I'm working on a project right now and used Gorilla Glue for the first time. It's pretty nasty stuff. A friend told me it can "be used to hold water together".
I ran out of wood glue and used Gorilla Glue in its place. Not too impressed. Seems to hold fine, but clean up is a bitch. Actually there is no cleanup.

And it expands/foams like crazy compared to standard titebond. I always hated it for "fine" woodworking. Learned my lesson and will drive the 10 minutes to get more pva glue now.

i'm sure there are a million things wrong and weird and changes were made to the room after but this was my first project at the house i just lost. my first and only tile job and really first home improvement project. i loved it very much.
i cut all the tiles and the compass was difficult but i got all the cuts done on the compass on the first try. i laid them out and had to return the saw. came back and accidentally stepped on one of the large tiles and it cracked. i had to rent the saw again but this time it took four tries to get one suitable piece.

also needs the wood to be slightly dampened. One big plus--unlike pva, it's stainable. If you make filler out of gorilla glue and sawdust it will take finish like the surrounding wood. A PVA/sawdust patch won't match the wood. Because of the expansion, if you use gorilla glue and sawdust you need to cover the patch with wax paper, then clamp a block of wood over the repair to keep it from foaming out. Because of its color the gorilla glue isn't good for light colored wood.

Yes, Siding is all cedar. Rafters are all Fir that was cut and milled on site. Cedar has been sealed with natural deck sealer but the rafters are raw. Post and beam interior is from the same tree. I just finished staining the siding this year. It has taken me 4 years to finish the exterior and I am now starting the the interior.
Island building is slow I have used 10" pine rough sawn white washed boards fr the interior walls.

Finally got to hang the barn door I've been working on for seemingly ever. Was a lot of fucking around putting this thing together but it all worked out. Learned a few tricks from it for sure and will be making some changes. Worked out to be upper heavy and was a real bastard to get up the stairs from the garage without wreaking walls or anything. Not finished with the trim and cleaning up/painting the drywall/cold air return vent yet but I'm pretty stoked to finally have a door up for the ensuite.

That is incredible! I'm assuming you made a template for the holes? What kind of material is it?
-
10-22-2016, 06:21 PM #1520
Thanks! Material is 16ga. steel with a powder coat finish. I used a couple software programs and a CNC turret press to punch the pattern. I'd probably frame the perf material into a wooden frame next time instead of this kind of overly complicated clam shell design I used here.

Um, Mags that are way smarter than me, question.
I need to replace my deck. Is this something I want to take on? It's maybe 20 x 30 (VERY rough guess) single level. there is a gentle slope to the land, I'd roughly guess at the lowest point the deck is 4ft off the ground, at it's hightest maybe 4.5-5 feet. I have a number of power tools, and am "sorta good" with my hands but never tried anything like this. Specifically worried about location of load-bearing pilings, attaching the damn thing to the house, building codes, etc. Any expereinced mag's opinions / thoughts greatly appreciated. thanks!"Can't you see..."

^If you have an existing deck then it should be relatively easy to replace. You can use all the existing post footings and lag to the house or use joist hangers in the same fashion the current deck is attached.
As you take down the existing, just take measurements, photos, and draw it up. Then build a new one just like the old one. A deck is truly one of the easiest things to build especially when it's relatively low like yours.
With that said, I am capable of building one, but I'm paying someone to replace mine because I'd rather spend my time building mtn bike trails. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but I am an idiot.
