hello ww's
here is the next installment for the shop tour. I wanted to show you all my most recent addition, which is where I store a lot of my wood. It is not heated and therefore the wood is at 12% moisture. I also store a fair amount in my main shop which is heated and that wood is @ 6-8% ( this is the wood I will be using for projects ). I move the wood in to my shop when I am in the planning process. The little building is about 14x20 and as you can see from the photos half of it is for storage and the other half is for pulling and evaluating the wood for the project. Once it is pulled it moves into the heated shop. Each "bin" can hold about 1000 bd feet if it is full to the top with 10' lenghts.
I have quite a few boards in the 18 to 20" wide range, but as I have indicated in prevous posts they do present unique problems, and often get ripped down to narrower stock. Enjoy. I believe that the next shop tour will be taking a look inside the red building.
