanks a lot, Scott. Regarding the idea of air drying down to 16%, would someone who could kiln dry my boards find that favorable over having to dry them freshly milled? Or would it still be almost...
I am thinking about laying quarter sawn white oak hardwood floors on my first floor. I'm in Central PA near State College, and wondering if anyone knows of any kilns in the area that would dry the...

Thanks for pointing that out, Gary! You're not missing anything, I was. How the heck I missed that, I don't know. Now it seems like I wasted about 5 people's time asking my original question. I...
Nice, thanks Leo!
Just to double check, does anyone advise against the grain of the outer plies running along the shorter dimension of the shelves (they are 38" x 12" x 3/4")? This is my...
Thanks for the advice, guys.
I should have mentioned that I am planning to have a back panel of 1/4" plywood, and I'll be doing a quick job with the brad gun on the whole project. I was hoping...
I am planning to use 3/4" plywood (5 ply) for shelves of a shoe rack in my garage. I plan on having 6 shelves each 40" wide without center support. I can get all the shelves out one sheet of plywood...
Toilet Bowl Effect it is!
Thanks or the answers, guys. As Tom Veatch pointed out, I just can't how "To Be Exact" would make sense in the context of how I presented it. I believe T s for Tenon,...
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here, I believe. What an active forum! I'm glad I found it.
I have noticed an acronym "TBE" on various plans for arts and crafts furniture projects I've...
