The first collection in what is sure to be a long triumphant procession, comes from Pawtucket, Rhode Island USA where fellow miser Steve Chenot wrestles the big riggs by day, but parks it in the wood shop after hours and on the weekends. This 46 year old father of three, grandpa of one, and easy mark for NO pofit monger, stretches his sawbucks to unheard of lengths as he recons local wholesale outfits and lumber yards rescuing would-be casualties headed for the trash heap. In order to make the unit sellable, the company cut the 16's into 12's which produced a good full unit of 12's with 156 pieces of banged up 4's left over.
Plywood is another thing one can get cheap from a local yard .
And just a few nail holes from where it was nailed up in the train car. Then there's Luan plywood. Luan comes in from overseas crated. When the shipment is uncrated, a lot of useable wood is routinely thrown away. It all started several years ago when I was looking for a corner-hutch.
