Hello creekers I have a local lumber store called Payless building supply in northern ca. I get a lot of discount lumber through them. I buy units of 2x6x24" for $80 comes out to 10 cents a piece.. I'm cutting them down, planing them and making all kinds of things with them. Now they have rough 2x6 redwood for .79 if you buy a unit. People are requesting I make them some outdoor furniture. I'd like to joint these boards together to make large tabletop. I've made planters with redwood in the past and used pocket holes with treated screws. Or I've attached the exterior planters with screws then covered the holes with a plug. For tables I'd like to do something different. I'd also like to joint Doug fir( 2x4`'s) look pretty good after you surface 4 sides. Can I get a biscuit jointer? Will titebond 3 work with redwood/cedar/Doug fir? Can I make a jig and use a plunge router and make my own mortise and ten on stile joint. Do you guys use a tenoning jig for table saw? If so where did you get it? Do you know of any books,articles or videos I could watch. I've got to make a Doug fir bench for somebody for their front porch. It won't be getting wet. I'll surface 4 Sides and I want to attach 3 surfaced 2x6'x4' together for the top. Thanks guys. I'm new here (first week) I've been blessed with your knowledge. I asked a ? About dust collection the other day and the information I got saved me a lot of money and headaches.
