Beginner woodworker here, help needed
What about it?
My friend and I are attempting to build a very large trebuchet, and are trying to do it without buying tons of lumber (it’s very expensive where we are) so we have these two long pieces of wood that we are trying to attach, end to end for an upright support. What are your thoughts on how to do this?
Coaster build
What about it?
Coasters are foam sheet on bottom, then plywood, and gorilla glue to hold the ceramic chips down. Question is what can I use that will hold up to cold beverages to almost grout but fill in the gaps for the coaster surfaces? I can tape off the edges and use a lot more gorilla glue, was thinking clear caulk but it would be harder to spread, not sure how spackle would hold up, and have zero epoxy experience.
The wood part was easier, just 4†squares glued and pressed to foam craft sheets.
Took me an unholy amount of time to prep this piece of Elm as my first project, trying to make a coffee table. What should I finish it with? I only want to make grain pop and give it some protection., would Beeswax do it? I've tried BLO on a piece of scrap and couldn't get it to dry whatsoever.
