Any woodworkers?

LOL, Hell, a length of chair rail likely wouldn't cost as much as the closet rod and labor time.

 

Times are hard, got to use whatchew got

 

Thank you!!! Lol

 

Times are always hard then I guess. I gotta macgyver something almost daily. I enjoy the challenge though

 

How do you think he became a millionaire.

 

The guy I'm working for is not the homeowner. Hes a millionaire because oil lol.

 

Cool idea. Throw a few coats of poly on them so the sloppy bar patrons don't ruin them.

 

Those look like dominoes to me, not dice. None the less, they look good!

 

No, I would regular woodworking screws. Flat head, square drive. Pre-drilling a small pilot hole is a good idea as well.

 

thats what i was going to say...some got that way by being cheap asses...

 

I bought this a few months ago, it's a 50 year anniversary Lagler (Hummel) belt sander (with led light).
The guy that bought my old machine (in the top pic) couldn't believe that it was 14 years old - cuz most sanders get totally abused.

 

nice , my flooring guy has the same one as your older model

 

Used they usually go for $2K to $2,500, I got $4K for mine.
The guy that bought said he was planning on low balling me, but couldn't believe how clean it was so he didn't hesitate to pay full asking price.
I also have a couple of vintage Lagler (Randmeister) edge sanders (that they quit making about 25 years ago),
one that I restored and another one that I scored from Canada in near mint condition.

 

This is the Randmeister that I scored from Canada a couple of years ago.
They started making these in 1974 and quit making them in the early 80's, so this could be nearly 40 years old.
I sent a pic to the U.S. distributer in Colorado and they were blown away, they put it up on their facebook page..

 

I have an old edge sander like that I got from my grandfather who was a general contractor , I'll have to see if I can find it and get a pic

 

The only thing MDF is good for is concrete forms!


I build boxes with plywood. For the box, I use rabbets, glue and screws. For the backs, dado and staples (maybe screws at top if wall mounting). I prefer star head screws, like GRK. I pretty much hate flat head, philips and square heads. Why don't they make star head sheet rock screws, dammit!

 

I concur. Makes shelves very flexible. And Easy.

 

Correcto, I haz teh dumb. But, I got all of them drilled, added a radius to the corners, and rounded the edges. Staining them was a total pain, because the bar owner wants TCU purple in the dimples.

 

I would have wrapped those things up in moving blankets! And charged extra for whatever TCU purple is!

 

What species of wood ?
