I am starting the construction of my own kitchen cabinets. I have done it before using solid maple and maple ply with great success, but in a new book I am reading, the author highly recommends the purchase of a jointer. Now, I understand that the jointer makes a straight edge on the lumber, but if I am purchasing dried S3S lumber, does it matter? With 3 edges straight and surfaced, won’t my planer be sufficient to get good parallel edges? The wood is Paduak. I plan on doing a lot of edge jointing of the wood to make wider boards because Paduak is not commonly available as a veneer on plywood (where it is, it ends up being more expensive than solid wood). Any help is appreciated.
You might be able to make due with a router and a carbide straight blade if you have a good table and fence.

What are the prices of roofing in central new york per square with tear off and without .What are the prices of tearing of 123 layers of roofing .What does it cost to install new plywood.What does it cost to roof-over with and without materials?
That will depend on material and labor costs in your area. Also, it depends on the brand and quality (including warranty) of your roofing.
Builders here in the south say materials costs look like the stock market – up one day, down the next – unpredictable!
That said, you should be able to find more info on the following web page on roofing:

You might also check the branch page on asphalt shingles.
Hope this helps.
Any quality builders or contractors out there? What is your opinion of Energy Brace Sheathing vs. OSB or plywood? We discovered in 2006 that our home has no exterior plywood, it simply has "EBS" stapled up over the studs and then vinyl siding is nailed on to the house. Is this standard building industry practice? Years ago homes were built with exterior plywood (5/8 or 3/4" thick), then they went to OSB, now I see some homes being built with what is basically cardboard(??) which is 1/8" thick!!
Does this EBS need anyother layer on top of it like Tyvek or is that it? All that between us and the outside is 1/8" thick carboard, vunyl siding, a coupe inches of insulation and drywall?
Also, I noticed (since the siding was removed) that there is NO energy brace covering the wood plate (beam) that runs bewteen the 1st and 2nd floor. Is this acceptable?
It is called optimum value engineering. Instead of covering the outside of the house with plywood, you brace the walls with boards diagonally at 45 to 60 degrees. Then you cover the outside with rigid foam board. It is a less expensive way to build a house. Unless you are in a high wind region, the walls are more than strong enough if properly braced.
There are a number of other techniques that also go along with such building technique. I’ll bet you also have less wood and more insulation around the windows, and lower heating or cooling bills. It is essentially the greenest type of building.
Either that or you are the latest victim of construction fraud of some company that shouldn’t be in business. If you are concerned about your house falling apart, I suggest you hire a building inspector.
I pulled up what I thought was lanoleum, but was actually lanoleum on top of plywood. It revealed my hardwood floors, but had small nails tacked everywhere in the floors. There are probably over 4000 nails in the floor with heads that a normal hammers claw can barely grip. I’ve been pulling them out one by one, but is taking forever. Does anyone have a simplier solution, one less time consuming?
I am going to sand and refinish the hardwood floors, so I can’t drive them in. Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!!
Use a small pair of vise grips. Grip the head and roll the vise grip onto the top jaw. This will remove the nail. But Sorry, it’s gonna take time no matter what you do.
Don’t ‘pull’ the nail, they will snap off and then you have bigger problems. You have to use leverage to remove them.
I know it sounds cheezy but hear me out… I’ve seen that you can use an upgraded version of the plywood used for sub-flooring (I think it’s a premium white birch) and just stain and seal it for your actual floor. It’s cheap and leaves your options wide open for different flooring in the future because it could just become your sub-floor. So my question is, has anyone ever actually done this or seen this?
I actually did it in a client’s store. We stained it, sealed it with polyurethane and it looked beautiful stood up to the customer traffic and added a great ambience to a salsa store. White birch is a good choice. A couple of hints. One be sure that you lay it all out first, particularly if you want the grain all running the same way. Second, you have to match the edges so that the seams are exact and use wood glue to adhere the edges. Inspect each piece of plywood you intend to use for warpage because warped pieces won’t lie flat. Finally, if you are adhering the wood to cement, Locktite gives you the fastest grab.

Why is quarter inch plywood to risky.How bout honeycomb method with quarter inch plywood sandwiched together with honeycomb structure in between. Also where can i get CAD viewer on the net.Can i submit a design to an engineer to test.Is honeycomb a proven method.I would like to make a boat about 12 to 14 feet long for fishing in lakes and able to attach at least a 9.9 outboard motor.
Is fiberglass worth doing and how expensive is this technique.I thought I would use three coats of any kind of primer with three coats of marine paint or concrete (covering) paint on the hull or bottom of the boat.I was going to use brass screws also.I thought about using ribs and incorporate them into the seats to be out of the way.Also the seats would also substitute as storage boxes.I planned on making my own set of oars with three pieces of wood each.I also thought of attaching an upright seat to the bench type wooden seat I was going to install.
Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!
To start with, get plans. You can contact Small Boat Journal, Messing About in Boats or Wooden Boat for contacts for plans. We know someone who made a boat from luan, 24 feet by 4 feet, a schooner. It was a Phil Bolgers light schooner. It held a 4 man crew and won a race off Fairhaven, CT in the sharpie class. Dynamite Paysen is the name regarding stitch and glue. Use te West system over wood, not fiberglass. Most of Phil Bolgers boats can be built that way.

In this lesson, Phil calls Balton Lumber Co. Jim answers the phone and asks if he can help. Phil asks Jim if they sell plywood. Jim says yes. Phil says he wants 8 sheets of plywood. Jim says the minimum order is 10 sheets. Phil agrees to buy 10 sheets. Phil asks how much the freight (shipping) would cost to Miami Beach Port. Jim says he will call the freight company today and he will call Phil with a freight quote tomorrow.
