So now for the balister. I'm
gonna use this pine, just for
the look of look and feel this
is gonna be looking like that
and a lot of those.
This is 35 by 42 pine.
It's a trick as well because
normally my balister would be
very expensive or like $13.20 a
balister.
And this thing I bought it, it
's a 4, initially a 4.8m button
I think it's called.
It costs $13 for 4.8m so I'll
make 5 balister into that. That
really brings the price down to
$2-3 per balister.
And it goes like that. It's a
flat cut at the top, goes under
the cap and then I do a bit of
a 30 degree angle here.
I think for rain retention it's
a bit better I suppose. That's
what I saw a balister being cut
like that.
And I will cut as many as that
to be able to have warmth every
120ml per regulation to have
less than 120ml space between
each balister.
So there's work I started
already. I got already a couple
of them cut here.
I do cycle straight on both
ends so right now what I'm
doing is I'm cutting a bit of
an angle like that.
So again with my good friend
the drop saw, removing pieces
like that.
I have 52 to make plus the
stairs, plus the one for the
stairs that would be a bit of a
different cut.
And then once that is done I
will talk about the painting
and the treatment with another
topic. That's it.
Alright so here we got all
those balisters that I cut.
Those ones are the ones for the
stairs. They got an angle on
each end.
All the same size, 78.
So now the thing is they are
untreated pine and I want them
to keep a bit longer so I take
paymenting again.
What I'd find is a treatment,
like a kind of homemade
treatment you do similar to
what they're doing in a company
when you buy some treated wood.
This one is made of boron. I
will use a brush, put it on the
wood before the paint.
And hopefully it will prevent,
it's a fungicide and insect
icide so it prevents any
development of mushroom and
insects drilling into the wood
over the year.
The paint on top of it will
have water protection but that
under would prevent that
anything fungus doesn't develop
and the wood stay intact.
Definitely not as good
treatment as the one I supply
in a factory because it's a
completely different process
but I hope this could help
making this wood last a bit
longer.
Concerning that it was a cheap
wood is the idea. So yeah I'm
going to do that now.
Probably put a bit of water
first on this post because the
treatment penetrates better
with this water.
And then I put treatment on it.
That's it.
Good afternoon. So another day
on the deck. Still on my wood
treatment process for this
untreated pine.
I got here roughly 50-60 ball
istae that are all pre-cut to
the right size.
I'm now doing a treatment. So
first I just wet them slightly
with a bit of mist of water so
the treatment penetrates better
after.
And now with just a brush and
this treatment that is here
between the bin I'm applying an
old side.
Got a bit of a factory here.
Going quite well. Doing one
side at a time for all ballist
ae.
And yes and then let it dry.
Then we can do the paint. That
's it.
