You gonna move the cars out for standing tools?
The cars already live outside. Inside the garage is a cord of firewood - I know, I know, risk of termites, but the garage is brick with a cement floor, and I did'nt have a better place to put the wood when I took it out of the Rover and it seems to be doing fine. There is also mucho yard equipment, and some furniture waiting to be refinished. In other words, it's really a shed, it just happens to be attached to the house.
Do you have a 15" planer? 12"? Table saw? Joiner?
I don't, but I can rent them at the Wood Club. It's a neat place, a big warehouse structure full of all kinds of nifty woodworking equipment, and full of hobbyists building projects, I've seen people making all kinds of furniture, scuptors sculpting logs, people making musical instruments.
I am beginning to think you have Possessionasia, just like Paul.
No, I just have a hankering for mission-oak furniture. Quarter-sawn oak is so beautiful, and I could make furniture myself at the Wood Club.
I am researching estimating the board feet and the price of the wood and it could be worth maybe $4000 retail (2000 board ft., $2000 per 1000 board ft.), so, you're right, why burn it up?
I just learned that I can air-dry it in the garage but it won't get dry enough for furniture use. I can then dry it in the attic, or use a greenhouse as a solar kiln.
It's probably just a wild hair, entertaining crazy schemes runs in the family. Beats walking five miles in the snow to persuade someone not to put his eye out with a fork. (I would have said, go ahead.) |
