>>2950568Witness the turds I have polished this day.
how do i make this nice?
>>2950564i was going to ask how you got good at that but then I remember what I tell people, by doing it, messing it up, and repeating until you get better. nice work anon.

Where can you get small offcuts of various hard woods for cheap?
>>2951217noroc, de vreo 6 ani >>2951211lots and lots of frustration, autistic fixation on detail
>>2951171with a router jig the fancy way, or with an angle grinder and sandpaper pads the cheap way
I glued up a few boards sandwiched between 2 plywood sheets to make a tabletop for a low workbench. Alas it has warped along the long axis and I'm racking my brains as to what the best method is for straightening it out. The top is 105x40x3 cm and the concavity is 0.25 cm at one end and 0.3 cm at the other. My only idea so far is to glue and screw on straight pieces of wood at either ends and the middle running along the width to force it flat. Only question then is whether to clamp it on the concave or convex side or if it matters at all. Pic attached in case I didn't explain properly. The lines across the board is how I'd attach the aforementioned straight pieces.
Nice craftsmanship for a start! Really cool!…and now for something completely different:Industrial grade shit!That’s like the worst joint I’ve ever seen. Take the cheapest particle board, put a V-notch in it, put some fake, plastic veneer on it, fold it, done. Surprised me that it held for that long. For a used cabinet I got for really cheap for the kids room, it wasn’t a big deal, since that was an easy fix, but apparently, that’s a name brand cabinet that cost a few hundred euros. WTF, I’d be really pissed, had I bought this POS for full price.
>>2951534Actual mill. Pieces that have wild figuring and unique growth marks are less desirable for cabinetry where they would create nonuniformity. >>2951703Yeah. Work at a shop if you want to spend all day fussing with edge banding. Then they'll try to do a run of some sort of textured photo finish or whatever laser printed and clear coated sheet trash. It's not even a veneer that gives you so many millimeters to attempt to correct an issue. Commonly banding machines, cnc, or shop saws might still chatter the cuts because there's no integrity to the surface. The core is junk too, but that's generally not a problem. It's cheap for somebody to make and takes a job away from a painter or finisher.
>>2951569thanks router jig is not expensive too
should i get a circular saw or a routercircular saw will enable me to cut up and modify boarded furniture can't use anything else for this purposerouter could help me with perfect mortises
>>2951959buy tools as you need them. if your project needs a circ saw get that, if you're doing mortises get that. mortising with a router though is kind of a pain since you also need a jig, which if you're not building one will cost another $100 for a reputable brand
>>2950558you post in /wwg/ all the time why the fk didn't you follow the pastebin and title
>>2951959For any kind of woodworking, you need at a minimum a drill/driver, a circular saw (then a track/miter/table saw), and a router. you need some basic hand tools for measurement like rulers, tape, square, and a couple of chisels. Buy as you need them, but skilsaw and router are so fundamental, you really need both, but can start with the saw first.
>>2951959I was in your position and I got a skilsaw first but at that time I didn’t have a mitre saw so I’d just use the kreg cross cut joh which worked surprisingly well with the cheapest makita circular and it cuts good lap joints tooIf you consider a router dont forget that you’ll want to invest in dust extraction too and goggles and a peltor unless you like having dinner covered in dust with a wood chip in your eye and tinnitus
>>29520532nd for hearing protection with a router, damaged my hearing for a few weeks routing out the back of this 14 foot window sill...
>>29520533rd for earpro, bluetooth ones are alright but be careful not to get distracted by them. I also wear a respirator all the time ever since I started monitoring air quality in my shop
>>2952032obviously i have a drill and a shitty table saw and other hand tools but circular saw is better for boards ie sheets and hand mortising is imperfect and can lead to crooked structures
>>2952026don't even know what that word is and to going to google it
first frame jobthings used: manual miter, a router, a chisel, already planed oak rectangles
I have maybe a stupid question and know little about stick frame houses butIf everyone recommends against screwing down into end grain why do I see framing videos from other countries where professional crews build entire walls by screwing long big screws into the ends of 2x4s. Are they wrong or is it okay under certain conditions
>>2952225in theory it isn't quite as strong but when you are building a framed wall it is just fine because pullout force isn't the load applied to the fastener, it's shear strength. also, almost all load applied to stick framing is downward which is a compressive strength problem and it only really concerns the wood pieces pressing against each other. all the other loads which can be applied side-to-side are mostly dealt with by the sheathing on the side of the framed wall. the rigid sheet of plywood keeping its rectangular shape while screwed into the framing is what gives the wall strength against these non-downward forces such as wind loads.
>>2952225if they drill a hole first, slightly narrower than the screw thread is wide, it will be ok
>>2952053>tinnitusI got tinnitus while relaxing on the couch drinking a beer.Also, I don't hear it unless someone mentions it. Thanks, fucker.
>>2951569guy in picture is a retard.the plywood is going to have too much flex in that orientation. Better off to rotate his guides 90 degrees and glue a runner on the bottom.
anyone used this before? yay or nay?the traditional ones that you hammer up dont work for me, bench underside is not acessible
>>2952607I was going to say "that's gay, it shouldn't be metal" but then I zoomed in and, yeah, that's wood.I guess it would have to be pretty sturdy wood though.I'm just afraid of accidents with metal things and expensive plane blades and/or table saws.I should look into aluminum screws/bolts since that's like metallic wood.
