October 18, 20214 yr Author comment_867129 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. Report

October 18, 20214 yr comment_867135 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. Report
October 18, 20214 yr Author comment_867137 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. 😁 Report
October 18, 20214 yr comment_867176 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. . Report
October 19, 20214 yr Author comment_867180 You've got some nice Rift Oak in there too. And I saw a nice slab of Mahogany. Report
October 19, 20214 yr comment_867204 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. Report
October 20, 20214 yr comment_867302 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 Report
October 20, 20214 yr Author comment_867315 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. Report
October 20, 20214 yr comment_867325 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. Report
October 20, 20214 yr Author comment_867336 🤣 Every project is different. This table was a little less than 3 hours, start to finish. Rustic is the key here. No sanding involved. Report
October 20, 20214 yr comment_867338 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. Report

October 23, 20214 yr comment_867489 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. Report
October 23, 20214 yr comment_867550 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 25, 20214 yr comment_867673 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. Report
