"nar - it's a piece of Merbau decking cut in half down the guts... Even with something soft like pine, it would be unlikely to squash much, but you're better off with a hardwood of some sort."
Cents replied to JakJak's discussion 'How To Begin Making Boards' in the group Board Builders"Also is that maple for the bottom rails? I'm assuming you use a harder material to stop it from squishing when its clamped?"

"Close... just measured mine and they're 400mm - the base board and rail is 1220mm"
Cents replied to JakJak's discussion 'How To Begin Making Boards' in the group Board Builders"Cool I'll just place the cut end on the bottom side as I won't need it. I've also estimated the clamps to be 350mm long- how long were yours?"

"pretty much...
Yep - 3/8 threaded rod and yep - 2 nuts and washers on the bottom piece, and 1 nut on the top piece, but I put a 3/8 inch washer then a 1/2 inch washer under that as they will bite into the pine as you start to crank them down, so a…"
Cents replied to JakJak's discussion 'How To Begin Making Boards' in the group Board Builders"Yep perfect sense. Now I have to find a drill press to make sure the clamp holes are straight - or is this not too much of an issue?
My last question is with the clamps. So its just a threaded steel rod. 2 nuts +washers on the bottom clamp (both…"

"yep - Bunnings for this lot (in the pictures - see my profile).
