Quick Guide: Essential Wood Drying for Woodworking‼️

Raw wood is full of moisture and will warp if not dried. To prevent cracks and distortion in your projects, dry wood thoroughly before use. It's simple, inexpensive, but requires patience! Here’s how: 1️⃣ Measure Moisture: Get a moisture meter. Aim for 6-7% moisture content for woodworking projects. 2️⃣ Prep & Stack: Lay 1"x2" "stickers" (approx. 40cm apart). Stack boards perpendicular to stickers, leaving 1" gaps between boards for airflow. Alternate stickers and boards. 3️⃣ Apply Pressure: Place heavy plywood on top of the stack and weigh it down (e.g., with concrete blocks) to prevent warping. Important: Never cover with a tarp! 4️⃣Wait & Monitor: Drying time is roughly 1 year per inch of board thickness. Continuously check with your moisture meter until ready. A properly dried piece of wood is the foundation of a stable, long-lasting woodworking project. Happy building! #WoodworkingTips #DIYWoodworking #WoodDrying #HomeProjects #woodworking #Carpentry #HomeDecor

The best part of DIY is fixing my own messes (and nobody knowing)

I always think the real secret sauce of any home renovation or woodworking project is that moment when you've had a little deviation from the plan, and you manage to fix it so flawlessly that literally no one ever knows it happened. I've been tackling my own house from the bathroom reno to my daughter's room, for years now. And trust me, every single job, no matter how perfect the final reveal, has its hidden accidents that got smoothed over. Honestly, almost a third of my time is spent unf***ing projects that other "handymen" swore they finished. I remember once, I was wrestling with anchoring a water pipe in my bathroom renovation, right there with my father-in-law (who's a legit carpentry worker). I nicked the pipe, looking at him in a panic, and he just gave me this completely straight face and said, "Just cover it up before the owner sees it." 😂 #DIY #HomeRenovation #Woodworking #Handyman #HiddenFixes #RealTalk #HomeImprovement #Craftsmanship #HomeTips
