Years ago, I started out building my furniture projects out of pinewood simply because it's always been the least expensive wood available. And, I always figured that, as I got better at wood working, and had more money to spend, I'd surely switch to using the finer and more expensive woods. But, after many many more years of building furniture, I still use pinewood today. Over the years, as I became more familiar with the characteristics of pinewood, I started to see how easy it is to make my pine furniture look absolutely gorgeous! It's also very easy to work with. But, one of my greatest pleasures is taking a stack of lowly construction lumber and turning it into a stunning piece of furniture for people to enjoy.

I love pine. Light, strong and easy to cut and the price is right. Although lately even pine has become pricey. It seems that there is always a ton of scrap laying around at the end of driveways. Hard to beat 'free'.

The more you work with pine, you'll see that you can actually build some very stunning furniture pieces with it. And, when it comes to staining, be sure to apply Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner before you apply the stain. It will stop the surface from blotching and it'll look beautiful.

Good video as always. Might have to try finishing before sticking stuff together and see how it goes. The dye is interesting as well but I will say I prefer using the conditioner first with stains not only to remove the blotchyness but it also give the base a nice golden tone so the stain looks much more rich and vibrant, wonder if it'll work with a dye as well... I have many new things to test now.

I heard that if you sprinkle a tiny amount of salt on one side of the glue up, it will keep them from slipping and the tiny amount of salt doesn't affect the bond of the glue. The glue is water based and melts the salt working quickly will make it work. Salt is gritty and provides enough resistance to keep the boards from easily slipping. I've also heard glue is only needed on one side of the joint so you could glue one side of all the boards and salt all of the boards at one time, stand them all up, then clamp all at once.

@Toyotajunkie 2 жыл бұрын

The biggest piece of advice I can give you... you must have a constant. Always use the same "start" point. And that spacer he had in the dowel jig gives you the "reveal" spacing. If you want the pieces to have an offset look that is necessary for your constant in that direction. Plan out your work, either drawings or in your head. Make sure your pieces are all uniform. Use tape or pencil to mark "sides" "top/bottom" etc. And always use the same reference point or "constant."

They are not only stronger but more stable, they resist warping and twisting as well. Guitar manufacturers have been doing this for decades. A good one to look up is Ibanez guitars, and just look as some pictures. They make the thinnest guitar necks in the world and they do a 7 ply usually of very hard but different woods. Guitarist take them from the desert to rainy Seattle sometimes even days apart and the neck woods don't move.

One factor with finishing before assembly is that you can lose the marks showing which joints go together. This applies more so when refurbishing older furniture which may be less than square. Before disassembly I mark the inside of the frame with a pattern of indentations using flat bladed and cross-head screwdrivers and a punch - these marks are not obscured by the finish.

Hi Colin ! This is Vivek from India. I am new into woodworking as a hobby lately. Your videos and information you share are quite inspiring in regards. What I want to know from you ... while trying my luck with Pine wood, I see secrection of oil from the wood especially at the knots while sawing and drilling. Though I got a couple of 2×1 's to try them out as trial, for making frames for a wall hanging chisel storage shelf. I am not sure if adhesives will have a great go thru this oily and sticky surface .... Kindly guide me on this please.....

@twauster 9 ай бұрын

If you have sap coming out of the knots, you can use knot sealer on them. It may ruin the surface around the knot for oil finishes, so it's probably better to use when you are painting the piece. If you have sap coming out of sap pockets in the wood itself - outside the knots - I have no idea how to fix this. I have a shed built with pine construction lumber, and it leaks sap in a couple of places even 10 years later ...

@jimkettle4487 3 жыл бұрын

When considering the strength of any pine joints and or fixings, the first thing to consider is that we typically use non-structural pine in joinery etc. Structural graded pine is a very different ball game, so it may be beneficial to consider structural pine and fixings in some situations, particularly workbenches and large storage racks. Here in Australia we have MGP10, 12 & 15 (Machine Graded Pine) for structural, house construction applications. MGP12 has a tension strength of 12MPa (1740psi), bending strength = 28MPa, compression strength = 24MPa, shear strength of 3.5MPa. For house construction in non-cyclonic areas, we can achieve up to 6kN (1348lb) tie-down capacity using a No14, Type 17 screw with 50mm (2”) penetration into the receiving member. Structural timber doesn’t generally have the visual appearance grading for what we want, but it’s well worth considering as a substrate.

When using pine a rather common problem is to have a sliver break off of the edge then the glue wells up during glue up and you have a bright yellow line to dig out or cover. With a dark finish you can get rid of his problem by gluing with dark wood. I really love it on walnut but it works with any brown stained wood.
