Topix Underground

I have a Craftsman jointer that I bought at a flea market for $35 and a WEN thickness planer. That and a table saw make it easy to mill construction lumber into anything I want it to be. I have the Harbor Freight router table too that does tongue and groove. It's like the pioneers. They made their own furniture - Shaker style - functional, humble, Godly.

Also, I think some Shaker broad invented the circular saw...Kizzy Borden... I think.

I saw this picture somewhere. I'm going to build 4 kitchen chairs. the dog Willow destroyed our old ones.

Eventually all the furniture in this house will be made of scrap wood I picked up at job sites. It's so much easier than having to drive somewhere and deal with buying furniture.

They look good to me .

They would be nice with a golden brown finish. I used to buy garage sale wood furniture and refinish it myself. My Father bought me a small sander. It worked like magic.

Good furniture is hard to find and when you do, it cost a fortune.

It was crazy. I would get solid oak, pine, adorn you name it. I never paid more than 10 bucks apiece.

those days are gone forever.

I really cleaned up at one garage sale. The couple was getting divorced. She cheated on him. He was living in the house and selling all the furniture she had picked out for next to nothing.

That bitch!

The sky’s great in the winter. The air is clear and stable. But it’s just too damn cold here in the middle of night in the middle of winter to be wandering around outside
