I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzfaq.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

Awesome work! Although, the way you make some of those table saw cuts should keep you up at night. Sure it's technically a rip cut when the board is on its end, but you can use a crosscut sled to keep kickback from occurring instead of standing on the wrong side of the table and hoping for a good outcome. Really they take like 10mins to make. Be safe!

Last summer the rr tracks were refurbished in my area. They laid out new sleepers for quite a few miles several months prior. This was along the walking and bike path. The creosote sweltering in the summer heat was overwhelming. You literally could not walk there all summer. We should check back in a couple of years and see if any of these people have taken ill from inhaling all that saw dust.

@timothygeiger8271 Жыл бұрын

You do realize that railroad ties just sitting there doesn't have saw dust? How would the creosote be worse than when the rr ties were being used? I've been around railroads, railroad ties, & I've used fence posts treated with creosote on the farm for my entire life. The only thing I've gotten from RR ties & fence posts soaked with creosote in 50+ years is creosote getting all over clothing & it doesn't wash out!! Around where i live we use old RR ties for landscaping all the time, never have had any issues, .& we use several ties.

The pressure must have been very low when they treated them. The ties from the treating plant nearby are treated all the way through. The pressure is high enough in the chamber to absorb around 8 gallons per 7x9x8.5 cross tie. That's part of the reason they are so heavy.

@greggminkoff6733 Жыл бұрын

When these ties were produced, there was no such thing as pressure treating. The timber was kiln-dried first and then soaked in a creosote cocktail for preservation.

@jaclm 3 ай бұрын

"Ties" and "sleepers" are interchangeable words, with the former being used mostly in the Americas and the latter in the rest of the world. In reality though, what he's using in the video are bridge timbers, and yes, they're much larger than standard ties/sleepers. Another giveaway is the dap on the underside where the timber sits on the bridge girders, regular ties don't have this.

I was trying to explain that railroad ties usually contain creosote and other carcinogens. I would never allow furniture recycled from railroad ties in my home. The worker is really endangering his health because he was not using a respirator and cutting, sanding, planning makes a lot of saw dust. But in the case of railroad ties, creosote and other carcinogens are released. He also did not appear to have protective eyewear and at times handled the ties with his bare hands. Once again creosote can irritate the skin.

I never ever would use wood the wood from train tracks for something, that would be used indoors. My Granddad got his hands on some used jumpers somewhen in the 1960s or 1970s. He made the fenceposts of his compost yard from them. In the 2000's, when my Dad and I reshaped that yard, those jumpers still were in a good shape. Never painted by one of the family. 30+ years in northern german weather and climate...
