Popular Post ChelCass Posted February 4, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hubby and I went to LL Johnson yesterday, it's a good hours drive but the weather was beautiful and perfect for a road trip. Hubby headed to the Machinery section and I bee lined it to the wood Section.......................Talk about a happy camper. $60.00 dollar later I had a nice little pile of lumber. Since I do mostly ornaments and refrig magnets I buy the 5-6inch width boards. FrankEV, meflick, tomsteve and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'll bet you were like a little girl Christmas morning in there. Made some nice purchases for sure. ChelCass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Great buys did husband find anything? Johnson's workbench is my candy store 2 or three times a year. Great place to buy lumber a shop supplies. The best time is during the Wood Expo the weekend after Labor Day. ChelCass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Majority of my lumber comes from LLJohnson's workbench.. a few tools too.. I rarely buy the store boards inside the store though.. I typically buy bulk for wholesale pricing since I can mill my boards to the required size at home. Just was there a last week picking up 10pcs 5x5 BB ply sheets, and a couple weeks ago picked up 120 board foot of Poplar.. That store is only about 30 minute drive for me. I'm about to go back next week and buy another CNC.. They are having a sale plus a rebate.. a $2000 machine will be $900..

Yeah I did, but I need two of them.. .. well maybe not "need" but I've been wanting the laser attachment for it.. but that alone cost $400 ish.. for $500 more I can have the machine with the laser so I can laser on one and route on the other.. My current stand alone laser is limited to a 8 x 10 ish size.. I want something that I can laser large portraits with... My currect CNC work size is 24 x 24 x 7 inch. The smaller one I'm thinking of buying is 12 x 18 x 3.. perfect for laser work.. and if to small it's easy to swap the laser head to the bigger machine.

Nope Hubby didn't find anything he doesn't already have. He has a workshop full of toys. I am running out of ideas of what to get him for Birthday or Christmas.........lol meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
