When working on a project that requires extra attention to measurement…

Like a cabinet project or furniture.

It is a good idea to use a designated tape measure for the whole project.

Not switching between tape measures…

Not all tape measures have the same measurement accuracy…

As seen in the picture, each tape has a different length inch.

Use a mix of tape measures with different size inches…

And you’ll have problems with fit.

Sounds interesting! I believe that most of the modern products today are only improvements to the corporate bottom line. I did make 2 substitutions, boiled linseed oil for raw linseed oil and mineral spirits for turpentine. Raw linseed and turpentine are more traditional. They are just more expensive and harder to find in large quantities.

I can't help but agree. I think your substituted ingredients are perfectly acceptable, given the options.

Good morning nostr!

Over the weekend, I tried a new wood treatment for the shop.

I was wanting an old school wood preservative because modern water based products do not last. (And look like crap)

I found a Scandinavian wood treatment using 1:1:1 parts pine tar, boiled linseed oil, and mineral spirits.

I applied with an airless paint sprayer.

The look far exceeded my expectations as it was applied on weathered cedar siding that looked flat. The oil really brings out the grain and depth.

The first picture is one side half sprayed. The look gets better as it soaks in.
