The pain and suffering of recycling timber
Just finished this outdoor cabinet to keep all the bits and pieces. I think the timbers are Red Gum and Ironbark. It stands 3m tall, 1m wide and 0.4m deep. I has 2 coats of waterbased poly.
It's hard work removing the nails, screws, staples, paint, cement and plaster, and it is certainly not worth it to pay a couple of grands for the wood. All I can say is I have well and truly done my bit to recycle timber.

Thanks Alex. I was very lucky this time I didn't get any.

Nails and screws can be a pain and removal often causes timber damage but it's paint that I have the most trouble with. Anyhow, in this case the effort is well and truly justified by the finished product.

OMG what an effort . Nice work .
What did you do to split the wood down ? Bandsaw or Table saw?
All that panel and frame , is it Domino jointed or Cope and stick. The back looks the same construction !
Must be one solid cabinet !
And all that Flatness. Did you Buzz and thickness flat then random orbital sand ?

A pretty good effort for sure! Not only have you got the panels impressively flat you've gone to some trouble to match grain patterns. Rather elegant outdoor furniture....
Cheers,IW
