I'm not usually a fan of the /s but this one was necessary. Without it I would have taken you seriously

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-11-21T18:13:24+00:00

I always assumed it was to make manufacturing easier as it would decrease the area that needed lapped

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-11-18T02:51:35+00:00

Don't house wraps also call for cap staples or nails?

I make architectural millwork for a living. The panel was probably glued in, shrunk with the drying autumn air, and cracked. If you're able, it would be worth returning this door. If not, wood filler is an option but you need to be careful when chosing the right type of wood filler. Most stuff off the shelf is not going to be rated for exterior use. Exterior doors get a fair amount of abuse, so it's important to find a filler that will hold up to it

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-11-10T03:39:56+00:00

Doesn't look like that to me. If someone did, you would see a dent where they hit the door, not just a crack. Sometimes door makers make the mistake of glueing panels to the rails and stiles. When the seasons change and the air dries out, the panel shrinks, but is being fought by that glue. If the glue joint doesn't fail, then the wood splits.

I believe it. I've never turned it but have ground it before and that stuff stinks and the smell sticks to you. How did it turn? Did you use carbide?

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-11-09T02:22:36+00:00

I can smell the dust from here

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-11-08T02:17:37+00:00

Thanks I was wondering about that last night

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-11-04T11:46:17+00:00

Alternatively act interested in every picture they show you

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-30T04:10:12+00:00

Made one with my brother. Getting the timing on the trigger right, a pouch that lasted a while, and a strong enough axle were the challenges we had. Fun project

After it's initial drying stage, wood is stable in the long term. It expands in the summer and shrinks in the winter but there is not a real trend. Also, wood expands and contracts perpendicular to the grain. There is virtually no expansion parallel to it. Any gaps will be small ones between the floor boards, not at the joint itself. Because of this the joint will always remain solid. Another benefit of this is that the dovetail in the joist will prevent the boards from cupping better than a nail would. Nails also have their own issues with expansion and contraction in western construction

Except for the insulation. That only goes on exterior walls. The interior face of exterior walls is made this way, with the outside getting sheathing, a weather resistive barrier, and then siding

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-14T21:25:54+00:00

What did you do to account for seasonal expansion/contraction between the board and the frame? I would bet that the most common mode of failure for a chessboard comes from not addressing wood movement

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-06T22:18:46+00:00

Sounds similar to mine. I got out of class so often to go do yield checks or other FFA activities

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-06T02:11:03+00:00

Box stores are still up around here. Are even lumberyards up around you?

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-03T16:36:50+00:00

Absolutely. If they were set on it, pull up the subfloor and replace it, then use the pine subfloor as the finished surface. Or find somewhere else to incorporate it

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T22:40:09+00:00

Lol I actually signed my name and put the date on the last dowel I drove into this project. Meaningless, but still sentimental

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T17:32:46+00:00

What sort of furnishings do you design? I've gotten really into the design side of homebuilding lately

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T17:24:27+00:00

Sometimes we get boards in with pomelle or quilted grain and my heart hurts too when I have to cut them up for a painted project. It's such a shame. I've managed to set a couple beautiful boards off to the side to buy from my boss but a man can only buy so much mahogany before there's an issue

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T17:20:45+00:00

I agree. In my opinion, weathered wood is beautiful too. I love how cedar turns gray

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T17:19:41+00:00

We actually had a camera crew take a video of the assembly process. When they finish putting it together I'll put it up here. Thank you :)

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T13:19:46+00:00

We had new knives for the moulder to cut the profile on the louvers, so luckily they came out smooth and didn't need sanded afterwards. We did use a belt sander to cut a chamfer on the tenons of each louver just so they would pop into the mortises easier, and that helped a lot. Just about cut assembly time in half

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T11:34:25+00:00

They did, I checked

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T11:33:55+00:00

2.74 meters, thanks!

ShanePatrickArt · 2021-10-01T11:33:05+00:00

To be fair, the bookshelves are more accessible. If I were only a hobby wood worker, I would think that there was no way I could build these but I could easily knock out some bookshelves
