Recycled Cedar
. . . .when money is tight and conservation comes to mind
There's only one thing you can do with some old cedar ... that's recycle it .. Saved
on money saved on material
The material at hand,....20 - 25 year
old cedar fence pickets
. . .with the acquisition of some newer components such as PVC lattice, 2
x stock, and a little creativity from the craftsman (designer / installer)
Mixing the old with the new gives new meaning to rustic and new life
to what other wise would been discarded,
The only screws in this type of application are what has adhered
the panel to the deck posts
The secret you may ask ?? Well there's none really with
the proper tools, and some minor wood working knowledge
and determination one could tackle this project on their own
This project was completed with the use of a Sears
Craftsman Excaliber Dado Blade, a Delta Hollow Chisel
Mortiser and of course working knowledge of the tools at
hand.. This project could also be completed by hand with
some chisels, a drill & table
The joinery IE fastening of the panel components is
none other than what is called and known as Mortise and
Tenon Joinery,.... one of the strongest fastening joints
there is
Biscuit joinery would not stand up to the elements as
much unless persay expensive exterior glues were used
to manitin the integrity of the joint s
ENJOY ! ! ! !
. . . there's much more to come
