El Mero Mero posted:Hooray. Doing nothing is my favorite solution! Good idea on the paste wax - I think that will work great. Just to add to what others said: that was basically designed to split. To put it another way, the design did not allow for shrinkage/expansion of the wood as moisture changes, and that forced the wood to split apart. Either that or it was not an appropriate glue for this application. What I'm getting at is, even if you glued it up, as the wood re-hydrated it could buckle, or it could split again the next time it dries. So that's another vote for not trying to re-glue the wood.

That's almost a rule for woodworking stuff on the internet, especially the Instagram and Youtube variety. Visual appeal is what gets you the likes/views, and if you have to come up with an odd variety on a style of joint, so be it. Long term stability and sensibility of manufacture are not a point of consideration. Actual woodworkers aren't the target audience unless it's some sponsored doodad they're pushing.

It also seems reasonable to perform joinery that's a little more involved if it adds visual interest but that chair thing is hideous.

It looks like something from a parallel timeline where tusked tenons evolved very slightly differently. I've never seen someone use a jointer like that and I don't have one myself but seems... Like there's a better way. Especially if you're doing it 8 times in a row.

Finished (no pun intended) my project! First hand tool project and first ever piece of furniture.  It will eventually be a coffee bar in the kitchen, but for now I have to give the finish time to cure so it's a sofa table.

Can anyone share some photos and/or tips of light stain on high quality (Menards calls it "select") pine? I've seen way too many examples of stuff built out of dimensional lumber and then stained with the darkest stain imaginable and it just looks like absolute garbage. The select pine doesn't have the huge ugly knots that suck up all the stain like dimensional lumber, but it'd be nice to have some reassurance. I don't have the tools to be using anything but S4S wood right now, and not enough skill yet to try anything more expensive than fancy pine anyways.

I did the Steve Ramsey coffee table with it (at my Home Depot at least, the "select pine" is radiata pine from NZ) and put Minwax Golden Oak on it plus 7 or 8 coats of wipe-on poly. (The inside of the top is red oak plywood stained with dark walnut Watch Danish oil, and I'm very disappointed with how light it came out, but that's not relevant)  In its spot:  I need to get better at selecting wood for grain patterns. e: another example, from the same course:  Also Minwax golden oak, this one with water-based spar urethane. more falafel please fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Aug 4, 2022 |

Photos can be helpful for picking which stain(s) to buy, but always test your stains on scrap wood anyway. You don't know what the piece will really look like until you see it in its intended location.

I hate refinishing but sometimes the color of old 22" wide walnut boards makes it worth it: FISHMANPET posted:Can anyone share some photos and/or tips of light stain on high quality (Menards calls it "select") pine?

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I hate refinishing but sometimes the color of old 22" wide walnut boards makes it worth it: Nice walnut. You don't typically see boards like that. Iirc, the old timer that stained some place that the cabinets & trim had some softwood like yellow pine hit the woodwork with a sanding sealer first to better control that issue with soft and hard grain. That's typically used with solvent based stain/lacquer, so it may not work with an oil based finish.

I've been getting actual loving work done on my never-ending trellis project, which is now a never-ending wall-mounted pergola thingy project, and it's at that point now where the goal moves farther and farther away the more I do. For every one step I get done, two more pop up in their place and it is maddening.

Here are an art desk and toy box I made for my kids a few years back when I was at your stage of learning, using the HD "select" pine boards, finished in (I think) Minwax Ipswich Pine. Toy box panels are, of course, 1/4" plywood underlayment.   And for good measure, here's a stereo/TV cabinet I made using HD 1x "common" pine boards and the darkest stain imaginable to hide my shame from before I had skills and much idea of how anything was supposed to be done:

Another question. I'm going to try my hand at some baby stuff (toys, mobiles, etc) as a way to teach myself some basic woodworking. I've got some chunky pieces of scrap wood (ignore the plywood in the background) that came with our house when we got it, but I'm a bit worried about it for baby stuff because I don't know if it was pressure treated or otherwise made poisonous in one way or another. Is there any good way to tell without a label or knowing directly the source?

Short of sending sample bits off to a lab, the best I feel like you can do at home is guess, which is not something I would personally be comfortable doing. Almost certainly better to buy fresh lumber of known provenance for any projects where potential material safety is a concern and save the mystery chunks for shop furniture.

E: To be clear, I love the guy and think he's had a huge and positive influence on the woodworking world in the past decade or so, but I can't help but laugh.
