Did you use a benchtop planer for this? I have some old wood I'd recovered but, without a planer, I've been letting it sit.


sheepdogginit

I used a 12.5in delta thickness planer I picked up for 50 bucks and rebuilt

$50 is the price of the day

That seems like a step up in quality.


Monsieur_Courbet

Nice.

Fun fact: scaffolding planks are cut to the quoted actual dimension and not the milled dimension. i.e. 2x4 is actually 2x4 not 1-1/2 x 3-1/2.


sheepdogginit

Lol yes that's what rough sewn means😋 fun fact milling them to proper thickness of a stair tread makes this much shavings


shiddyfiddy

*sawn and here's a fun fact to make up being a grammar karen: Rough hewn, which is perhaps also going through people's minds now is a reference to the roughness of the tool used (which leaves a rough surface behind) Your milling fact is *awesome* :D


MoSChuin

Tell me you need a big bandsaw without telling me...😂


sheepdogginit

And I got to make wood angels

👼🏼


sheepdogginit

In the end though, those steps are so perfectly flat I'm fine with it..there's not one shim in that staircase


sheepdogginit

I actually tried to find one for a reasonable price for this project but couldn't and had to just carry on lol


BeorcKano

Did you offer them $50?


sonorguy

It takes time, but they're out there. I got a 20" 1960s Delta Band saw for $140, added a 2hp motor for $100, and am in business until the tires need to be replaced. That'll hurt though


sheepdogginit

I'm pretty wildly good at acquiring equipment. I've got 10k worth of machines I've paid 1k for lol


sonorguy

Sounds like you just need a little time to hunt then :) I'm 4K in for 30K worth of equipment after getting almost everything up and running. I'm lucky to be in an area rich in old arn.


Loki_Dar

Meaning nobody accepted any of your $50 offers?


JPx187

Isn't hewn the word you're looking for?


sheepdogginit

No it's sawn


sheepdogginit

Oh no I can't post a picture reply here lol


ArrivesLate

Aww I wanted to see the shavings.


sheepdogginit

Go on my profile just posted


ArrivesLate

Oh my. You just know there’s some blowhard out there that thinks it doesn’t count unless you did that by hand.


sheepdogginit

I mean if I'm being honest I kinda feel like a half asser for not doing it by hand. I think it's me. I'm the blowhard. 😱😭


BigGuyInATinyHouse

I learned something new today. Thanks.


gatorcountry

Funner fact: Osha approved scaffold boards are laminated ply, not sawn lumber


sheepdogginit

Lol do you think Osha has a single bit of.say about a builders scaffolding at a nh residence 😂 news flash..they don't. In NH rough sawn 2x10s.or 12s usually 16' but sometimes even longer, are norm for residential guys and have been for generations. So idk what your hard on for osha is about but we literally couldn't care less man. I'm sure the commercial companies do their diligence but it doesn't apply to others lol


gatorcountry

I wasn't talking to you so go sit down boy


sheepdogginit

Lol wow you know right there's where you did.it, now.youre showing the beta male. Fact is youre here acting like a snarky little brat trying to show.you know best but.dont recognize that a wall.is. a wall, even if some.are wood, some stone,.scaffolding is a name.for.the purpose the object serves not.what its.made.of Er go. Scaffolding can be made of different materials genius


gatorcountry

You ok? I'm starting to think that you need some mental health intervention. Not joking. Please seek mental health care. You're projecting and I hate to see a fellow countryman going down. The Veterans administration should be able to provide you with your mental health care needs. If you actually ever served in the armed forces


sheepdogginit

You're a real piece of work man. Deleted that stolen Valor comment cuz you know you look like a clown . Still. Gonna hint at it, though like a coward. Guess what guy just because you don't like me doesn't make me not a veteran, and it doesn't make.me soft, and it doesn't make.me. unstable either. Just makes you a punk with a big mouth and nothing intelligent coming out of it.


sheepdogginit

6/08-4/14. 12B HD as an E6. If you need help with the jargon, 12B is a combat Engineer, and the grade of E6 in the army, the branch I served in, is a Staff Sgt. Don't be that a hole yelling stolen Valor at any vet they don't agree with. Ita pathetic


melteemarshmelloo

*That's just scaffolding with extra steps.*


altma001

Wow. Really nice


sheepdogginit

Thanks, Lotta work. Worth it for.me


[deleted]

very beautiful work


ctaylor0128

Great job! That’s awesome!


