ShopNotes magazine had a few over the years. I can't find the one I was thinking of, but Vol 9 issue 53 is close.

  PLow plane upgrade during free shipping

Yes. I read a post about it somewhere. Someone called LV, and they confirmed that upgrading now would indeed save the cost of shipping 1 way.

  Still use cedar for painted outdoor furniture?

Hi,

I'm making some Adirondack chairs for the patio this week.

Plan is to paint them for a few reasons.

I had planned to use cedar, but as they'll be painted is that really necessary? Could less expensive pine be used instead, or is cedar still superior and of benefit over painted pine?

Thanks, Mike




I've been using pine (mostly scraps or what I can find) for a while and have had no problems with them on the patio under a roof, but they still get wet during a windy rain.
Cedar wasn't strong enough for me.
I water down latex paint and stain the wood, then apply 3 coats of poly. I use titebond II and deck screws.

I did just make one to sit under a tree in the back and it has been holding up fine. I saved an old tire, cut the rubber off to fit under the legs to keep the wood off of the ground. It makes a good non-skid and forever footing and is about 3/8" thick.

Be sure and sand and seal the ends of the boards well.

If it will sit outside permanently and you get a lot of rain and want it to last a long long time, cedar (painted if you like or treated once in a while with a seal) or redwood would be good.

I had one, like you described, a few years ago - sold it to Gregory of Sherwood Forest. Maybe he'll chime in here and post a picture.

One piece rolling gate would be my choice. As in rolls along the fence not hinged.

I've done shorter strips 1/8" thick cold.
Titebond between the layers, clamped to a form.
I've done it with walnut, I have no idea how cypress would behave.

  Replacing a Unisaw with a SawStop?
Posted by: law_kid - 04-17-2016, 01:08 PM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (13)

I'd like to update my old uni for a new uni. But seriously I think the only advantage saw to saw is the skin sensor. I heard a story just last week, about a guy who switched to sawstop, and sold his uni to his inexperienced neighbor, who proceeded to cut off two fingers the first week he had it.
