Anyone else out there have a tough time surfing around at fww?

I'd say at least 50% of the time I cannot load a video or access a pdf. I'm a paying subscriber, if it means anything. And there's...

I think i have a good idea of what it is and how to execute it now.

i really appreciate all your help!

Hey everyone

I was hoping someone in here might help me finding the name of a particular type of joint I am interested in executing.

It seems relatively common in midcentury modern styled...

Thanks everyone for your input and ideas.

I know the risks of not having a guard and knife on the table and I prefer it this way (though I think I will try the MJ splitters) - but I appreciate the...

interesting thought, Frank.

Hey all...

I may still split them into manageable >6" width planks and rejoin to deal with cupping - but my...

Thanks howie - this is definitely a mixed bag of heart and sapwood - probably all newgrowth. I am going to coat the leg ends with epoxy as suggested in an earlier post, give the whole thing a few...

interesting thought. I was reading about how flitch-plating was less optimal these days due to the fact that its more cost effective to sandwich marine ply which gives a similar strength and costs...

really cool, thanks for the illustration and info Jerry. ill read up on flitch plating for sure.

one or two quick things... I guess that I could conceal it by removing .25 with a couple passes...

So, I was thinking on Jerry's idea of sandwiching some steel plate between the long apron members to add rigidity and reduce the need for central stretchers.

I wasnt sure how I could cleanly put a...

Thanks Jerry.

I have simplified the cross members down to 5. I wouldnt have thought to sandwich steel between the apron halves, though it makes a lot of sense. I just dont know much about metal...

How do you mean? in the sketchup model? as in, flipped normals?

im not sure why its doing that different color.. but if thats what you mean, i promise I wont cut my tenons inside out