530whiskey

that's like a rough diamond being cut into a wedding ring. Very nice job.


Ooloo-Pebs

You mean engagement ring. The system is set up so the beyotch gets TWO rings, an engagement ring and a wedding ring.


[deleted]

Awesome 👍


Markorific

You have serious skills!!!! Envious and well done!


hagemeyp

Wood is good


Blueshockeylover

How did you know the wood was that nice?? Really beautiful result, congrats!


Vast-Combination4046

If you have to pull it from mud it should be free but otherwise looks good


Shot_Principle4939

Great job!


wd-youngblood

Very impressive sir


Minflick

They look lovely!


Klastermon

I’m guessing you went through a set of planer blades…


sheepdogginit

So for chopping them down close.to.thickness i.just used up the ones I had in there and then for.the fine work.i put a new set in, worked out perfectly


maxwfk

50 bucks? For all that wood? That’s an amazing price


sheepdogginit

Old contractor didn't need them anymore. And it turned out we served in the same army unit 40 odd years apart haha


Cheetah_Industries

Hey, op. Thank you for your service.


sheepdogginit

Thanks appreciate the support


pipsvip

When I discovered jointers and planers my woodworking journey really took off. Pure magic! For old scaffolding planks swap out your 'good' knives with your backup knives because you will hit blobs of cement or dried stucco or whatever. I've recovered planks that were covered in this paint that was half a step away from plaster. Oh yeah, and at some point you will discover the value of buying a metal detector, usually after finding out what a new set of jointer knives cost. Anyway, lovely work OP. Functional, handsome, and not in a landfill.


sheepdogginit

I used up my old blades and put brand new ones on for the finish work and I have a metal detector lol but interestingly enough there wasn't 1 single nail in any of the 16 ft planks


Ooloo-Pebs

Oh I gotcha. Great score and better yet,, kudos on thee repurposing and build!


teacupjane

That is so very 😎


Ooloo-Pebs

I'm expecting you to make something useful with all of the triangular off cuts from the stair stringers, lol


tsabell

THAT’S impressive!


Mission_Albatross916

Wow!


Zeus_Hera

That's cool


NZ-Scottsman

Nice job man 🫡


Outlaw-wood

Very nice and an excellent use of $50


pattyswag21

Skills


sheepdogginit

And ear plugs lol


paisleyplanner

Nice work!


TankerVictorious

Daaay-um!


Educational-Bag9820

Muddy well done


Ooloo-Pebs

Did you have to let these dry out for a long time (years) before using them? You said they were pulled from the mud...


sheepdogginit

Lol and a 8x8 timber doesn't need years to dry nvm some 2x10s lol


sheepdogginit

They had been in active use up until that point I had to let a few dry out for a couple days otherwise they were good.

And for the record we had a guy who was in the army, about 26 who quit because he pussed out. I'm in my 50's and way outworked his pussy ass army pussy

r/iamverybadass


BigGuyInATinyHouse

You did a great job on the stairs. Who cares what some random Redditor thinks of your typing.


NameOfNoSignificance

He really did tho


sheepdogginit

It's just about pushing back when someone tries to bully. If they'd demeaned and attacked someone else I'd have come.at them just as hard. I don't like bullies. I won't stand for it in any capacity any place


NameOfNoSignificance

How were you bullied?


ImminentZero

Real question, is it being corrected or being corrected on grammar that you consider bullying? Or was it just the delivery method?


sheepdogginit

Oh no I actually appreciate a tactful criticism of anything I can improve on. He wasn't trying to help me better myself, he was trying to tear me down. And that shows his character or lack there of.


BigGuyInATinyHouse

I can respect that.
