Mines the middle one
From that pic it looks like someone just cleaned it haha
Oh and while I'm at it, if you see paint like this, don't eat it... it's 100% lead based
This @here is an example of true Identarian craftsmanship guys; the sort of expertise that made our ancestors famous from the Renaissance of the 1500s to the Golden Age of the 1900s. Well done @RevStench. You’re an example to all of us.
That looks fantastic!
I only fixed the broken glass in the windows and made them functional again. We hung that crown molding. But that staircase is in incredible shape, quality craftsmanship. I figured you would appreciate it, the only work I did was replace the old worn out treads and that's it. The home was built in the late 1890s and a family with 14 kids lived there until the youngest died about 10 years ago.
@RevStench I'm a dumbass, dude, I never even thought to scrape the wood off of sandpaper
@John O - haha bro, we all are. I used to go through so much sand paper until I started working for this old guy.
KNOWLEDGE
Pro tip, I know I already showed this when there was a teaching channel, but if you chip a small sliver of wood off of pretty anything, don't have any glue or a small twist drill for a pilot hole. No problem.
Blunt the tip of nail, basically turning it into a cut nail(the old style that look like rail road spikes). It's better to cut the wood fiber than it is to separate it.
Put a little epox on it and paint. Strip it first, but good as new. 2 nails is over kill but it's a top sash so it takes a beating.
Arched windows from the outside
<@&403278581272150016> Any links to plans for a wooden door awning/canopy? Not a Gable one, just a standard flat one with a slight downward angle. I've searched online extensively to no avail. If nothing's available I'll just figure it out, but I prefer to work off of plans. Thanks!
Nice I can make that work. Thanks!
Gf has been spending a lot of time on pintrest, so I decided to make this blanket ladder for her that she saw on there. Just need to sand it when the wood glue dries and then paint it
Good ole Pinterest.
@Envian sink those screws deep then take your wood glue and mix your sawdust with the glue and you can use that as a putty to cover your screws. Sand out and paint. It'll look like you didn't use any fasteners.
You should post more too.
I didn’t use any screws
I just drilled holes and glued in dowels
Yeah, I didn’t have much wood to work with for a while but now I’ve got quite a bit as you can see in the pic haha
That's cool man, that's what I like to see young guy's NOT gluing and screwing, you should post more haha. You ever use biscuits?
I haven’t needed to yet for any of the stuff I’ve made, but I would if the opportunity arises
Done sanding the glue and then I used bondo to fill in the cracks, so once that is dried I can sand one last time and paint
That's going to look good though
Yeah I hope so. My dad had bondo already and let me use it, so I didn’t have to buy any. It was a fun little project. I got a bunch of culled lumber recently for 90% off, but none of it is hard wood, so I’m just gonna make some signs and random things with it and try to sell them and make some money
Gonna be making some signs and some tables this weekend for my sisters graduation so hopefully I’ll have something worth posting
