I was originally going to job out resawing some QSWO framing lumber into 1-by for finish woodwork. I had previously asked about best specs for a bandsaw if I were to decide to do it myself. Some...
Thanks, Lee. If you ever get to Hartville, Ohio... bring your hammer!!! lol
Well, after a delay due to a broken shoulder and torn rotator cuff, we are ready to start salvaging the material. I found a mill who will resaw it for me. But, now I need to invest in a really good...
It's pretty amazing. I took a piece of 2x4, ripped it on the table saw, gave it a quick sanding and put a little danish oil on it. It's quartersawn white oak... the whole house. I am in a little...
Great advice. I was planning on 1x6 (nominal) throughout the entire house. That would leave close to 2.5 inches width for me to also make herringbone flooring for the dining room.
I...
Hi Matt. We're just outside Hartville.
Last year, I bought an old NE Ohio house (built around 1830) that has balloon-framed full-dimensional studs and joists in oak... and I believe it is white oak. It is obviously old growth lumber as...
Mel:
The nails in the original part of the house are mostly Type B square cut nails. I had to go look to be sure before I answered. There's thousands of them... and the darn things are still...
Stew: When the house was built, it had hundreds of acres of property so sound deadening is probably not it. No record it was ever anything but a residence. The boards are tongue and groove like a...
Wayne: These are in all the exterior walls of the original house. I have to pull them out along with the nailing strips so we can insulate.
I took some pics when I was at the house last night. Here's what I'm talking about.
Scott:
That is true... but in new construction, I got blocked on everything. So I checked... in all 88 counties, new construction requires permits to be pulled by licensed contractors. Not the...

I've used these for 50 years. First time people see them, they say "What the...?... is that?" in a...
George: Just outside of Hartville.
Martin:
In Ohio, new construction must have all permit-requiring work done by licensed contractors. So, the heat, plumbing, electric, framing, etc... all done by pros at pro prices. I wouldn't...
Jay:
That second layer is midway between the exterior siding and the lath. From outside in, it goes: siding, air pocket, 2nd siding layer, air pocket, lath, plaster. In some cases, they just...
Hey guys.
My wife and I have purchased another old house here in Ohio... only this time (the last) we are moving in. As the house was built in 1817 (according to documents previous owner had) it...
Kent:
Hmmmm.... well, I guess to start out, I'd like to get the planer, shaper and cutters, and drum sander for... $5000?
To the previous question, during this initial project, I'm probably...
Hi all.
My wife and I decided earlier this year that, after 35 years in the same house, it was time to make a move to our "retirement home." We found a house at auction in Hartville, Ohio right...
Thanks for the replies, guys. I was wondering if there were any other places people post items... like some "dark internet" woodworking sites.
I'll check out the one near Pittsburg. It'll be...
I've been looking for a 24" drum sander for a while now. Grizzly's is $1700. Others are more. I wouldn't mind a used one if it is in good condition. I've checked Craigslist, eBay, AuctionZip.com,...
I was told the Instructables X-Carve CNC router unit is an excellent starter CNC router setup. I was wondering if anyone in NE Ohio might have one they'd be willing to demonstrate for me sometime.

I think I didn't give a full explanation. After doing the folding, she glue-sticks an inch or so on one edge across the folds, gathers the folds together and puts a clip on it to dry. A few minutes...
WOW... guys... thanks! John, above and beyond on the mock-up and posting the pictures that shows this can work! I had not even started my first attempt at the 'rack' yet. Mike, what a great...
