Thread: collecting timbers

Argh, your pretty safe for now , it's when you start bringing it inside that you have to start worrying

i bet your popular,

You got to get a standard size before, you start keeping it in the toilet "because is smells good" pen blank size is good but slightly wider to show more grain would be better. I think there is an actual "standard" then you can display them easier and / or store them any.

Good luck,
Steve

Err, yeah, storing timber inside. Um, yep, that's me I've timber stashed in at least 4 rooms in the house .

I have about 200 tons of furniture timber and I d'ont have any in my house but I do have 3,500 sq metres of sheds sorry I like my sheds

yes collecting wood is great fun but its the sorta thing that can get a bit out of hand. In my last giveaway about 5 barrow loads went to people and i have probably collected as much since, theres just so much wood around to be collected....really need a shed in the next house..

here some pics both inside and under the house...

You all are fine from your pictures. I'm the one with a problem.

Oh, and I'm convinced it starts the first day you buy some.

would like to take you up on that offer one day what a beautifull place,where were you before there.bob

Well the disc sander table is covered in turning blanks, the left side of my workbench is covered in Kwila, Cypress, Cedar and some other goodies. Behind said workbench are a few silky oak logs, Pine, "Borrowed from the council" gum and more. As well as some random legths lying around everywhere. But I guess it's not too bad...


Tut-tut Robyn. All neat and tidy and organised. Very UnAustralian.


Hey Reeeeeves, buddy. I'm over in Meringandan. Maybe I can nip over there and grab a few chunks

If you need to ask this question, you already know you're too far gone for recovery. Might as well just keep on collecting.
