Sawdust maker

Postby egghead » Mon May 01, 2017 1:01 pm

Been busy so haven't lit the pit for a while. Won't happen soon either - we're off to Louisiana the to St Jude's in Memphis. Taking our grand niece for a follow up.

Pulled some of my toys out to make some sawdust (I could be a professional sawdust maker but since I don't get paid for it, I'll have to settle for amateur sawdust maker) building a king size platform bed for my son.

That looks really nice. Definitely looks nice enough to get paid for!

Hope the checkup goes well.

Nice wood work, that pic of your garage is exactly how I knew it would be, spotless and everything in its place. Unlike my mess,lol. I recently was at a wedding and I had to go into the garage to get something, it was exactly the same as yours, except he had carpet on the floor,lol. I too would pay for your work.
:D

No carpet on the floor but it is painted. Gets kind of dusty so I clean up after a project and mop 8). Sounds crazy but yes I mop.

Mopping isn't crazy, my wife does it all the time, our kitchen floorings patterns have nearly disappeared,lol. I can't work with wood, I like metal though, you can weld it thicker or grind it off, just my messy style.lol.
