I'm working on a house that has vertical wood siding, stained, and has loads of holes from birds pecking at it. I believe its cedar and the birds must be going after bugs. Any suggestions on what to use to fill these that will stain to match the rest of the house. I have used stainable wood...

Would anyone have an idea what happened here. I have a small, electric heater in my granddaughters room. Lowes special, looks like a small fireplace. I have it plugged in to a gfi outlet. Wednesday night the gfi tripped, I reset it and used it last night. It went off again during the night but...

I just finished building a table from an old barn door. This one will be used outside on a open deck. I put 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of exterior latex paint on it. Question, is there anything I can put on the paint to help it hold up to the weather or is it best just to leave it with just...

Is there such a thing as 5/4 pressure treat lumber? I need some for a outside project and it needs to be 5/4 x 8 but I cant seem to find anything like that in 5/4. I thought I could use pressure treated decking but can only find it 5/4 x 6 which is to small. It will be used to make garden harps...

I am building a table from an old door. The door is being used as the top and has holes from old square nails and assorted nicks and divits that we would like to keep showing. If I use a high build poly finish will this fill these spots and give me a smooth top that will be easy to clean? My...

I'm thinking of taking a ride to Grizzly in Muncy Pa. after the holidays. I am thinking of buying a G9976 Mortiser and a G0459P 12" Drum Sander.

Question, I build a lot of exterior storm windows for historic houses. Up until now I have always been asked to use pine for the frames which seems to work well when primed and painted to match the old houses. Im now asked to build storm doors. I dont think pine is a good choice. What would you...
