Is poplar wood good for furniture?
Hi, everyone! We got another 📣Question From the Community📣 For those who already worked with it, is poplar wood good for furniture? It caught my eye for a few reasons. It's cheaper, which is a big plus for my wallet, and I've heard it's pretty easy to work with, even for us DIYers who aren't quite master craftsmen yet. But then there's a nagging voice in the back of my head that's doubting because of durability and long-term wear and tear. What was your experience like with poplar wood? I'm not sure whether it's okay to use or if I should just play it safe and stick to more traditional options.

As we can say in France, "le peuplier, ça peut plier", which mean "poplar can bend". You can do what you want with it, but just keep in mind that if you use long pieces of poplar, it might bend more easily that other Woods.

What size shop vac do I need?
📣Question From the Community: I'm looking for a new shop vac for my workshop, I previously had one but it's small and it's not enough for me anymore. How do you choose a shop vac anyway? I mean, do I go big and beefy or should I opt for something more compact and manageable (therefore saving space in my already cluttered garage)? My workshop isn't exactly sprawling, more like a glorified closet with power tools. So while I'd love to have room for a monstrous shop vac, I also need to be realistic about what'll fit without knocking stuff over. But on the other side, I don't want to skimp on suction power because I'm sure you already know how messy workshops can get. So what size shop vac do I need? Are there any specific features or brands I should keep an eye out for?

How to make plywood look good? Any ideas?
📣Question From the Community: Okay, so I want to finally start my dream of selling small furniture and home decor online. I work with plywood most of the time, and while it has its aesthetic, I'm hoping to make them look a bit more Instagram-worthy, you know? So I was hoping to get advice from this community about how to make plywood look good. Maybe you have any tips or tricks that will help me incorporate more variety.

And what about adding veneer on plywood, and play with the line on the side. That is what I did with these clocks, and I love the result

I usually use White spirit to clean wood after sanding. I also gives me a good idea of the final color the wood will have
