    Wood sealant help

    I suspect it is a plywood or MDF core veneered with another wood. If it were solid throughout, with the cross-grain pattern shown, normal seasonal expansion and contraction would eventually break it apart. Several coats of good varnish, equally applied to top and bottom should do the trick...

    Built a new wood shed

    I have cut firewood for three families going on 40years: with a good footing, and when cut to length and stacked with care.....I have never had one fall down even in 60mph winds (two near miss hurricanes)

    Yep: knowing what you are doing is key to many endeavors.

  8. Solar Power

    "hope" is not a very good strategy. solar power is great for electronic loads like a trickle charger on an automotive battery or any small DC devices. Without heavy government (taxpayer) support, solar power for large inductive AC loads will never be affordable as the purchasing power of the...

  9. Solar Power

    What's wrong with a Ferrari? The enclosure in front of the power pole houses a 7kw diesel generator. note the manual transfer switch mounted to the side of the meter box. The only tool in my shop that I cannot run is a large shaper........too much starting current. Common sense required of...

    Solar Power: the renewable Burden on American Tax Payers excerpt from an article I wrote for the local "mullet wrap"......... Solar-photovoltaic power is not a “green” technology. Being “green” is a deceptive PC-socialist-political invention that is designed to make people feel good about...

    Need Advice on Gate Openers

    The original GTO mighty mule was an adequate gate opener, but the current version (and their customer service) is lacking in a number of ways. In order for the gate to move a full 90 degrees, the hardware has to be mounted on a 2" steel or aluminum pipe. The control board also acts as a $100...

    You could also "pilot drill" the holes for the trim so it does not split as you mentioned.

  14. Source for Baltic birch plywood and quality wood?

    It does wonders for Armadillo as well.

  16. Source for Baltic birch plywood and quality wood?

    True metric Baltic birch plywood does not come in 4x8 sheets to my knowledge: Imitation Chinese made does, but is not the equal of true Baltic birch. It's best application is for drawer-boxes.

  17. Like asking Jeffery Dahmer for a recipe. ...............................

    If you want the "best" that would be lignum vitae. Others suggested here are all good. I prefer bald cypress. However, redwood, while resisting the elements, and pretty when new, has a very short grain and if a 300 pounder plops down on your bench, unscheduled events may transpire.

  19. Social distance project (Cabin #2).

    Did you have to use any kind of waterproofing or other treatment where the CMU block is below grade?

  20. Raised Garden Bed

    also penta chlorophenol and copper napthanate. My guess is that it was not removed for being a health hazard, it was removed so it would not endure and consumers would have to buy more. I use cinder blocks now
