Raw_Material.jpgThe Raw Material91 viewsThese are some of the better pieces of the oak beams I scrounged at work. They were used as spacers between about 10-12 inch sewr pipe that were being laid underground. The foreman said I could have them when they were done and I picked all I could that looked even remotely useful. Lots of cracks and checks. There's a reason this oak ended up as sewer pipe spacres versus commercial lumber, but with care you can extract some decent stock.TRexF16

IMG_1031~0.JPGDoors 290 viewsA close look at the bookmatched center rails. These should look very nice when stained and finished. I ripped them out of a beam that was used for stacking highway waterline. Unlike the other salvaged oak in the project, this piece was still kind of green and will need to season a few months beofre I finish the doors.TRexF16

IMG_0996~0.JPGSink installed65 viewsThis is an old but sound cast iron enamled sink my contractor gave me. It was lying around gathering grime at his place, but cleaned up very nicely. I wanted a one-hand operation plus a spray nozzle, and settled on this unit from the Borg. I would have loved something older styled but passed on investing the coin in the fancier stuff.TRexF16

IMG_0993.JPGThe face vise95 viewsSweet old Columbian I scored at the swap meet for $20, with the original handle. It cleaned up nicely. The chop is cut from a piece of live oak I took from my parents' firewood pile. It was from a huge branch split off one of their trees when Hurricane Hugo blew through North Carolina back in '89. It's perfectly "quarter split" and I've been saving it for something nice. You can see the border of the heartwood and sapwood.TRexF16
