| 12:43 am | Making Ready Lumber From Rough Cut To Project Prepared If you don't want to spend too much on lumber it is best to buy them while it is still green and just been cut by a sawmill. But by buying it this way, you cannot use the lumber for your projects for quite a while. I love using products that I personally made myself but if you have a lot of money to spend and you are in a hurry you can just purchase the lumbers you need in any home improvement shops. Once you decide what projects you are going to attempt, and what species you plan to use, you can begin the process. The first thing you need to do is procure the materials. This is a matter of locating a local sawmill and asking if they have any lumber of the species and quality you need. Chances are that they will have a pile lying around somewhere that you can sort through and take your pick of the boards. Getting a bit oversized lumber is advisable if you are picking the green lumber because it will shrink when dried.Since the prices of their prices are already very low asking for discount is not really necessary and if you've been a repeat customer I am sure they will give you a better deal on your next visit For a few nice useful information on woodworking plans why don't you try visiting the webpage. After you get your lumber home, you'll need to decide on how you will dry it. Air drying is on of the ways to dry you green lumber this is done by piling your boards directly under the sun but protected from the rain For each 1" thick lumber , it will take you a year to dry so if you have 2" thick it will take 2 years 3" 3 years and so on. The moisture content of the lumber after it was air dried is 12% - 18% still wet to use but you can now bring it inside your workshop for the rest of the air drying process.The ideal RH of your shop should b 50% for the lumber to dry down to 8% moisture and for you to be able to monitor the humidity you can purchase the rmometer/hygrometer from radio shack that will cost you around $40 The other method of drying is to build a solar kiln. Plans for solar kilns can be found on the internet. These kilns can be built for only a couple hundred dollars. You can place your green lumber inside the kiln to begin drying. It usually takes 1-2 months for the lumber to dry down to 6-8% moisture and be ready for use. But sometimes the location and temperature matters.. As soon as the lumber is all dried up you can now make it ready for your project. The very first thing you want to do is joint one area of the plank. You can do this by hand with a hand plane or perhaps the uncomplicated approach by using a jointer. It makes things a lot easier if you cut the board down to a length close to your final needed length. After you have one face flat you then run the board through a thickness planner. This will make the board parallel to the flat face. As soon as you plane the panel into the final dimension, afterwards you joint one edge either by hand or by using a jointer. With the board flat, planed to the final thickness you are ready to rip the board to your final width. You can have this done by making use of saw to cut the board. Make sure that you are able to set the edge guide by using the jointed edge for reference. You're now almost ready to have a board for your project. You're done, and you saved tons of money by processing the rough boards yourself. Current Mood: impressed |
