Not today, but yesterday, I culled another several boards (which I hate doing because of their size) of the jointed maple panels that I bought at auction. The boards I culled were about 10-12' long and 6-8" wide, but they had odd edge profiles that seemed like they were offcuts from other projects. I hate getting rid of long or large pieces like this even if they do need some extra care to make useful, but I'm drowning in lumber and can't see a project for them in the near future. I've still got probably hundreds of boardfeet of this stuff in the 1-5/8 to 1-1/2" thick range that's all 12 to 13-1/4" wide in lengths ranging from 3' to 10' in both maple and a few in oak. They need to be restacked and moved onto dollies so that I can move them around the shop.
Something to be said for 12v tools. My little Dewalt 12v brushless 5-3/8" circular saw cut through those pieces like butter and didn't tire my arm out nearly as bad as either the 6-1/2" or 7-1/2" 18v Rigid saws that I have, and it really didn't bog down until I got down to one bar on the 5ah batteries.
Today, the weather's not cooperating for me, so I really haven't spent any time out there other than to quickly toss some batteries onto charge. I think I'm going to spend much of today in thinking mode, as I need to figure out a solution for some of my benchtop tools which have not been officially worked into my shop layout yet in any well thought out manner yet. I Also should update my own thread, but I didn't really take any pictures yesterday while I was out there working.
