Yeah, for me it was all about the picture of the table - it sure looked like someone went to a homecenter, bought 2 planks (an 8" wide and a 6" wide) and 1, 2x2 8' long stick & banged a table together pretty quickly...<BR/>...and that it would come apart back in to those components as quickly. (grin)<BR/>I like the way you repurposed, but as a woodworker, I just saw the parts. And even for $14 for the wood, you still got a great deal over the homecenter price for those boards & as you said, there is a cost for even free materials.Quinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962804657960962117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526425684251199337.post-69662481700751530792009-04-09T17:30:00.000-07:002009-04-09T17:30:00.000-07:00You are so right about finding wood for nothing. H...You are so right about finding wood for nothing. However, I wasn't shopping for wood at all. I just popped in to Goodwill to see what they had. So, for $13.99 I got the wood, about two hours or more worth of my time (which I would spend building a bench) the cost of the electricity to cut the lumbar and the gas to go pick up the free materials. Don't get me wrong, I like your frugality. I am very careful about how I spend my money. It's a huge time saver to have an assembled base to start with. Thanks for the analysis. Keep up the clever salvaging.flipt studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474858626374011045noreply@blogger.com
