    moisture meters

    I'm thinking about getting a moisture meter and am looking for some insight from those who have and use them. My only reference is an old 2002 article from Fine Woodworking, and am not sure how relevent that is anymore (definitely not the pricing!). I rarely work with anything exotic, so info...

    SYP at the BORG; moisture content of <10??

    Can it be that all the dimensional SYP I bought recently at the BORG for my workbench project is between 4%-9.7% on MC or is my meter broken??? I was expecting a MC disaster with lumber from the BORG but if this is accurate, what a nice surprise!!

    Moisture meter at Klingspoor

    I saw this one and thought it was reasonably priced, but then noticed that the accuracy is only 2%. That would seem to be ok for firewood (as pictured), but maybe a little too high for furniture work? That said, I don't have a meter at all and I've been ok, so maybe I don't need one. It seemed...

    Moisture meters????

    I am looking to get a moisture meter. There are many that I look at all glassy eyed and drooling, but the reality is I can't spend $300 on a meter. So I am looking at the Lignomat Minis. They are priced in my budget ~$100-150 and seem to be good quality meters. I have my eye on the Lignomat E/D...
