What did you do today?

For some of the stuff, like the child's rocking chair, I need 1 x 12s.

I thought it was for shelving. Know anyone with a biscuit joiner? You could glue up a panel with 1x4’s

I have a biscuit joiner and I have to say, it is one of the best tools I've ever purchased. It also allowed me to install "free floating" shelving inside my "Costco Closet".

Just for the seat?

Not a good day today. Started by putting my shirt on inside out. And it went downhill from there. Internet phone Dow work/call center wouldn’t connect. Network guy eventually figured lightning strike went through the cable modem, router, without damage, and took out the phones Ethernet port. Loving it!

Just for the seat?

Seat, back and sides.

It takes one 8' 1x12 and 1/2 of an 8' 2x6 to make a chair. The way prices are now that's $35 for wood, if I can find any. Plus screws and glue.

What about labor? How much for that? How long does it take to build?

Can you get 6 or 8 inch material and glue and clamp them?

Be a lot of extra work and no savings.

One by twos?

 

[Tom Picciani]

[Tom Picciani]

Going to use pocket holes and glue

Ordered some push blocks. Going to make Shaker panel doors for cabinets.

In the interest of the future for the basement floor, is epoxy paint considered a vapor barrier?

Dad joke

How do you tell a well-dressed man from a dog?
The man wears a suit, the dog only pants.

I would assume so, but you'd need to ask the company that makes what you are using. There are special epoxys designed just for that, but designed for top coats of fillers and self levelers. I think they bond with the moisture in the slab to do their magic.
