5 Woods Better Than Pine

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

Woodworkers Source
Published on 15 Aug 2019

Hey woodworkers, I think you’re in for it now. We know your budget is tight when it comes to buying wood. Or when you’re new to woodworking, it’s not exactly easy to know which wood is right for your project. We totally get it. So let us help point you in the right direction with 5 hardwoods that we think you should check out.

#woodworking #lumber #woodworkingforbeginners

—
Visit us for hardwood lumber
https://www.woodworkerssource.com/

This information is more useful for beginning woodworkers in the US Southwest area, as the cost and availability of the various woods varies substantially from region to region. For example, alder, one of the “cheap” hardwoods recommended here is actually much more expensive in my area than cherry, hard or soft maple, red oak, and even African mahogany.

Are Wooden Hand Screw Clamps Worth Anything?

Published on 1 Aug 2019

The humble wooden Hand Screw Clamp is not just a screw clamp from the past but an extremely useful tool for the shop of today. Not only for holding work while gluing but also for holding small pieces at the power tools and for detail work at the shop bench.

If you’re buying lumber from the mill or the lumber yard, the wood usually has rough edges that need to be straightened. This can be a challenge for a woodworker who doesn’t have all the toys yet. Luckily, you can get PERFECT edges on the roughest board with just a jack plane and a common table-saw. It’s an easy technique and it helps you progress at a woodworker. Best of all, you can put off buying a bulky, noisy, expensive jointer.
