Cabinet shop closed

Looks like you are having to store that outside. If you need someone in Texas to help take some of that stuff off your hands…

Seriously though, nice score. I’ve been mostly milling storm fall timber from Ike, pretty much what fits on my band saw… Oh and recycling old Waterbed frames, and other misc curbside lumber sources. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Keep up the good work, especially with the recycling bit… Even if you don’t want to be green, it will save you a mess of the other kind of green.

Man you made quite a haul. Way to go…...

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

That’s quite a score for $60. Congrats on the big find.

Yep its outside my garage/shop just isn’t big enough but I do have it covered with two of the biggest tarps i have ever seen…cool thing is when you have an idea to build something and then you go out to the back yard and go shopping. I have mahogany trim, rounded oak…crown molding you wouldn’t believe…1” thick planks of red, white oak…poplar out the waazuu. We hit the lotto for wood working. I graduated from pallets to fine woodworking over night…now what to cut…

-- Measure twice, cut once then go get more wood

The stuff that dreams are made of. Almost as good as winning the lotto.

I think I speak for many of my fellow lumberjocks when I say “I hate you!” :-)

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

I know I should be happy for you, but man am I jealous too. If we were there at the same time, it would have been arace to see who could load up vehicles with stuff the fastest.

on a side note, is that an insulated garage door? If so, did you do it yourself? I desperately need to get my garage door insulated but dont’ want to spend a fortune.

Welcome to LumberJocks! Great Score!

Nothing like being in the right place at the right time.

I need to get out more often and find some deal like that…

-- Al H. - small shop, small projects...

I think Charlie and Joe said it all. Why in the h… can’t I find deals like that? Congratulations on the steal.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

Youre very lucky man.
Your story reminds me my story when I was first involved in woodworking. I approched the owner of a small forwarding company, told him that I wanted to buy one or two of the shippng pallets. I was turned down. In the end, I saw those pallets got rotten.

Maybe I was not in the right place at the right time with the right person.

I’m so jealous of you man!

Great find…..Looking forward to seeing your projects posted as you get to use some of your “Gold Mine”.

You do sucketh, but I always have a thought of the sad circumstances that create a typical gloat…

Welcome to LJs. I’ve found some good deals over the last couple of years, but nothing like this. Congrats!

-- Doug, Cass City, Michigan

Nothing i can say but yes I was in the right place at the right time and made out like a bandit. Keep your eyes open and watch Craigslist.

Now I know where all the caninet shops are in my area and I will start going by there on a regular basis to see if they have any scrap and maybe to if i need something done and cant get it done in my shop its always good to know I have a friend in the cabinet business.

Everyone seems very nice here ty for all the comments and look forward to showing off the goods.

-- Measure twice, cut once then go get more wood

What a deal!

I did enjoy Austin back in my Ft. Hood days.

Great restaurants and galleries, Barton Springs.

Nice score, man!

I second the question about the garage door insulation. Does it help with the noise level? I just moved into a more “upscale” neighborhood, and would like to keep peace w/ my new neighbors (or at least keep the HOA off my butt!)

The garage insulation was only $60 from Loews and the best it does is reflect the heat in the winter it does reduce the noise but it is helpful. In Texas when it’s 107 it will be 100 in the shop. I did have an AC unit under the door sealed off but he hoa said no. So I bought a self contained unit and it sucked took it back and ran a duct from my ac From the house into the shop. Now I Need to do another one. Then it’s about 80.

Nice score, what a great way to join LJs. Welcome!

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

Amazing score!
I’m very envious of your find.

thanks for the reply. I really need to try to do something about my temperature situation.

Well I’m off to drive the area today looking for shops closing. I’ll be blaming you today when I tell my wife why I was not productive with her list. LOL Just thought you should know. Great find!!!!!
