Lucky Score

We get some pretty large stuff though receiving ranging anywhere from massive bundles of cables to shipboard cabinets. Much of that stuff arrives by freight either on a heavy duty pallet or crate. 2 days ago, I floated an email to the guys in receiving asking them to pretty please keep any ¾ or 11/32 ply for me rather than toss it into the dumpster. Well, this afternoon (after getting my skull drilled by a sadist in latex gloves; read: dentist0 I get stopped by one of said guys telling me that a stack of 3’x6’x ¾” plywood is mine for the taking.
Although this won’t fit in my car and I don’t feel like getting a loan to drive my truck to work, my intentions for these boards don’t require them to be 3’x6’. Remember those 1x2” lumber that I was going to buy for the ribs?

Here’s an awesome new circular saw with an edge guide set to 2”. I got 6 boards to play with and I only need 12 long sections for the upper and lower rib sections. I then need an assortment of much shorter bits. I’d done the math earlier to know that I’d need at least 13 8 foot boards of lumber to make the ribs, but I haven’t rerun my calculations on having only 6 foot boards. Anyway, I managed to provide for myself 19 6' boards that would have seriously cut into my budget.

Oh and I somehow dented in the plastic cover over the camera in my phone so now all my photos look like ass- bent and distorted ass. I found a place to order a new one and I did.
