Big Box store near me had some really nice SYP the other day, so on impulse I bought a good bit and brought it home. need to know who makes an affordable moisture meter, or how to tell when it's dry enough to start gluing up into a top. Cut it to length at the Store, because I drove my Miata in to pick up some air tool fittings for another project. Bought some lumber for framing up the base for a sharpening-dedicated work table also....it all fit in the car, barely. Stopped for a cup of Java at the local drive through, got some funny looks from the lady at the window....
