King Size Raised Panel Red Oak Bed

The wood came from an old tree in my neighbor's yard. It was well worth the time it took to mill and dry the lumber.

Chainmill Sharpening - Score one HFT

Good notes on the reason for the angle of the teeth - makes sense to me. Chainmilling is for sure a dirty and loud alternative, but then again I can't afford a big mill and often the sawlogs are located in out of the way places where hauling it out wouln't be an option. The videos on the net...

Chainmill Sharpening - Score one HFT

When my chains were new I was grinding them at 30 degrees - factory setting. But now I have them at 0 degrees. The key is to use skip or semi-skip chain. Regular chain will work just fine, but it tends to bog the saw down quickly and eventually burn out the motor under the additional heat and...

Chainmill Sharpening - Score one HFT

When my chains were new I ground them with a roundfile, but since getting the HFT sharpener I changed over to a 0-degree chisel-tooth. It moves faster than I can ever remember.

Chainmill Sharpening - Score one HFT

:thumbs_upFor years now I've been milling my own lumber but have been hand sharpening my blades. My rig is a Stihl 044 with a 30 inch bar using semi-skip chain on a Granberg mill.... that adds up to 105 teeth on a blade. I had done some in depth reading recently to find out why I wasnt able...

FINALLY finished the bed.

This is a great piece of work - many different skills orchestrated to make a masterpiece. I'm curious about how you created your signature, is it burned in, stamped, free-handed? David

Walnuts!

Not sure if you have plans for cabinets yet, but I opted to save some time and bought a bunch from Habitat for Humanity's ReStore shop. I ended up with Pickled Oak cabinets and matching shelves/doors for $500. All it needed was a 3/4 MDF on top with a couple coats of Urethane.

Lots of nice wood available up here including Red Oak, Buckeye, Maple of all varieties, Black Walnut, something they call RedBud (not like the ornamental), and of course, Osage Orange.

Roadside Treasure

So the LOML waits until almost midnight the other night to tell me that she saw an interesting looking pile of wood on the way home that had a sign saying "Free" next to it. Being your average wood-guy, I had to get into the van and investigate. By the time I got there, only two pieces...
