Designed and built a Japanese style freestanding screen to block my view of my son’s school backpack that lives by the front door. It is built mostly from construction lumber and bamboo skewers. It is held together with joinery only. No glue, no screws.

13 January 2016 at 3:51 am #133873I too think it turned out great, with timber being so expensive sometimes you have no alternative but to use construction lumber I just wonder how long will it be so cheap. I need to buy a heap of it to start building my new bench before the inevitable happens and the prices rise through the roof.
13 January 2016 at 2:50 pm #133882Thanks Derek, Salko & Matt. Salko, designing and building from construction grade lumber will be my focus for this year. Not everyone can source and/or afford traditional furniture timber. We will see how it goes. 😉
26 April 2016 at 7:23 am #136721Greg that is really cool looking and using the woods available from HD is what I use mostly myself. It is not the best but I am starting to like the contruction grade wood and it is in my price range. I don’t have any honey holes where I live so I either have to go to Woodcraft and pay an arm and leg for it or buy it and pay shipping costs. I really like to see the wood before I buy and that is one reason I am skeptical for buying unseen wood.

26 April 2016 at 2:44 pm #136729Thanks Steve. I am in the same boat as you as to lumber availability. So I finally decided that I would concentrate on using the materials that I can both easily obtain and afford. Sometimes that requires a slight construction change (joinery used or material thickness). Sometimes its a complete redesign from the ground up.
26 April 2016 at 4:31 pm #136734@ed all of the details are outlined over on my blog.
