I wasn't in the shop last week, I wasn't feeling good, so no updates to mention. I just studied and did a couple software instructional vids for the guys at at the CNC board where I learn tons of stuff.
I took the boy to fetch lumber this morning. I got a crazy deal on 3 1/2' shorts, like $1.25 a bd/ft for cherry. It's around $4.00 bd/ft when I buy long boards and cut them up.
The cool thing is that all my panels are like 28" tall, so this not only saved me money, but a LOT of work. It's only like 1/16" over 3/4", so I have to plane it very little.
I dragged home a good $2000 of lumber for $600 cause I hit a few discounts for volume, too.
I didn't expect there to be any shorts at all because I cleaned them out last time I was there. When I saw how many were there, I couldn't believe it.
I'll have enough to do both desks and start the the other two pieces I have to do. That's a kickass Monday, right there.
