  2. Dining Room Cabinets

    My dining room had some unusable space so my wife and I agreed it would be nice to have some cabinets there. We decided on paint grade so that the cabinets would be easy on the eyes but not end up dominating the room. Each cabinet is about 6' wide by 9' tall. The materials are poplar and...
  3. Bed For My Son

    My son, who is a big Flyers fan, has been playing ice hockey since he was four. Prior to that he was roller blading around the house. He started at 2 1/2. That's his obsession. He just turned fourteen, stands 6' tall, weighs 210 pounds. He's certain he'll play for the Flyers. So when he was 10...

    We did a pair of his and hers bathroom vanities with a beautiful veneer. Called Cinnamon Laurel Burl, it is a great looking wood. We got it from Certainly Woods, out of New York. The designs came from Tommi at K Gallery Art and Design. Her work is a joy to build, due to the great looking...

    I found myself on this site researching douglas fir and how to stain it. I found the awesome video by gizmodyne and was totally stoked! But I still have a couple of questions: 1) I am staining brand new garage doors - what are the chances of the grades being different betweem baseboards and...
  9. Wood & Lumber
    I'm starting a couple of projects that use plywood. Wanted to use a better grade than what I find in big box stores. Discovered that there are many different grades.. Also, there are different names used for the same grade. After searching online, couldn't find a decent reference to the...
  10. Wood & Lumber
    I've ordered a cedar barrel sauna online from a company that claimed that the wood was 100% Grade A Red Cedar. The sauna kit just arrived, and as I was unpacking the staves I noticed that over 1/3 of them had significant defects that were patched with wood filler at the factory. Some of the...

  14. Wood & Lumber
    I want to build this pantry in my garage: It's kind of big (7' x 48" x 24"). I may be wrong but 3/4" plywood seems to be the best choice. I don't want to paint it, just a light finish. The question is what kind of plywood should I use? And where can I buy it? The plywood we can find at HD or...
