wdwerker Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I wouldn't go any higher than 5 1/2" but that height baseboards looks fine with a 8' ceiling. With a chance of them getting wet in the future I would pass on MDF or fingerjointed boards. Poplar and pine would be fair choices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 They've improved our drainage considerably in the last 12 years, since we got water last. But I don't trut the 1000 year flood, thus the no real wood flooring and no mdf! Poplar and fir comes to mind with some type of build out. The height was my concern. Thanks bud!

Popular Post bleedinblue Posted September 18, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 My drum sander should ship this week. It'd sure be nice to get a day off to set it up. At least it will be paid for by all the overtime I've got this weekend alone! Yawwwwn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carcass is built and the casters are on, so it's close enough that the sander can be dropped in place. Still needs drawers and trim, but that can come later.

Is he hellbent, honery and as cantankerous as his cousin? Thanks guys. No we share a sense of humor and the sarcasm but he lacks the sharpness of tongue I tend to get caught with. I didn't realize that one was so old. Here's a newer one, and I promise it's the last one I'll link to. Thanks for checking him out. I admire him for following his dream...but there ain't much money in it unless you can break through. Kind of like woodworking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cliff Posted September 22, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 My first resaw. Took like 20 minutes. Board is 7.5" wide. I did blow the power once. Had to shut the a/c off. Wish I had a 3/4" blade on. Still it turned out pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want like 3 tpi for resawing. Aggressive. Needs to be able to clear all that waste or things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the stock blade that came with the saw, was it? What brand and tooth configuration are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right, I chose my blade based on a thread from here. I still got it bookmarked, it was the thread where you asked for bandsaw blade recommendations. Someone said Starrett, so I got one. I find the bandsaw stuff very confusing to be honest. Blade has barely been used so it shouldn't be dull. I've used the bandsaw maybe 5 times. I would say I was doing an inch every 10-15 seconds. The board was 49" Sometimes it was much harder and it went a lot slower. Then the power blew when I went too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
