My Place: a CAT, Mahindra, and Ducks

I have the deck frame completely finished and painted. Since this is a tractor forum, I included a tractor photo.
I will start later this afternoon decking it. First, I need to go help my neighbor paint two sides of her house.
hugs, Brandi

One of the first things I noticed about retirement is my energy toward helping others. I've always got a to-do list here at home. But I often go help others. I get more out of it than they do.

Richard,
You are so right about that.

A good blind fix for a door when the style seperates from the rail is to pre drill the style [verticle member] and run a ledger lock into the rail [horizontal member] . Then plug the hole with a wood dowel . You will never know its there. Works on old doors , windows anything that has that kind of const. Most contractors don,tfix anything any more they just replace. Bindi you need a jointer to straighten warped and twisted lumber not a planer. Google it they can explain the process alot better than me . Besides my carpul tunnel is killing me already and I cant spell for sh%&.:drink:

Spitter,
Bindi is Steve Erwin's daughter.:laughing: I am Brandi.

My planer planes Red Oak and Yellow Pine flat. I guess the Hickory was twisted just right. Don't think I will be buying a 20 inch wide joiner.
Please explain these terms..............style, rail, ledger lock to me. I take it style and rail are the door parts and ledger lock is a rod that pulls the door together. My plan is tongue and groove on the "rails" and top and bottom "styles". Then long wood screws and glue. I have seen it done to a front door in Tennessee and added it to my bucket list.
hugs, Brandi

Sorry about name:banghead: I was try to spell ,write your thread name Bindian . Any way I did explain the terms Style [a verticle member of a door or window ] Rail [a horizontal member of a door or window ] I just suck at getting my point accross.:confused3: Head locks , ledger locks are Simson fastners name for screws that range from 21/2 to 6 " that take the place of 3/8 lag bolts . Best invention since sliced bread.:thumbsup: Wagtail { hope i spelled that one rite ] I was talking about the process of trueing lumber on a jointer plane to remove any warps or twists. Sorry for confusion I can build anything, but I can't spell or type .:drink:

No worries Cobber... I Googled "jointer" (known here in Aus as a 'planer'). :thumbsup:

:laughing: There is an endless list of words that you use that I use a different word for the same thing. CHUX = J-Cloth, butterfly-nut = wingnut, Biro = pen, etc... All part of the fun and learning experience of being on an international website.

(Oh, and I too have accidentally called Brandi 'Bindi')

My vocabulary has expanded greatly from visiting with my Aussie friends here on TBN.

That is okay Pitter.:laughing: Simson fastners. Those are like the fasteners I plan on using. Can't remember the name, but I got it wrote down somewhere.

Which Blairtown do you live in or near?
