Don,
I received a private message. When I went to respond, pushing the send button, nothing seems to happen and no evidence is created of its existence.

I tried to respond to your message but it didn't seem to take it. The weight is right at 20 lbs. It should be crated which would add. It is 83" long. My zip is 97401. I usually use fedex. Don't...

To erect the 86' bridge we had to drill over 250 holes to mount brackets on the 4" side of a 4x6 and 4x8 pressure treated...
This is the only problem window. It is an aluminum clad window (Marvin). It is using insulated glass. It is not leaking at the top. The only thing I can think happened was the sash actually leaked...
Polyshades is a Urethane Stain finish. I had read some negative reviews of Polyshades. Oddly enough a friend had given me a new quart of cherry Polyshades that sat in the cabinet. My problem was...
I second Scott Holes suggestion of blocking off the doorway. I did my cherry entrance door the hard way, sanding it down to bare wood. I used Smith's epoxy sealer as a first coat and then added...

For some reason I couldn't ad this one to my other reply.

Below are additional pictures of the night stands. I built a simple jig to apply assemble the sides using the pocket screws which also used the slot of the panel (1/2" solid cherry) for a short...
There are five people who have really stepping in at appropriate times. First, the architect, Jonathan, who designed it at no charge and continued to make modifications as times and conditions...
I felt one of the strongest efforts was getting the working platforms set up in advance. We wanted to create good and safe working surfaces as well as access by the volunteer professionals and the...
We had a small bedroom to fill and started looking for what was called a storage bed or farm bed taking advantage of the space under the mattress for storage. After looking at bedroom sets and...

Raised Panel door painting aided by gravity (not vertical).
The source of the bolts was a Portland bolt distributor. I am not sure where the rings came from. Simpson brackets were used with the last jig I built (in the pickup). This meant that we didn't...
I like to spray them flat. No drips, no runs, no errors.
For a door I use screws as props if you want to handle them. Take two heavy screws. Install them in the bottom of the door about 3...
I would use a good oil based enamel. I used Rodda Porcelite in the past. More recently I have used a Sherwin Williams oil based enamel. Ask them for their best oil based enamel. It went on great...
Thanks for your post on this item. I think I am going to pick it up. I have a Graco HVLP that I have been avoiding using because of the stiffness of the hose.

Finishing touches:
Alas, the project is finishing up with the last coat of two-part urethane satin. Here I am spraying first into the tight spots by narrowing my pattern, compensating...

I must admit, it was my first volunteer project like this. Fortunately, I have done commercial building projects and still have a bunch of remaining tools like the old beam saw that would cut...
