daiku1's Workshop

Is there a current shop? By the way, looks like we are neighbors. I live in Santa Cruz. Welcome to LumberJocks.

Welcome to lumber jocks. I live in San Carlos too!

BTW, what are your favorite places for lumber in the bay area?

Is there room for the arm to swing on the slider.

But I’m with you on buy or otherwise get the wood when you can.

Karson, what a great stash, and well organized too! I am having a hard time these days finding 8/4 wood locally. Praki, I used to buy over at PALS in Oakland, but the quality seems to have gone down. That’s where I find the Hermitage estate poplar I talked about. It used to be called Eco-Timber, which seeemed to get better, more interresting wood at a good price before they were bought out by PALS.

I haven’t tried mail order, but I may just try it in the future. I am so particular about grain, that I am somewhat nervous about buying precious wood that way.

I’m woodworking out of a small garage just south of you in Menlo Park. Welcome to Lumberjocks! I head up to San Carlos a lot to visit the Woodcraft store.

Karson, please put me in your will.

It would be difficult to work in the third shop picture. But mine seems to gradually evolve into that state until I reach the point that I have to straighten it up. I agree with your idea about buying wood. Get it and the projects will come.

thanks for sharing your photos.
