Haven't done much in the woodshop lately because of the cold. This lady just opened a new pet supply store in town and asked me if I'd make her a few items. She sends me some photos for me to review of the items she'd like. So I say sure and we work out a wholesale price if she takes everything I can make out of one sheet of plywood. Sounds good to me... I'll get out of the house, crank up the radio, have a few beers and make a little cash. If... repeat... IF everything goes right I can take a $53.00 sheet of 3/4" birch plywood and turn it into $160.00 in a day. Everything goes downhill from here... 1st I have to fire up the old FULL SIZE Chevy truck to go get the plywood. There goes about $12.00 dollars in gas. Then while I'm in town I have to get the beer. So I get a $13.00 12 pack in case I have problems. So I get to shop and unload the 4' x 8' x 3/4" piece of wood. After setting up saws I whack the sheet up into the parts I need. Then a $30.00 router bit breaks. Back to town I go in car and another $7.00 in gas. I get back and put all the boxes together and it's time to sand a little where needed. I sand 1 box and my $60.00 Dewalt palm sander STOPS! I quit... grab beer... go home.
Now after this morning coffee and breakfast back to town I'll go for new sander. With NO MORE PROBLEMS ...I'll only lose $15.00 on entire project. Might make another beer run also.... stay tuned!!!!!!
