Undecided Question: Will beech and birch accept oil stains in similar way ? Can they be mixed in woodworking projects ?

Gooch Asked: Undecided Question: Will beech and birch accept oil stains in similar way ? Can they be mixed in woodworking projects ?

I like the way beech stains and the fact that is relatively inexepensive. I am however having diffculties finding 1/4inch beech plywood. Birch plywood is easily available in home improvement stores. i was wandering whether I could substitute cabinet door fronts with birch and build the rest from beech.
Will beech and birch accept oil stains similar way ? The unstained wood looks similar.

hello,what i do is get a small sample of what i want and put a bit of stain on it,if i like the way it looks,i go with that.
Both birch and beech are soft woods so staing either of them is no problem,except one will be darker in color…i like working with birch…you can probly go to a mill and have them cut beech to what you want or order it from them,it will be cheaper then retail…hope this helps



Answered:
Yeah, but since it's plywood it will be a little off.

who else has social anxiety and is still happy?

Renegade99 Asked: who else has social anxiety and is still happy?

iam an introverted guy, 21 years.

i guess i have mild social anxiety because i tend to stay away from social encounters!, i usually stay away from places if i know i will be going to interact with people especially strangers. ( ie , shops, juice bars, sports clubs, gyms, places where i know i will be confronted with chit chat)

i guess the reason why iam happy with having social anxiety is because my introverted side likes it! I enjoy sitting home on weekend nights just watching TV and going to bed early so i can get up early and work on woodworking projects all day ( i am a carpenter) then after the weekend i enjoy working all week 10 hours a day

mind you i do enjoy going out to clubs and party's once in a while and in those situations i am very extroverted.

but they are a rare occasion since their is barley any people that i know and i would consider friends as i have practically 0 friends, the only people who txt me on occasions is my dad, and my ex gf…..alot of people would say this is "sad"

i tend to have a hard personality to get along with as i don't let people get near my REAL personality, and if they do i tend to drift from people or drive people away. Perhaps iam afraid of judgment.

just some thoughts i wanted to share. feel free to add something commenting on what i have said or just sharing how you have found harmony with your mind.

I think the important thing to remember is that we're all different and we all live our lives how we want to and – hopefully – in the way that makes us most happy. I was painfully shy for many years at school and even later at college. As a consequence of that I made few friends and found myself getting more interested in solitary pursuits at home, such as painting, reading, writing and other craft-oriented hobbies. I made an 'effort' to be more sociable a few years ago and went out with a group of people but I really didn't like it and found myself longing to be back at my apartment. I do get lonely sometimes but in general I'm happier alone and with my own company. Some people will view this as sad or abnormal but I've learnt it is just how I am and I enjoy it 🙂



Bella Answered:
As long as you're happy, then everything is fine. I don't have social anxiety, I'm a social butterfly and I have a number of very dear friends. I'm sure your real personality is beautiful. Do as you feel, don't put any pressure on yourself to conform or anything, just be your beautiful self.



TVR Answered:
Social anxiety is when you fear social situations (even leaving the house can be hard), a lot of socially anxious people want to be social but are too terrified to do it. I don't think you have social anxiety at all, you just made a life choice.

You sound like my soulmate.

just don't let it control your life and prevent you from doing things you enjoy

How To Make Wood Coasters With High School Students Fall 2011

Someone did not check spelling on the word coasters in the video. Please read all down below. Berthoud High School students in Mr. Robb Sommerfeld's Construction 1 class made a woodworking tutorial for the Plan of Procedure for the coasters. The wood is harvested from the local forest and milled into posts. Some of the wood used on the various projects comes from: culled lumber, orcan come from deconstructed structures in the local area by the National Center for Craftsmanship. The students learn about how to do wood working sustainably. All of the students in Construction 1 are beginning wood workers and have had two weeks at the beginning of the semester to work on this project. This includes learning about Plan of Procedure, storyboards, Flip digital video camera use, digital video editing and uploading. All of this combines to make for rich experiential learning. STUDENTS!!! READ THIS!!!! What kind of wood used? Bring miter saw blade down slowly and lock it off so you are not using the slide!!!! Set depth gauge for drill halfway down into the last coaster. DO NOT sand the side with the disc sander. HAND SAND just a little to take off splinters. Put oil on with rag and rub in on edges and sides. This is not shown in this video. Pay attention to the width of the miter saw blade 1/8". It will factor into your measurements because if you need a piece to be cut at 3/4" you need to remember the blade needs to be accounted for, or your cut will be 5/8". This means your piece <b>…</b>
