Post: RE: Hallway Table Build
Thanks for sharing the project. Since the table was to be grey, why use your white oak? Wouldn’t any cheaper species have been okay?

Post: RE: Black locust?
For being such a hard wood, black locust grows tall very quickly. We heated with it for years. If you’ve never cut it before, you’ll think your chain saw is dull. It cannot be split by hand, and even...

While digging a hole to plant a bush, the shovel hit the 120V wire that runs from the house to the barn lights. The wire is not encased in PVC; just a bare wire about four inches deep in the sod. Th...

Just had our 30 x 40 metal garage foamed to make it suitable for wood shop. Very cold in northern Illinois. Very expensive, but no point stating the cost. You’d have to get a local quote.
