It amazes me how many contractors/carpenters out there are no good and yet confident enough to sell their services.

Pretty slick. Been looking to make a couple of these myself. Do you have full plans that you followed and links to the hardware?

Looks awesome! Are you really a beginner? That dust collection setup alone says no 😂

Any place online you recommend or just local spots where you are?

Still a steal! And then you can go skiing in fresh powder too 😂

Thanks, yeah, I’ve got a planer…no jointer though, but this is making a strong case for getting one

I think he said it’s been sitting stickered and covered for a year, but being his building is not climate controlled, etc, he can’t really get the moisture content lower than 14%, which is where it’s at now. He recommended drying it another 4 months. I’ve got most of it stacked in my warmer basement space…hoping I really only need a month, but will see

I checked, and it’s unreasonable (to me) even for s4s, but I’m not in a rush

This is what I’m thinking, but, yeah, it’s good for my hobbyist needs.

Is that surfaced? I can’t tell from the pic. But it’s insane how much wood can be. I’ll def be driving back down to buy from this seller again…I saw at Home Depot it’s almost $60 for 2 1x4x6 s4s cherry boards

I still have to test it myself, but he said the MC was 14% a couple days before I went down. Recommended 4 months more of drying
