October 18, 20214 yr Author It would be very much worthwhile to rent a storage unit, then sell it off for much more than you paid. But I understand the complexities of that.
October 18, 20214 yr Buy a prefab shed. Rent a storage unit. Build a quick wood rack on the outside of the garage with a shed roof or tarps.
October 18, 20214 yr Donate it to your local hacker space. You'll get a nice tax break, and it will get used and appreciated. 8 minutes ago, Voltron said: Buy a prefab shed. Rent a storage unit.

October 18, 20214 yr I have a conditioned 10x14 storage unit for winter boat storage I guess I could throw it in. The main reason I was going there was to see this bandsaw, but it is 230v 3 Phase. Should have seen the plug in the pics.
October 18, 20214 yr Author Pretty The price of hardwood has gone crazy. It would be fantastic to have that stash. Some could be shipped to Milo & Otis woodworks inc. 😁
October 18, 20214 yr Bought it all. Working now to line up local buyers for much of the non-Maple/Walnut. Have lined up enough to double the cost I paid and I still have about 90% of the sticks still left to sell. Most ridiculous pieces were two 16’x14” Oak Quartersawn 8/4 and the 14’x12” Walnut 12/4 behemoth. .
October 19, 20214 yr Author You've got some nice Rift Oak in there too. And I saw a nice slab of Mahogany.
October 19, 20214 yr I bought a job lot of veneer a few years ago. Lots of it. For a whopping £100. It cost me more for the shelving to store it! But all the suggestions regarding the bargain price for all that hardwood are good. Snap it up and then work out which of the suggestions work best for you.
October 20, 20214 yr Ended up heading to Texas to pick up the Supermax as it was a bit too large of a project for my dad. Smaller than I expected, which is perfect and really no sign of wear at all. Got it all put back together after transport to the farm where it will live until I have time to drive the truck down to pick it up. Edited October 20, 20214 yr by VPI
October 20, 20214 yr Author This morning I built a rustic Redwood table to go on the deck of my boss' new house. Next up, benches. Last week I built a similar table for his dining room.
October 20, 20214 yr Are you saying that it does not take you months to finish a project? Starting and finishing in one day seems impossible based upon my 4 months for bedside tables project experience.
October 20, 20214 yr Author 🤣 Every project is different. This table was a little less than 3 hours, start to finish. Rustic is the key here. No sanding involved.
October 20, 20214 yr My project this weekend is designing and building a rack to store lumber in the storage unit. Also trying to come up with something for storing a lot of it as my house.

October 23, 20214 yr Decided to go beyond rustic for my stick holder. I call it ghetto rustic. Just needed to keep sticks off the floor and needed a power strip for the equipment on that wall.
October 23, 20214 yr Did the jointing work (sort-of) for the top of the new dog crate for my basement. Walnut sides and cherry racing stripe. Only have a 6” jointer and the planer only goes to 13, so I am going to have to half ass it and try to let dominoes make everything flat. Walnut is pretty good but the cherry lifts in one corner.

October 24, 20214 yr Got the quote for adding a sub panel with 12 circuits to the garage with 2 240v outlets and hardwiring the heater for $4,000.00. Copper must be $800 a foot these days. Edited October 25, 20214 yr by VPI
October 25, 20214 yr Load #1 ready for unloading. Sooo much fucking sticks. Had a commercial woodworker there loading up his expensive edge bander and he said I had at least 18 BF of Wenge, 250 of walnut and even more of the hard maple and oak.
October 25, 20214 yr Who cares? Make some fun stuff, or find a local wood nerd to come take a look if you’re worried about making a cutting board out of poisonous wood.
