Deaf but not dumbMy Grandfather (paternal side0 was a clock nut, had at least a dozen windup chime clocks set about 60 seconds apart . Midnight was a complete clown show, He was mostly deaf, couldn't figure out why nobody would stay over night.

Sorry folks , but its been an awesome year to be a lumber salesman LOL .
I'm putting 2x4's in my RRSP, safer than CDN dollars .
Are you a DIY guy or looking for ready to dine?Any suggestions on live edge dining tables? We are finally starting to look at getting a real dining table and want a slightly irregular shaped one, instead of a perfect rectangle. Ideally one that seats 6 - we may have the room to fit in an 8 seater, but I doubt it.
@crankcall We love the live edge in our bathroom and should get a dining table to compliment it.
Thanks. Probably looking for a ready to dine, but if the piece is really nice, I could be convinced otherwise.Are you a DIY guy or looking for ready to dine?
Slabs aren't cheap and dependent on the species. There are a number of suppliers of slabs but they're curb pickup only at the moment. I want some slightly exotic stuff but need to see the grain before I buy. That isn't happening at the moment.
@sburns may have a piece in his back yard you could get a deal on
Improve Canada (Keele / 407) had a bunch of displays a year or two ago but are under lockdown at the moment. It's interesting to see the different approaches.

Winners and losers like any other time in history.Sorry folks , but its been an awesome year to be a lumber salesman LOL .

Thanks for those suggestions. We will check them out. Not in a rush since we have an old dining table, but it would be nice to get one within the next year or so.retail prices are going nowhere till late fall earliest . mills are still trying to catch up and the bigger projects where a home owner has a crew lined up and prices will come off 15% in November? Well thats 15K off the 100k materials , you wait another yr and maybe ..... the labour doesn't change.
I'll be bold and predict the change will be like most commodities, a 2x4-8 was $2.49 now $8.00 , it may drop to $5.99 but it may never go back to "cheap".
@shanekingsley , we ran through our 'slab experiment' and sold the final thirty slabs off to a retailer in Niagara. The last big coffee tree slabs and the white oak were 60" wide and 14ft long , 2 1/2" thick. Last one is now in the cottage as a dining room table. They aren't that hard to process if you know how , but most weekend woodworkers think too small. My hand held router is 5hp LOL .
We kiln dried all of ours , and that is the secret, DO NOT buy a slab off a guy on kijiji that had them milled and says they are dry, unless you own a moisture meter.
Good sources in the GTA are Exotic wood burlington (they have about 2000 in stock in a second warehouse) , Century Mill north Toronto, Woodshed in Smithville or Talbot Wood in Cayuga
Out with the 16 year old Rotary lift and in with a new Bendpak.
The Rotary was huge and I had to remove the ramps every time I used the lift due to length.
The Benpak being much smaller allows the ramps to stay on Permanently.
Yes these are first world problems.

Most should be happy with 12'. Just be careful if you lift a van so you don't crush it. Many come in two different heights to accommodate lower ceilings. It looks like his posts are <8'.I’ve been toying with getting one of these to free up from floor space.
How much height do you need? I’ve got 12’ to work with...

I am saddened by the obviously themed wall and no pics of car.
