Today a fellow that posted a few days ago about some stuff he was giving away came up here over a hundred miles!
He brought me some panel clamps, a Clamp rack that would be a credit to any wood shop… and makes my shop look like the wrong side of the tracks. Plus he brought me a couple of biscuit joiners that I have been looking at, but not sure how to use… now I can practice and find out what I need.
In return all I could give him was enough coffee to cause heartburn for a couple of days, but he shouldn't go to sleep on the drive home, LOL.
I also gave him a couple of tiny chunks of punky old scrap wood that he was nice enough to say looked usable for boxes he'll be making.
This fella is a true gentleman, and his Chocolate lab, (I've forgotten her name), is a real sweety!
freidadad, when I get the elm cut, we'll have a good time slabbing it up if you want to help.
Also, let me know if I should talk to my tree guys to watch for any special tree's you'd like to slab up!
BTW…. you forgot to take the piece of Bodark I had set out for you!
Bottom line, make friends with every wood worker you can find… friendship pays!
