The making of a table

[RivennHewn]

Puget/Yarz,

No steam iron needed this time.

Moisture content was single digit. Very thirsty.

I’ll check it in a few days, giving it time to stabilize before I finish sand it.

Thanks

8/4 x 12” x 18’

Spar grade, old growth, clear, vertical grain, Sitka Spruce.

The most expensive board I’ve ever purchased (personal use).

 

[RivennHewn]

A little taste

 

[Jayman17]

I'll bet that was some serious coin! .

So where did you find the board o’gold?

 

[RivennHewn]

I went through Specialty Forest Products.

http://specialtyforest.com/

About 1/3 less than everything else I found.

Edensaw only had 6” wide material.

I ordered a 10” wide board, but got a 12” wide one.

I got 6 BF free!

I paid for 30 BF at $10/Ft

 

[PugetDude]

Great deal!

 

[RivennHewn]

Great deal!

I’m pretty happy with the deal I got.

Now, I’m just scared to take a saw to it

New project, new wood, newly sharpened carbide.

Save every single piece of that board.

No waste here

Shifted focus onto de-chrome’n some boat hardware.

Not sure if it’ll work, it’s vintage chrome.

Any other ideas to remove chrome?

I’m trying to not use grinders or sanders, don’t want to damage the brass underneath.

You can remove the chrome layer in about 2 to 3 minutes submerged in muriatic acid, however the nickel underneath takes a cyanide based chemical to remove. I have had some success removing the nickle by soda blasting.

Nope and I am intrigued, those barbs on the corners look wicked.

Looks like you made a trip to Bellingham?

No, I bought it used.

Now I need to wire in a new outlet for it.

Takes 220 single phase power coming in, but the motor is 3 phase.

Has an inverter built in.

 

[Jayman17]

Riv, I like that bandsaw you bought. Is that an 18" saw? That cherry picker sure is handy for the big stuff. I have a Grizzly cabinet saw and really like it.

Jay,
It’s a 13.5” saw. If I need to resaw anything bigger, I always have friends with bigger machines.

Grizzly is kinda like harbor freight in that they have some stuff that’s worth buying, and some that isn’t. As always, buyer beware

Nice bandsaw. I picked this one up last week off of FB Marketplace. Had to drive 5 hours each way. Florida is bigger than I thought.

And then I found a nice jointer.

You’re setting up shop!

A couple nice additions.

Post up some pics as you get set up.

Anticipating the shop. Already running into county issues.

TF, those are a couple nice machines for your future shop? I need to check on your thread it's been awhile.

Riv, yeah I agree Grizzly has some items you want to avoid.

[RivennHewn]

Baby step forward.

I cut the rotted bow block out, and found more rot

Chiseled out the ****, a fitted a nice Dutchman into place.

 

[RivennHewn]

Stayed up late, and put this together for the bandsaw.

All out of parts from my shed.

$0 invested!
