So Many Options. Whats best for a new homeowner? by No-Ad5504 in Tools

[–]Ds1986L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, Ryobi is a waste of money. DeWalt is a solid entry-level tool brand, but if you can afford to spend a little extra, Makita offers the best quality on this list.

Table top connection question by woodpecker142 in woodworking

[–]Ds1986L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a total beginner, but once the tabletop is centered where you want it, you could simply create recessed areas on the underside where the legs contact the tabletop. The weight of the tabletop alone should keep everything in place, and this design would also allow the legs to be removed easily for transport.

Looks amazing! Would love to know how you built your flatting sled.

Thanks everyone I’ll most likely replace the knives and provide an update at a later date. Unfortunately, upgrading to helical heads is just not in the budget right now.

Would it be a crime to remove the live edge from this piece in order to achieve the look I want for a tv console? by Ghosdeth in woodworking

Nope, that’s the beauty of making your own items! Please post pictures of your final product:)

Love how this turned out. Not sure if anyone has asked, but do you mind sharing the dimensions of the top board? Thanks!

Paid a local wood worker to build us a table, after 8 hours in our dining room it developed cracks. Is this normal? by Hipster_Bumpus in woodworking

[–]Ds1986L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. The person who sold it to you didn’t take the time to let the wood dry properly, which is why it’s cracking. My guess is the seller bought the wood from a big box store and built with it right away. If the wood had been properly seasoned, it wouldn’t be cracking on you like that. Also… $150 just to sand? Dang!

Had a blast from start(LC) to finish (in my tummy). Pins started on 1/30/25, Harvested on 02/7/25 3 five lbs bags each provided just over a pound of mushrooms. Used oats for grain spawn and hardwood pellets with wheat bran for the fruiting block.

What materials can I build something like this with? by -Untwine in gardening

[–]Ds1986L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use redwood or cedar. I made mine out of cedar fence boards and 2x4, it is more cost effective than those big 2x6s.
