the broken carpenter #4: 3

So the last house didn’t work out and as such either did the shop. We just moved into a brand new apartment building and it’s nice not having to spend my time dealing with 125 year old plumbing and electrical issues. I have a basement shop with decent headroom and OK lighting; it’s remarkably better than my previous shop which was akin to a dungeon.

I have about 450 square feet of open space. We moved in just as the contractor was completing work on the building. He agreed to leave all his scraps, so I have a boat load of wood: 2x dimensional pine; lots of oak flooring, wainscoting, trim, baseboards; and lots of mdf trim. I already built a lumber rack from the scraps and you can see all he left me. There is a whole other pile on the floor (not seen in the photo) and another pile in the garage! What a jackpot of lumber. My next few projects will only cost me the hardware.

Take a look at my updated workshop for more details.

Thanks for reading. J-
