Another great score today! Books and wood

Way to go, Angie. Scrounging is a good thing. The price is always right. You can makes lots of things with 2×4’s..you always need them!!

I scored good too. I was at garage sale and this guy had a Coleman 3500 watt generator with 120 and 220 outlets and only 10 hours on it. He wanted $300 and could not sell it at his sale. I called after the sale and offered $225 and he took it!!!!!!!!...............Cheers, Jim

Great score on the reading materials! You never know when one of the articles/plans will jump out at you and plead to be built. Well done!

Of course these books are older so they have some outdated designs. But there are several projects that I really like. The cool thing is that the techniques never get outdated. And even better… they didn’t have the same tools that we have available to us now so they did things different. Learning a lot from them.

I have to work today. So I’m planning on knocking it all out early enough so that I can be in the shop by 2:00 and make use of the 2×4’s

Great score on magazines and lumber. Why is it if I see any 2×3 or 2×4’s laying around they are always a foot or two? lol Build something cool and have fun.

Great score on the books!!! Why would anyone want to burn books? Take them to the library, used bookstore, or have yard sale.

Hi Angie, sounds like you had a great weekend, although a busy one.
The books were sure a great find!

What a great day and You have a great day too…!

Great Job Angie ! I have a sister named Angie.

The wood kinda looks like pressure treated. Be sure before the application.
Great haul.

Dont think this will quite deserve a “You suck”,,,, but Good score on both counts… :-)

And as far as magazines being “outdated”, I still have a few from the 70s and 80s with a couple things I’d like to build someday. I figure that so long as I like it, I dont care if it’s from the 80s or current…. I still like it and the only one I gotta please is ME :-)

Books are a form of wood! That you got some that talk about wood is a triple bonus! Years ago an elderly neighbor gave us a ton of old plans for everything from yard art to knick knack shelves. Some good stuff in there. Enjoy! Hope your daughter gets bitten by the scroll saw bug! :-)

I was wrong about the boards… They were all 10’.

This is what I did with them….

It looks pretty dirty… But this is for my mom and she wants it painted. Just finished it up about 30 minutes ago. Another late night in the shop. Had a blast. Also got the chance to let a friends son make one of the little mini picnic table salt & pepper holders. He said he’s going to paint it and put little flower pots in it. He loved it and had a great time. It’s been a good day in the shop.

I also moved the RAS and some other things out of my shop and into the storage garage. Tomorrow I will be cleaning and organizing… AND making some sawdust.
