More on workbenches

I finally “hit it big” on craigslist and picked up the remains of someones deck. I finally got a call in to someone before it was all picked up and now I have a pile of 2x material that needs to be cleaned up.

I’ll end up with a pile of scrap wood as well, but I should have enough here to build at least two of the workbenches I need.

An aside: I’m not sure why people take out their decks by hitting it with a circular saw, then advertise a pile of 2x material that’s all about 15″ long and think that it’s useful. I hope the people that pick it up aren’t burning it as most decks in this area are from pressure treated wood.

Speaking of pressure treated – yes, I do take precautions and wear both eye and breathing protection when cutting this stuff. I’m well aware of the dangers of breathing the chemicals. I have a nice hood that combines hearing, eye, and breathing (positive pressure) protection.

Once I’m done with painting the house (a least favorite job) then I’ll be back to wood cutting.

Now if I could find free wheels on craigslist . . .
