It will work kind of yellow then turn to a soft brown. At least it does here.

You must be downwind from Gary.

My neighbor tried to tell me it was a cherry tree!

Dusty, you got some really nice cherry pieces and that mulberry looks really great. From the pix, it appears that it will make some very nice projects, especially if you do any turning. Looking forward to seeing the projects from this.

Nice haul on the clamps and stand.

Are you saying that it is good turning stock?

My wife informed me that she was going to help get the trailer emptied today so I had to get a jump start. I don't want her out there doing that but I cannot stop her when her mind is made up.

That being said, this is the result of my headstart this morning. It is about 2/3 of the load.

It is amazing how quickly I can accumulate orders for "little projects" as soon as there is a stack of wood in the shop; and none of the kids know about it yet.

Actually, NO. I will simply not stack the back half of the pile any higher.

Actually, what is going to go on that pile has already been done. There are six or seven more pieces that were added after this picture; those emptied the trailer.

What I hope you are seeing there is most of the materials for my shop cabinets (after the three small projects that just showed up on the "honey-do-list".

What I have to do before any project starts is reestablish work areas for all the equipment that got rolled out to make space. That would be the router table, belt sander, dust collector and chop saw.

That is the real reason you did not want her 'helping you'/'doing it'.


That explains the plethora of outlets! Also explains the 'emptiness'!

No, the real reason was because she should not be doing that sort of lifting. I left the small cutoffs and long narrow pieces for her to sort and store. She will be the big consumer of that stock anyhow. This way she'll know what it available and where it is at.

I plug in to each of those outlet boxes when everything is in place. Now every outlet, just every box. Mostly the standalone SPT and typically only one item will be powered at any given time.

I do power the 2nd Mark V on that line from time to time. Usually in drill press mode.

When I built my store on the farm in 1976 (the existing woodshop I am moving out of) We were mostly selling vacuum cleaners and electric appliances. When I wired the building I put almost all of the outlets at about 4' up the wall. I didn't want to have to always be turning my back on a customer and bending over, butt in the air, in front of them to plug something in. By putting them up at mid-wall I could just reach over and plug it in without interrupting the sales patter etc. and keep making a proper presentation to them. After working with the outlets at that height I became convinced that most outlets should be at that height.
My mother was fairly handicapped and when we wired this house at least one outlet in each room was installed up from the floor so she could plug in her sweeper without struggling to get down to a low one.

A few decades back, my uncle who operated a lumber yard and built houses, built a house for his mother in law. He thought as Farmer does and had all the outlets installed about 3 foot above the floor. The idiot electrical inspector did not. That was a battle royal!!! They are still 3' off the floor!:D
