Spent the day sanding my wood for future projects....
« 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!  :)

Preparing is still part of the task.  Hope your day was profitable, AND enjoyable.
