Title: Spent the day sanding my wood for future projects....
Post by: TheMelster on March 28, 2012, 07:50:48 pm
Great day, lots of sun, wind and cooler temps made it perfect for getting out in the driveway and sanding my wood for projects. Lots of up and down the stairs, but I need some exercise too. Spent some time these past months pickin thru the scrap piles at the Menards around me. Pickedup some 3/4" x 12" x 4'  cut offs for ...... hang on..$0.49. I love finding that knotted pine.... had quite a stack but managed to get er all done. Now I can hit the saw.

Good for you!  It's always a good feeling to get ahead in that department.  Then when the inspiration hits - you can get right to the fun part!  :)

Glad your day was good. Been great weather here in Ky. also. About pickin scrap wood. You can go to alot of lumber yards, or mills and get slabs, cutoffs. I had been cutting my slabs off and using for firewood, but now into scrolling, I get a half inch thick piece from a slab I been savin it....LOL!! Guess it's got me really bad...LOL!!!
