What Is S-P-F LUMBER? (S-P-F Vs. SYP…What’s The Difference?? Lumber Markings/Softwood Varieties)

Filed under: Woodworking — Tags: — Nicholas @ 02:00

The Honest Carpenter
Published 21 Mar 2021

Much of the lumber you see in stores will be stamped with the letters S-P-F. But what do these letters mean? For that matter, what is SYP and D-FIR? This short video from The Honest Carpenter will explain a few of the most common lumber markings in North America!

S-P-F stands for SPRUCE-PINE-FIR.

These are the three most common softwood lumber varieties in North America. Each wood technically represents a GENUS with several prominent SPECIES below it (like genus Spruce/species White Spruce).

These three lumbers are grouped together in an acronym because they all have very similar qualities, and they are all very good lumber to build homes with!

Also, because spruce, pine and fir are sourced so ubiquitously, and shipped to so many various areas, it’s easier for lumber mills to group them together like this, rather than constantly differentiate them.

S-P-F woods are also commonly called WHITEWOODS, because of their pale color. They tend to have small, regular knot holes, and feel relatively light and airy.

A strong competitor to S-P-F woods is SOUTHERN YELLOW PINE. This yellowish lumber tends to be heavier, and can carry loads across wider spans.

Southern Yellow Pine (or SYP) is also a great wood for making pressure-treated lumber.

Most of our S-P-F lumber comes from Canada (80%).

Douglas Fir (D FIR) is also very popular, and comes out of the Pacific Northwest. It is very strong, resistant to warping, and has a pleasant, almost cedar-like appearance. It is used a lot for timber-framing projects.

Simple things are often hidden in the age of mass information. I put this simple explanation and demonstration together to show you how our fears and doubts are all too often unfounded.

With a little understanding of what’s really happening beneath the plane sole, we can restore methods of working into our daily lives working wood and the result will be new levels of confidence.

Rex Krueger on the real starter kit for hand tool woodworking

Filed under: Books, Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 05:00

I just got Rex’s new book the other day and I meant to put up a post about it, but I forgot, so I’m borrowing the introduction from his most recent Fabrication First newsletter to rectify my error:

There’s a kind of video on YouTube. There are dozens of versions. Each one promises that you can “Get Started Woodworking for Less Than $1000!” or the title proclaims: “Start Woodworking: 5 Tools You NEED.”

I hate these videos.

For a second, let’s ignore the fact that $1000 is a fantastic sum of money. Let’s ignore the fact that hardly anyone can cough up that much cash to just get started on a hobby. Instead, let’s focus on the fact that none of the tools in these videos are necessary.

None of them.

Most of these videos focus on power saws. They tell you that a table saw and a miter saw are essential. They might cover alternatives like a track saw or inexpensive circular saw, but none of them tell you that you don’t need ANY electric saws to get started. You also don’t need a cordless drill, a router, a drill press, or an electric lathe. All of these tools are expensive and many of them are dangerous. They all produce dust that you really don’t want to breathe and they take up a lot of space. The idea that you need these things just to get started is absurd.

Of course, this is a lot of big talk from me. If I don’t think you need to buy all the plug-in tools, if I think it’s crazy to ask people to spend that much money, then I better have an alternative. I better have an effective, inexpensive and safer way to get started. And it turns out, I do. And I just wrote a whole book about it.

The book is based on a simple idea: take a person with no tools and no woodworking experience and get them learning the craft as quickly, safely, and cheaply as possible. By the end of the book, even a raw beginner should be making real, useful projects. If it sounds crazy, it shouldn’t. It’s completely possible.

What’s the Difference between Crosscut and Ripcut Saws? | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 5 Mar 2021

To understand the difference between ripcut and crosscut saws, you must look at the way the teeth are shaped.

There are two types of sawtooth, chisel point as in rip-cut and pinnacle or pyramid point which are three-sided culminating into a sharp point. With the ripcut saw, it’s the chisel edges to each of the teeth that slice along the long grain. The crosscut saw relies on both the sharp point and then the side bevel to the front and back of each tooth. I think that this video will help you to see the difference!

When to use Bevel up or Bevel Down with a Chisel | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 23 Feb 2021

Bevel up or bevel down chisel work? This question comes up often because for some reason, mainly from school woodworking, kids are taught to remove waste from a housing dado, recess, or other using only the bevel down. In reality, however, we need to be ready to use both or one or the other at different times. I hope that this video will help to show alternative ways and also show just how very versatile the chisel is for various applications.
