E.B. Tool Company warns the household handyman and the professional carpenter of the dangers involved in using reclaimed wood.
Gays Mills, WI, June 01, 2014 – One look at Pinterest, Facebook, or DIY blogs, and it is clear that using reclaimed wood and pallets is a popular trend. From making book shelves and patio furniture to bed frames and dining room tables, plans and diagrams are readily available. However, what many of these sites and sources fail to do is warn the do-it-yourself handyman of the dangers lurking in the old wood.
To avoid accidents, injury, or irritation, E.B. Tool Company encourages the DIY handyman to take precautions to avoid contact with chemicals and toxins, lead paint, pests, and rogue nails and screws. These handyman tips, fully outlined on the E.B. Tool Company blog, include:
* Wearing gloves, a mask, and eye protection when handling old wood
* Using an air purifier or dust collector during construction
* Thoroughly washing, treating, or sealing materials as needed
* Sourcing wood from reputable suppliers who know the material’s history
E.B. Tool Company fully supports repurposing used building materials to create custom masterpieces. In fact, to make wood recycling easier, the tools and supply company created the innovative KwickGripper nail removal tool. Using the KwickGripper, the family handy man as well as the professional carpenter can get into small spaces and remove broken fasteners without causing damage to the reclaimed lumber.
