Maybe dogs are like people: some like the water, some don't. Many years ago, we were down at a pier at Virginia Beach, watching a charterboat guy clean the fish his customers had caught. He had a "boat cat." The cat was up on the dock with the captain, and the latter cut off small chunks of deboned filet for the cat every few minutes. When all the fish were cleaned, the captain, the cat and the boat took off for their next stop, wherever that was. I mention this because one of our housecats will perch on the edge of the tub if someone is bathing, and sometimes run his paw through the water. The rest of them don't like being near that much water for any reason. -- Which one is the girl? http://tinyurl.com/ycpsnzz |

The only good thing about that is particle board seems to be more expensive than wood in Vietnam so the furniture is solid wood. In Florida that is a good thong. Particle board tends to fall apart here from the humidity. I suppose it does just about everywhere eventually.. I always have put a premium on solid furniture. Just lasts longer. But for the economics, do have some particle board stuff, my desk. Holds up pretty good. But good particle board will last in humid area, just not the cheap stuff. Much depends on the binding materials used. Have a 200 year old solid oak 1 1/4" thick table top antique, holds up real good. Heavy as it gets too. Will outlast me for sure.

My Logitech keyboard is made in Canada. Maybe not quite the US but at least North American. I do think Logitech makes the best keyboards for the price but my wife has a Cherry that is bulletproof. I did pay close to $100 for it though. It has survived dropping ... a lot, coffee, soda, water and an assortment of other assaults. We don't really have computer desks. We use our machines from our living room chairs. I've got a Longitech keyboard ad it's at least 7 yrs old. and says China on the back of it. Yeah, but no one's going to call you a cheap ****.

What isn't made in China? Solid wood furniture. That all seems to come from Vietnam now. The Chinese are complaining that "cheap Vietnamese labor" is stealing jobs from them. Plus the regrowth of bamboo is phenominal. The only good thing about that is particle board seems to be more expensive than wood in Vietnam so the furniture is solid wood. In Florida that is a good thong. Particle board tends to fall apart here from the humidity. I suppose it does just about everywhere eventually.. I always have put a premium on solid furniture. Just lasts longer. But for the economics, do have some particle board stuff, my desk. Holds up pretty good. But good particle board will last in humid area, just not the cheap stuff. Much depends on the binding materials used. Have a 200 year old solid oak 1 1/4" thick table top antique, holds up real good. Heavy as it gets too. Will outlast me for sure. I won't buy anything made from particle board. I actually prefer making my own things like desks and tables. We got the wainscot up in the new room and I still have 280 linear feet of 1x6 cypress left over so I see a lot of cypress furniture in our future ;-) The first thing will be bunk beds for the grandkids. (I do like red oak for structural members tho) My wife has a design she saw in a magazine in mind with lots of built in storage. I have a biscuit jointer and lots of clamps so I can make wide planks. Before I did boats I did custom furniture and particularly counters and tables. I worked with Red Oak, and Maple exclusively. Used to buy my chairs up in Vermont. I have some huge clamping tables and a glue wheel for making butcher block type tops. Like you, I really love working with red oak. Scotty -- Rowdy Mouse Racing, no crybabies! |
