I had this idea to build a 16′ x 7′ overhead garage door, but I’m not sure what type of wood to use. I’m a theatre technician. So, my idea was to build each segment similiar to a broadway flat. The way I build a broadway flat is by using 1″ x 4″ pine as a flat frame with the 4″ part connecting to the luan panel. I don’t think that either of those materials would be suitable for outdoor use, but I would like to use materials with similiar properties. I will be using standard garage door hardware on it, but the flats are just the basic concept.

The wood is glued to the bottom of a table with white glue. It is stuck together really well.

I plan on making a gift out of wood for a christmas present, a box, or perhaps carving out a heart, something like that.

I have created such gifts before, but always in a class where the materials were supplied. I do not know what type of wood to use.

In my class, we sanded down the wood and coated it to make it shine and slick. What wood would work with this? and also what would I use for the coating?

GNJ asked:


My dad surprised me and build my studio box but he took back the wood I bought. A man suggested to use the wood that is used in subwoofer boxes. The box looks GREAT but when my artist records, I can barely hear her on the mic. But If im on the outside talking, the mic(which is in the box) picks me up better than my artist who is in the box. That is weird! So now Im wondering if the wood wasnt a good selection. I haven’t bought the acoustic yet but the problem isnt the echo. It seems as if the box already drowning her sound out without the acoustic. Can someone please please give me some tips?! My dad did so good on the box and I would **** the problem to be the wood.

I am looking to get a small wood burner to install into a customised campervan, however most of the ones I have seen so far are too large and kick out way more heat than necessary.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Many thanks,
Martin.

clean wood floors

s0ul_exp0sed asked:


A friend of mine had a huuuuuge cherry tree that was removed from his property due to its proximity with power lines.

There are some great straight sections that I was thinking about cutting up with a chain saw and them taking them to the local saw mill.

After this wood leaves the saw mill, how long will it take for the moisture level to fall to an appropiate level to use the wood for furniture?

I just bought a kitchen table, four chairs, and a bench, all unfinished. I have never stained unfinished wood before. The type of wood is parawood. I’ve been told it is a “hard” wood and does not need any conditioning or pretreating before the stain is applied. Any tips or suggestions? TIA!

Tomsriv asked:


I just built a wood shed and I am trying to decide what paint to use that will protect it the best from water and termites. I’m thinking a stain would be better because it penetrates the wood. But a regular primer/paint seems like it would form more of a barrier between the wood and the elements. What do you think?

We live in SW MO & the rain has turned to sleet and ice, with snow coming after that. We live out of the city limits in wooded sub. We stand a good chance of losing power. I wanted to know how much wood do I need for one whole day?
I appreciate your response.
I have wood outside, I just wanted to make sure I have enough.
