    Any stick carvers looking for stock?

    I have to cut down an arborvitae that has just gotten out of hand next to my house. It has several trunks that are about 3" or so in diameter and over 10' long. The wood looks like ERC; it would make really nice sticks. I am tempted to bundle it up (you want to do that to keep them straight)...

    Stick Welder Recommendations

    Any suggestions/comments about my buying a 120v stick welder, which will have an output of under 100 amps? My first project will be welding some rebar that I fashion into a trellis for a rose bush. The design has me welding circles of rebar to stiffen the trellis uprights. Sears, Lowes, Home...

    Metal or Stick

    I am looking into building a new shop on my property. What do you recommend as far as a metal building vs a traditional stick building? Any recommendation on size or type of building? I know bigger is better and I do have 5 acres but want to watch my budget as I still need to buy a good...

    1/2" type L copper pipe $5 a stick

    Was in the Habitat ReUse Store in Raleigh today, and they had a cart with mostly 1/2" type L copper for $5 a piece, and some 3/4" for $9. The sticks were a little less than full ten feet in length (8 1/2 - 9+ feet). Lowes sells 10' sticks for $15.35 plus tax. Only ten pieces went home with me...

    I am planning on using cyanoacrylate glue to assemble some small thin pieces. I will hold them with finger pressure until the glue sets but I want to make sure that the assembly stays flat and that the pieces are in alignment. To do this I will use a flat surface with a small fence to butt the...

    Peel and stick veneer

    Has anybody used Rocklers peel and stick veneer? I just bought some and want to use it over a substrate of Birch plywood. The instructions mention sealing the wood first. Are they talking about just porous woods or all woods and will thinned shelac do the trick?
