Thanks for the info Mikael, I will proceed with the housings as directed.
I have not yet started on the legs, but it was definitely something I was wondering about. I am glad to hear that two 2×4 laminated together works fine, as that was the best I could figure would work and still have the mortises running through the glue lines.
I have also had some epic tear out around knots using this lumber, even with a perfectly sharp iron. If the bigger chunks that are missing bother me or seem like they will catch and cause splinters I will just fill them in.6 February 2018 at 5:23 am #462916If my use of HD lumber has resulted in the apron being approximately 1/4″ thinner than the 1 5/8″ in Paul’s plans should I compensate in any way? If the housing for the legs is 5/8″ deep should there be a give and take to allow for a full inch of remaining depth left in the apron?
Working with this lumber has definitely been challenging, but I feel like I am learning a lot more than I would have buying perfect wood from a hardwood dealer.
Cheers! -
