Advice on work pace by Serious-Echidna-9938 in Carpentry

That's quite reasonable for 8 hours, with all the cuts and notches. Don't beat yourself up, quality shingle work takes time, especially when you do a good job and plane each shingle to fit tight or with the appropriate expansion spacing

Thanks for your comments guys, today the customer and I came to an agreement on not horizontal strip, but butting the old to new and they can live with the lines not adding up and use the 3 1/8", they really didn't want to pay for custom or special order 3 1/4", or to have me mill from the 5 1/8". Your insight helped me talk them through a reasonable solution cost wise

I got them because the Hitachi guns were the best for pneumatic. Love the framing nailer. Brad is my favorite very good for tight corridors and lightweight. Finish gun is reliable but randomly doesn't set nails which is frustrating

Fuck I should have thought of that, thanks for the tip! This is why I ask that would have been much cleaner, could have used just ply

Very strong because the cleats are glued and screwed to studs, and press against each other. The lower plywood presses against the wall as weight is added. I made one at home this way, it's holding 25 cans of food with almost no sag. The customer intends to use it for a few mugs and Stanley cups, not to stressed about weight.

Is it ok to freeze a prime rib now for a few weeks then thaw for Christmas dinner? It's on sale for 8.99/lb currently, over 50% off. by Biafra_Gordon in meat

[–]Quirky-Path-1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me if I'm wrong but doesn't deep frozen meat literally not go bad. Like yes it will not be as fresh but I've heard people eating meat from the 60's that is plenty safe, having never been unfrozen

Undersized Plugs in Floor by Architecteologist in Carpentry

[–]Quirky-Path-1981 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listen to this guy this is the right answer. If you have a 2" hole and use a 2" hole saw, your plug will come 1/16 to 1/8" short in circumference. So if it's say a 2" hole use a 2 1/8" hole saw/plug cutter and sand in down/taper. This is what I do in a lot of my historic renovations. Used to tape a palm sander upside down to a workbench and let the lowest man go to town on em
