On a Roll

After organizing the sheet goods I moved on to the lumber rack.

I did not get as much done as I would have liked because I had to go look at a job and I ended up making a couple of models for beam wraps and a light trough.

I got the three small shelves that hold stock up to 48” cleared off. I only kept the stickers for lumber and some blocks that hold projects off the table for finishing.

I discovered the T-tracks that I intended to install on my bench and chopsaw station. Now I have yet another project to take care of.

Most of the wood has been cut up to burn. I kept some stock and bundled it for a local LumberJock. He got a Porter Cable dovetail jig for Christmas and there is enough stock to keep him busy making boxes for a while. The beam is not included in the giveaway, only the small shrink wrapped stock.

Too bad there aren’t more LumberJocks in town. I am sure that it won’t take long for the shelves to start collecting lumber drops again.

Peace, Love, & Woodworking

Lookin good, Todd.

I’d love to hear about the models you’re making, too. The other models you’ve made look amazing. I think documenting that process would be blog-worthy.

a1Jim – The problem with shelves is that they are crap magnets.

Todd:

It’s great to see someone try to get organized.

I wish it would leap over to me. I know where everything is. But, it’s on top of something else.

I used to build shelving like this all the time in commercial shops when i was 16 years old .
I,m surprised a lot more shops are not not like this . It is basic framing 101 :)
