The author does like to from scratch, ru-vid.comUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

@LBCAndrew 3 года назад

Good way to prevent splintering the face of Baltic Birch, especially if you're cutting it using a circular saw is to set the blade so it just barely makes it through and put masking tape along the backside of the cut. i've also found it cuts well when you place it on a sheet of cheap 1" foam board insulation. Higher tooth count also helps.

Sand it, throw on half a dozen coats of home-made wipe-on poly and I'm good. I don't even cover the edges anymore, I burnish them with a 1/2" high-grade stainless steel bar in my router, after sanding, and coat with poly.

There is so much to love about this video. Fast-paced with so much useful information. As a retired forty year shop teacher, who worked many summers as a carpenter, always a pleasure listening to and watching someone who's got the goods. My first job out of high school (say . . . 1970) was as a video editor for a network television station. Man ! this is nicely put together: the pace, sequencing, just flows along without any noticeable dead spots. Baltic Birch? Wish I could have afforded it on my last project, (say, pension level budget) but really, how much longer will I have to live with this regret? The price is not that big a deal. Hey, the extra time it took dealing with the materials I chose to use, I would have had several pension cheques to cover the extra cost (not to mention the money I could have saved on sandpaper and rejected material). Enough. Gotta go hit that subscribe button . . .

Baltic Birch (Void-less) is used by the top guitar and bass amplifier cabinet manufacturers like Mesa/Boogie, Marshall, Orange, etc. I've built quite a few myself too. It's readily available at the big-box stores and it's pretty easy to work with, although a bit heavy and expensive, at least for ply-wood.

Comments from Europe: I've been working now several years with Baltic Birch, never knew that the dark glue lines meant 'waterproof'. We only have these panels available. When it comes to thickness there's also 27 mm available and some lumber yards sell 36 mm panels (two 18 mm panels industrially glued together). As a pro I pay about 22 EUR per square metre nowadays. Thanks for the movie!

@critter469 3 года назад

He didn’t say the dark glue lines are “waterproof”, he said that it was exterior grade glue. There is a difference.

Nice tip on the adhesive. My local supplier does 4x8 sheets. I just checked, and yes, it's exterior adhesive, at least on the B/BB I ordered. Took me a long time to find this supplier up in Baltimore. Getting full sheets of Baltic Birch delivered is a non-starter for most retailers, and most larger places don't want to deal with the public.

@ryanperk7380 3 года назад

I just bought a sheet of 4x8 3/4 thick. It most likely has exterior adhesive. I am not a woodworker and am doing a project in which this will be use as a platform bed in a conversion van. I bought it because it was supposed tonneau the strongest thing you can find. Do I need to return and get a 5x5. Is there a huge difference in strength or something??

@Psychlist1972 3 года назад

@@ryanperk7380 Just support it properly, like any other plywood. The plywood itself should be just fine. The only real difference is that the exterior adhesive is darker.
