amazingkevin Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 My friend is working in a multi million dollar house and the new owner is trashing lots of things.He's telling me about a dark wide grained big shelf unit she wants gone.If no one buys it's going in the trash.He suggests to make her name and say im poor and this is what i do with wood i find.

WayneG Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am sure that would work but not likely necessary if she wants it gone, I do sometimes make custom pieces for people that give my wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Maybe you should just park by the house and grab everything they trow in the dumpster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPscroller Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nice job on the names Kevin. I get quite a bit of my wood at the landfill, and it still surprises me what some people throw away, good luck on getting the wood.

Thanks for sharing this with us DW It worked out a little,If my friend would have said something earlyer to her about me i'd have a lot of red mahagony.But when he told me everything is in the dumpster come get it i could only retreive a little as sinks counter tops tile and plenty of heavy stuff i can't unlozad over the top of the dumpter to retrieve whats on the bottom.Friernds helping friends didn't work out so good this time.i could only get 5 doors out myself .At least it was better than nothing as i've never had very deep red mahogany if that's what it is before.

Between tryingto make time to strip the dewalt and fix,ihave all the parts and keeping up with scrolling is not working out.I hate to run the dewalt to the ground but i gotta scroll.It's the quality time that win out around here.That's why the shop,is such a mess.
