Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone has ever made their own hardwood flooring. I have oak, hickory, and maple wood 5/8 thick. I am looking for some information on milling it to lay a new floor in my dining room. I was thinking instead of tongue and groove that I could groove and spline it all. I am also thinking of an antique look of counter sinking screws and filling the holes. Any thoughts or information about milling this and installing would be of great help to me. Thanks in advance, Steve

Hi Steviegwood, I haven't made it personally but I have a good friend who has.
He kiln dries all his own lumber. Here is a link to his site http://www.tree2table.ca/ you can drop him an email and I am sure he can answer some of your questions.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

Hardwood Floors
Hi Carl, thanks for the link. I dropped him an email and am waiting a reply. I will take any advice that I can get. I priced some flooring and I believe I can do my own a lot less expensive. By the way your friend does have a way with tables and benches doesn't he. Everyone should check that out. Thanks Again, Steve

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby RolfI did not read the fine print, actually not that fine. when I went to buy my new compressor for 25% off (not). That would have been nice, but I am still happy with my purchase. Although I have not used it yet as my garage is rather cold.

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby JimernSome manufacturers will restrict items for resale to a certain price or basement price. And in some cases will only sell with the agreement of no discounts allowed.
And then there is margin, the retailer needs to make a certain amount of money on all sales.-

by RolfHave you had big temperature swings in the shop? My first thought is something binding. I fix all of my own stuff and don't hesitate to take things apart to try and isolate where the issue is.
That said at only two years old I would contact Denny and see if he can direct you to a Pegas tech center....-

by NC ScrollerWelcome. Could be a number of things. I would call Denny at Art Crafters of Dayton or Ray at Seyco. Both numbers can be found on the internet.
