No progress on getting the shop up and running in any particular capacity yet, unless you want to count me having the planer sitting on the floor. :)
The good news is I DO have my planer again, and the tablesaw (although it needs a little love – it experienced some surface rusting. Just a little bit.) and I think I have most of my other small tools, like sanders and drills and saws. Not quite sure if I know where they ARE yet though…
My growing collection..
A lot of maple, a significant amount of cherry, and even some SYP. And of course, some generic SPF construction lumber. Our volunteers have been told to keep any wood that isn’t significantly damaged and ANY hardwood.. So there is some junk wood in there but it’s easy enough to sort through it later.
I ran a piece of that plank flooring through the planer. Woohoo! Look at that pretty wood.
I’ve got just under 6,000 square feet of it at 4/4.
Can’t wait to start removing the rest and getting it ready for sale!!

Suggestion: With so many skinny pieces of wood, perhaps you could use some of it to make a cleat system on the walls to make it easy to reconfigure.

Either that or you could make a few thousand pens :-)) (Just need to find an experienced turner, a few midi lathes, and some willing students.)

That, actually, is exactly my plan. I also wish to sell a lot of it as pen blanks.
