Question for newbie
As you know I am a newbie. I have a table say, and just got a router
and table for Christmas. SO please for give my basic questions. I have someone that works at a wood flooring plant that got me some wood that were quality check pieces. The were dried in a kiln of the company. The ar erough sawn or seem to be. Can you tell me what they are and if they would be good for projects? They are varying widthe between 6 inches and 10 inches. They are all 1inch thick. I am guessing white oak but may be wrong. Here are pictures I took: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ashlee...bum?.dir=/7d65 I guess I cant do much with them because of being rough sawn. I am very tempted to buy a small 12 inch planerr at Lowes. (Delta) I know it is probably not the best but all I can afford. Would really like a jointer too but can not afford both. I know they make a planer/jointer but the widest they seem to do is 6 inches. Not sure what I want to get into but have lots of things around the house I need. First thing I would like to make my mom and wife a project in a book I boght. It was a drawer that had a butcher block on top of it. the drawer held you knives. I'd like to finish it the same as my cabinets. (Can you tell me what type of wood my cabinets are?) There are also larger projects I would like to do like a bookshelf and an entertainment center and some cabinets for my garage. One last thing. I have bought some woodworking books and one of them said you can finish and true an edge of a board with a router and table. Is this true and could this be use dinstead of having to buy a jointer? Again, thanks for your help and advice! |
