That material will look good when finished. I brought home 4000 board feet of white pine 1x12 shiplap for re-siding my barn last month. It was my logs, custom milled by my neighbor. The cost of a mill and equipment to move large logs isn’t worth it to me… gotta keep in mind the excavator and tractor cost as well. I’ve been rebuilding my barn slowly, and most of the first floor is now complete with tongue and groove planks - again, my trees, neighbor milled. He’s been very reasonable on price. The satisfaction when I walk into the barn and see that floor is HUGE just knowing it was my trees and my labor to lay the floor. It makes me smile every time. And I didn’t even mill it!

I agree with all the other posters that the pride and pleasure derived from doing this yourself is priceless! I recently had a new hot water baseboard heating system installed in my home. Contractors had to cut 12x12" holes in basement ceiling drywall to access the connections for the upstairs units. I used door trim to frame out each cutout piece, glued the trim to the cutouts, then fastened the panels back to the ceiling. When my former contractor buddy saw the stack of panels, he said he would have just slapped the cutouts back up with some drywall mud and been done with it. Besides that being the typical contractor solution (get in and get out as quickly and cheaply as possible), he doesn't understand that SOME people enjoy creating things themselves. This is the reason I have a shop full of tools and equipment...I friggin love it! PS: If you are running a lunch box type planer at near max width capacity, I would say 1/64 is a good depth of cut. But that looks like a pretty heavy-duty machine. I'm sure you could do 1\32 or even 3\64 per pass, especially with soft wood like pine.
@rodcros Жыл бұрын
Years ago I made a lot of ship lap before I had a shaper for tongue and groove. Your jointer will do a good job on ship lap. All you have to do is think it out. Remove the guard. Set the cut for just over 1/2 the thickness of the material. Set the fence to allow a rabbet of about half the thickness of the board, more or less. Run it through. If it just doesn't work right, look carefully at the blades on the jointer. Does at least one of the knives protrude out far enough to allow the rabbet to clear the out table? Jointing 12' boards is a skill which comes with hours of practice, though cutting rabbets is a little easier than edging. Enjoy your project and buy a shaper with power feeder at first opportunity.
@chrisoaks4767 Жыл бұрын
If your planer is like mine, it should have two feed speeds. Lever that pushes in and out in right hand side. Running in low speed, that machine should handle 1/16” passes at full width on pine with no problem. Admire the effort regardless, just hoping to save you some time on the next go. A helical head (although expensive) is life changing as well!

I used 2" x 6" fir with 3/4" fir plywood to build them. I usually load 3K-5K board foot stacks on these two carts and then push them with the forklift into our shop, then grab from the sides (between the two carts) to upload them onto our rough lumber steel racks. These are located 70' further down inside my shop from the door. I was quite amused watching the one wheel of his tractor raising up off the ground several inches while he turned the machine. Obviously he was aware of it and in no danger - he knows his limits. Cool!

@@rodcros You're not really sincere are you? Technically we're talking woodworking machinery (not tools). Were he to try and sell his machinery he'd be lucky to get a 40% return on it. Used woodworking machines NEVER appreciate. I'm a guy with a 6,800 sq. ft. shop filled with over $1M worth of machinery. Probably 80% of them I purchased used - either direct from shops that no longer needed or wanted them, some from auctions and some from used machinery dealers. My savings on buying (good) used machines is about $300K over buying new. I'm in NJ - but if you follow Woodweb pricing is pretty much the same across all the states. I'm not speaking other countries, not sure of their resale value on machinery. At any rate - this small project (relatively speaking) did not contribute much to depreciation on his machines other than some edge wear on the tooling itself. He should include though the cost of his overhead (electric, insurance, property taxes, mortgage if he did finance the building, etc.). I offer those costs are still minimal given only a few days labor. BUT - the biggy here is his labor. You never sell yourself short. Every hour he spent working on those were hours he did not spend earning money. He mentioned he rationalized that he paid himself $47 per hour. No - he didn't pay himself a single penny. Had he purchased that material from HD, he would have saved over $1K, but I ask how much would he have earned in those same few days working for a client? I would hope a lot more than $47/hr since you always charge the client your overhead + profit, your materials + profit and your labor + profit. For a good tradesman that should be a bare minimum of $100 per billable hours to a client. Assuming 20% +/- overhead costs he should have earned himself at least $80 per hour. Regardless - as he stated - you cannot put a price on the pride and self-satisfaction of 'doing it yourself'. I would do (and have done) exactly what he did. He's a very good tradesman, he definitely has earned the right to be proud of his accomplishments and as all of us in the same camp - that's what we do - we 'do it ourselves'!
