    Rubberwood Substitute for Bunkbeds

    All, Thanks for your inputs. Maple and poplar did come to mind. Since this is not a heritage project, I was really considering poplar because of the cost. Cypress is an interesting option though. Howard, I did not figure rubberwood lumber would be that easy to come by. Am I wrong in that...

    Rubberwood Substitute for Bunkbeds

    I am going to build an extension on my daughters' bunkbeds and I, and they, would like the wood to roughly match. This picture shows the basic structure of what we are trying to get to, but is not their beds. I am going to add on the bed and frame section that come off to the right. The...

    DeWalt (D51275) 15 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer - Jam Clearing Latch Loose

    I recently purchased a used DeWalt 15 Guage Angled Finish Nailer (D51275). It looks to be in good condition, fires well and I am generally happy with it. However, yesterday as I was using it, I noticed that the Jam Clearing Latch does not always stay closed. The latch moves properly, but as I...

    Pallet wood

    Hey good luck with recycling the pallets. I actually made a couple of painted bookcases with pallet wood. My biggest learning experience with that endeavor was the amount of stress that wood can be under. I started out working the wood, jointing, planing and ripping to size. At one point, I...

    Recommendations for Bathroom Cabinets

    Thanks all. I have used the Sherwin Williams Pro Classic before. It worked pretty well. I guess it is time to start planning those cabinets. Thanks again.

    Thoughts on Wooden Drawer Slides

    I am considering building some bathroom cabinets for our master bath. With any cabinet project, drawers are a necessary component. I have built a couple of other cabinets and used basic wood-on-wood drawer runners. More exactly, I used wood drawers gliding on that slick drawer runner tape on...

    Recommendations for Bathroom Cabinets

    So, in the next six months I may be looking at building some bathroom cabinets. I envision them being your basic shaker front cabinets in white. The last time I made something for bathroom, I chose a sprayed on waterbased acrylic from Homestead finishing. The piece was a step-stool for my...

    Pulling up glued and nailed sub-floor

    Thanks all for your input. I will try to let you all know how this project goes, however this will be over the next year. So, don't look for updates tomorrow. I do have a day job.

    Pulling up glued and nailed sub-floor

    We are having this work designed and engineered by licensed professionals. The work will be permitted and up to code. I plan to check into how the originals are to be tied into the existing structure.

    Pulling up glued and nailed sub-floor

    The old joists will stay in place because the 1st floor ceiling is attached to them. I am just getting the sub-flooring off so I can get the new 2x12 joists in place beside (possibly sistered, i.e. nailed to the old joists) the existing ones. Unfortunately, the difference in the old and new...

    Pulling up glued and nailed sub-floor

    Thanks guys. Sounds like I will end up with a bunch of 14 1/2" strips of plywood. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure they used construction adhesive. Fortunately, the new 2x12 joist that are going in will a little taller than the existing joists. I will likely sister the old ones to the new...

    Pulling up glued and nailed sub-floor

    We are in the planning stages of an attic renovation. We want to turn it into a Master Bedroom Suite. The designer came in and had a look at the ceiling/floor joists to see if they would do for finished space. As you could guess, they don't. So I am going to have to pull up the sub-floor...

    Any place to buy 2x4 SYP in North Carolina these days?

    If I recall correctly, I called Talbert's when I was looking for some specific wood. I think they are wholesale/distributor-only. I don't think they cater to retail or hobbyist. That said, it would be worth a call to verify that.

    Tree Rounds @ Avondale and Camden in Durham

    These are on the side of the road at Avondale and Camden in Durham. I think the address is 1620 Avondale Road, Durham, NC. These aren't mine, nor do I know any details about them. Just thought I would share in case they interested someone.

    BIG Sections of Tree at Camden and Avondale in Durham

    Sorry guys, I don't have a picture, but I have passed by two 3 - 4' sections of a 4' diameter tree sitting on the side of Avondale Road in Durham at Camden Road. I looked at these and immediately started thinking about large rough-edge tables and other stuff that is beyond me. And everytime I...

    Is Magnolia wood workable for furniture?

    OK, that's got me curious :icon_scra... why would you have to 'sterilize' magnolia and not other woods?
