| I need to repair a broken wooden bench in my yard. I bought some 2"x4"'s and wood screws from Home Depot, but the bench has a distinct design that I don't think I can duplicate. I'm not particularly handy with a measuring tape and power saw, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
 I'm sorry, like someone already said, measure twice, cut once.

What's so funny? "Measure twice, cut once" seems like very good advice. |
all treated wood is kiln dried before treatment KDAT is also KILN DRIED AFTER TREATMENT allowing the wood to be Painted immediatly, with little shrinkage or bowing As far as strength? a dry board I would asume is stronger than a wet one.. other than that I would say it's not a strength issue |
| Not all treated wood is kiln-dried. I buy treated wood all the time that is still soaking fucking wet when I pick it up.They make yellow treated wood now that is alot straighter and alot easier to work with. I recommend buying it. I think the name is "Yellawood" or something like that. |
Once it's fixed, keep whoever is sitting on it in the pic off of it. |
All pressure treated wood is kiln dried. It's wet from the process of wolmanizing it. |
| If I were local, I would make those pieces for you. Hire a good Carpenter and he can make those pieces by hand with a table saw and a belt or drum sander. If you have no wood working experience, you won't be able to do it. Those parts were originally made on a shaper of CNC machine. I could make them by hand but I'd charge for it. |
Sorry bout that. I guess I'm not a wolmanizer then... |
