Well here at the Tucker house we don't just brew or cook fine foods, there is a wood shop. Connor has a love for woodworking and creating things from reclaimed wood. He has made the flower, tomato, herb and hop boxes along with a few cutting boards for family. We are frugal here, not because we are poor but because we like a good deal! Connor has purchased his three biggest power tools on the famous craigslist. He finds all his reclaimed wood from the basement of the Pastime Saloon, Daryl's folks shop, and a few customers from the bar's donate some hard woods. He's running out though.
The beginning picture are of two beam pieces that came from the Pastime's basement. After cutting in half and running through the planner (right above). The planner is made by Grizzly. Probably the favorite tool in the shop!
After the pieces are planed and evenly smooth, they are ripped on the table saw.
These lengths and sizes are for cutting boards.
Titebond II wood glue is FDA approved for cutting boards. Below are a few cutting boards and projects that have been done in the past year.
