It is good to see you use the scrap material Matt. I also watch another channel where all his 'rubbish' is stacked up on a burn pile and then burnt. I am sure there are some people who would appreciate picking up unusable wood for their wood heaters.

Another great video, Matt. I watched to the end and appreciate all the work AND all the editing. These videos don't produce themselves. But I'm probably going to have the only negative comment on this page: I always thought that it was more important TO produce beautiful items on your workbench, rather than that the items were produced ON a beautiful workbench. A well-built workbench is essential to good woodworking. Yes. But so are chisels and hammers and saws. And I've never refused to use a sharp chisel because the handle was not made of a rare, imported hardwood. But back to the positive. Great video, and I learned a lot. Thanks again, Matt.

Easier than you might think. The two top slabs are lag bolted to the base so they come off easily, about 100 lbs each. Then the base is comparable to something like a dining table.

Awesome! When I was in woodshop I was told that a lumberyard took 8 years and a kiln took only 6 years. The last time I did construction, the wood was so green that when I drove in a nail, sap oozed out around the nail. In the electronics industry, there have also been amazing improvements since 1920. Unfortunately, manufacturers refuse to build anything designed after 1988.

I suppose the key question regarding the drying process is does it stay flat over time? Obviously a major problem with already twisted/strained lumber is that it will go all over the place with annual moisture cycles.

@randomman057 2 жыл бұрын

I could be wrong, but I believe the wood stain and sealers act as a barrier that prevents the wood from absorbing moisture, which is why they mentioned letting the wood sit after drying is pointless.

Depends on the volume of your business. A machine like this one can pretty comfortably dry 50k bf of 4/4 in a year. Closer to 70k if you push it and keep it running continuously. With a value add of $1-2/bf; payback is 18-24 months
