Re: getting the feel of woodworking

got my scrap wood wet, is it still good to cut and build it as sawhorse? or should i dry it first?

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

If just wet from rain just let it dry when the sun comes out. If soaked in water for too long, you need to let it dry as long as you can as the weather is humid nowadays.

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

wet from rain, thank you sir

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

if drying those wet lumber will take long for you to start a project, i might suggest you buy dry ones from your local lumberyard!

naiinip nako kasi sa project mo..hehehe

the rain wont stop me from doing something especially woodworking...

imho the saw horses can wait!

nagtatatlong isip kase akoeh. If i can make a good (para sa akin) saw horses then what will happen to my entertainment rack I can imagine how crooked it will become

then use decent wood and avoid headaches. my sawhorses are not exactly level nor even... but I use them for rough work. But you can always put a flat piece of plywood over them and have a flat surface.

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

yesterday i decided to make some sawhorses, in the middle of measuring ang marking stage i decided to make a worktable (table coz its not decent enough to be called a bench). next weekend i can start my entertainment rack.

we would like to believe you, kaya lang walang pitures eh. Di tuloy namin alam kung tutoo yan... post pictures we love pictures :icecream:

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

here is the picture of the table i made last weekend, from scrap to junk. its satisfying and disappointing

these are my pile of scrap and now im afraid of using it

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

that is a nice bench, you really might not believe how nice that is compared to my first table. we all start somewhere and from here, seems like your off to a good start. keep it up.
cheers

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

Looks exactly the same with my previous workbench that lasted more than 12 years..

Re: getting the feel of woodworking

Aside from the sturdy bench, what caught my eye is the giant sanding disc at the floor at the back of the table. I never knew that there was a 12-inch sander existed, probably industrial...

Only to realize it was the spin drier's cover of the washing machine 😀
