Got Wood?

If we had a "group" would thier be the ability to dissalow certain comments or indeed individual posters?

@dadpad,

I believe the answer to your question is yes. Have you seen RG's thread on that subject?

Well, you asked, so i told you . . . i don't really give a rat's ass what your reading habits are. I will be advised, however, in future, that it's a waste of my time to offer you any help.

@Setanta,

I should have added "but thanks for your help anyway". no disrespect was intended, but of course you can do as you wish.

@dadpad,

Does "restumping a house" mean that you are going to redo the foundation? Thats a really hard job cause we had to do some of that about 10 years ago. We put on a new addition and the old side needed the foundation to be shorn up so It could take the effects of an addition leaning against it like a butress. The design was like a big "ashelf of concrete" that qwent down about 8 feet to the deepest frostline

Could you repost this, Setanta? Your alligator tears have made the ink run and it's unreadable.

You may figure out that there is a ladder up to the platform in the play structure installed between the horse's back legs..

o call could cost me biggo, and for me that matters.

How could that be, Osso. You can buy a phone card to call pretty much any foreign country for like 6 cents a minute. N. A. continental calls are under 2 cents a minute.

Skype calls, computer to computer are free.

@JTT,

I use my long distance phone card to call local numbers when I need to use a phone booth. [There sure are a lot fewer of those these days]

It's cheaper than sticking in the 50 cents for each local call, not to mention way easier because I'm not fumbling for change.

But don't tell the phone companies!

@JTT,

But then, doh, I'd have to buy a phone card. I prefer email for this kind of situation. It turned out very well. ; )

Jesus, Osso, I hope a five dollar phone card isn't a killer item for you.

Don't forget to read that over, Setanta, every morning when you wake up and every night before you tuck yourself in. It isn't something we would wish you to forget.

@JTT,

Actually, it is. I talk like it isn't, re food and other matters of taste, sort of a disjuncture of my not long ago self and my present self.

However, back from the tangent, I'm still interested in woodworking.

I was chisleing channels into my new shelves this PM. Using a chisel, very sharpchisel, is a very satisfactory way to cut dadoes into wood. I first cut two channels on each side of the dado (I need a 3/4" dado to fit a 1x6 shelf), then I chiseled the dado channel . The sound of a very sharp chisel when pushed by hand is a nice cutting sound that only a sharp chisel can make.

Tools, there's a subject. I used to like using the plane I borrowed from my brother in law. Very cool, hefty.
I see here, there are finer planes - polishing planes:

I also liked his sawhorses, which I just about used to death working on my garage studio after we used them for our cottage remodel.
I still have his tool carry thing. Snort, it's in my living room (aka studio), nestled right by the dining room table.
I'll have to take a photo.

@ossobuco,

planes require care and sharpening of the blade.Ive never hd patience with hnd plnes so I got an electric planer . I do have a thumb plane that I always use to round off edges on boards that I use for furniture. It keeps the pain down when you whack into an edge of a table in the middle of the night
