<p>Thanks, Brad, for taking time to write. Yes, moisture content is an important factor, and could be the subject of an entire newsletter/article. We'll put this one on the list for possible future inclusion in Kreg Plus. Thanks for reading!</p>

<p>More thorough research when writing Kreg Plus articles sent out to us Kreg customers, specifically your October 2013 newsletter, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tips for Building with Pine</span>. </p>
<p>This article failed to include the most important consideration in pine wood selection, <strong>moisture content</strong>. MC is a factor in most all projects be they fine quality furniture pieces or a basic outdoor deck. How often has it happened that you complete a beautiful project then within a month, an unsightly crack or warp develops? Probably more often than any of us is willing to admit.</p>
<p>I compliment Kreg on the distinction between Lumber Yard vs Home Center marketing, but MC must be considered with any project. A more thorough article should have addressed these questions:</p>
<p>What amount of MC is suitable for which type of project?</p>
<p>What MC can I expect with #2 pine, or select, or D grade, or clear, or quality?</p>
<p>What does Kiln Dried vs Air Dried mean to my project?</p>
<p>A proper article on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tips for Building with Pine</span> should answer these and other related questions. Perhaps they can be addressed now?</p> Kreg rep. post by ernesto du…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2013-08-15:2900167:Comment:5620582013-08-15T01:12:12.685Zjames wilhelmhttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/jameswilhelm

<p>The following is getting off the ''subject'' matter,</p>
<p>but the following is an FYI.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Re ''Beadlock Joinery".</p>
<p>Peruse all the reviews, on Rocklers product review.</p>
<p>Cuts and measurements need to be accurate.</p>
<p>Clamping needs to be tight.</p>
<p>Use a ''sharp'' marked line---0.7mm HB pencil lead works fine---</p>
<p>0.5mm HB pencil line is better.</p>
<p>(a framing carpenters pencil or lumber crayon marked line is too wide,</p>
<p>akin to using yard stick vs an accurate steel rule).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Use a brad point drill bit, for better performance.</p>
<p>Use a piece of masking tape, on the drill shank, to mark drilling depth---</p>
<p>don’t cut-off the tab on the jig, as some have suggested, so they could use a drill stop block.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Use a drill speed of 2000rpm, for smoother cutting.</p>
<p>(I get acceptable results, using 1500-1800 rpm).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The ¼’’ size drill jig block is ¾’’ thick---same thickness as the block for 3/8’’ size.</p>
<p>(Shims need to be used, when using ¼’’ size in ½’’ thick stock.</p>
<p>The drilled holes should be in the center of the work-piece.</p>
<p><b>NOTE</b>: if the joined work pieces are not the same thickness, clamp the drilling jig on the intended finished side of the work-piece. I always clamp the jig on the near side of the work-piece, so that the holes will be the same distance inward, on all surfaces.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>TIP</b>: Make sample test pieces---drilling and assembly---before proceeding to the finished product, so as to become familiar with it’s functions and design features.</p>
<p>Strive for accuracy, for optimum results.</p>
<p>Haste makes waste.</p>
<p>One learns more as they go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've made some of my own modifications, to my tools, to suit my needs.</p>
<p>I just had to figure it out, what works best for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The beadlock joinery system is great for small jobs, individual builds, short production runs and small shops---</p>
<p>as well as for those with limited tools and skills---(you only need a drill, clamps as glue).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When making larger projects, such as 4x4 stock, using the beadlock joinery system, use 2 sets of ½’’ size beadlocks---each set-in from each face---front-side and back-side. This makes for a sturdier construction.</p>
