Following on Pauls remarks today not wanting to clutter up his post this is how I made sure my blanks were dried ready to drill, glue, turn. I have dried thousands this way over the years. Alongside the main stacks I used to Log Cabin style make a stack weighed together of the slowest drying ones and every week unstack weigh that group I did this for years one day the Oracle SWMBO made a canny observation based on years of what do you think of this and that she observed blanks that were not dried sufficiently felt cold and damp and so for years now thats my quick test works for me never lost a blank through dampness inside since. Incidentally the Olive Blanks in the pic (rhs) are amongst the slowest.
These days with the extractor unit fitted in the pitch above the pic area air movement up there is great, I fitted a 3 minute accessed folding step unit in the hallway into the roof.
I used to be in a hurry to dry figured why? Thought I had a short time to live in my 60,s decided no one had the right to instant pens from whatever timber etc just enjoyed the ride ever since.
Kind regards Peter.
