Salvaging the wood from the deck

Projects Add comments

I have been salvaging some of the wood that i removed from our railings on the deck.  It turns out that the 2×2 pieces are red cedar but they have been painted red and show some weathering.  I have been removing the screws and then using my hand power planer to give them new life…

Removing the posts

Paint and plants removed

I plan on using the pieces to make the benches in the sauna (that i plan on making some day).  I also think they would be great for making deck furniture out of.

    I’ve never seen a power hand plane in use, but that result is sweet. Now I know what to ask for at Christmastime.
