Recycled Spindles

Great job Phi, do you have a supply problem keeping everything that you find?

Looks much better with the upgrade for sure. Looks beautiful.

Big improvement! Nice work, Phil.

I was just given about fifty ballusters that were stored in a barn. They’ll make great legs for reproduction harvest tables and sofa tables.

Phil do you have an apprenticeship available? You are productive, don’t know how you get time to work at your full time job – I think you drive a moving van?.

Bill, I used to be a mover but I’ve got one of those gravy runs you get when you’ve been in the industry long enough. I drive 250 miles a night and switch trailers inside a building, then unload with a forklift inside another building 125 miles away, then go home. I’ve got a condominium sleeper bunk(which I dont need – but the long wheelbase makes the ride more comfortable) and all the bells and whistles to make for a comfortable night. I get paid 8 hours to do 6 or 7 hours work, plus my trucking boss has a huge crating operation and he gives me free wood and lets me use the shop as well. He has one of those panel saws like Home Depot and all the toys.

I do not know about the work Phil, but it sounds like it has some nice benefits. Free wood, panel saws, etc. Nicely done.

Bill, you should see my boss’s woodworking shop that he’s putting together for his home. Its a 20 foot sea going container disguised with board and batten pine siding, fake windows and door(antiques) – somebody has already twisted the doorknob off trying to break in. It will have all the bells and whistles but he wont let me take photos untill its in place. I’ve seen some of the equipment in storage and its pretty impressive.

Nice! I could use one of those containers as my shop, except it would take up my whole back yard. Well, that would cut down on the yard work..hmmm

Bill you could stack them and have a 2 story shop.
