Great recycling job. Nothing beats free lumber!

Thanks Woodworm and Ted. It is fun taking and old grey weathered piece of wood and end up with something useful and that doesn’t look too bad either.

That’s true Charlie. Wood prices are crazy.

Great job on the table! Keep up the recycling. Every stick of wood is useful, you just have to chip away the parts that you don’t need.

Heavy or not, this is a nice piece.

Very nice reclamation job! Doing something like this got me interested in getting my first planer.

Spike- thrown out? I don’t know those words, not only for wood but anything else. My wife gets so frustrated that I save everything, heck you never know, I might use it in my next life.

Mick- Thanks, your right every piece is useful. I live near a store and I’m having a problem with someone throwing trash in my yard, it’s always Colt45’s and lottery tickets. Hmmmm? If I could catch them I would like to introduce them to a large piece of wood!

Oldschoolmodder- Thanks!

Rikkor- I’d be lost without the planer. I love it when you stick a nasty looking piece in one side and then when it comes out the other it is so beautiful. I have a few pieces that the grain was so pretty that I hate to cut it up. I’m saving it for something special.

Thanks all for the kind remarks

That’s a great looking job concidering it’s made out of skids.

Nice looking table. I just broke down 6 pallets to use, pulled the nails, and planed it. It took about four hours… Not sure what I am going to make from it yet. I am constantly scouring trash piles for free wood!

Cleaning up old wood can be time consuming.

The old rusty nails are a pain to get out. I hate when the heads break off.

Make sure you post the project you use the reclaimed wood for crankyrocker.

-- Jim, Kentucky

Whoa!!!!

Between woodworm and jim, this forum has changed!!!

Exactly what kind of dancing does DebbeP do??

Scratch that, I think we should let it go, this is a family rated G forum. lol

woodworm, sometimes too much head can be a bad thing, as I discovered this weekend at the part-time job, when the refrigerant glycol tank froze up, and the taps were pouring nothing but foam! Try telling 60 or so regulars that ALL the taps are not working, and watch them FREAK out. Oh, and it was my first day behind the bar as well!

In any case, I don’t mean to hijack the discussion here. I love using reclaimed wood. Yeah, it can be hard to rehabilitate, but the character that much of it contains is without peer, even in “premium” wood sold retail anymore!
