Catacombs of Wal-Mart

My nephew works for a "sentenced to serve" program for first-time offenders in Minneapolis. Instead of jail, the offenders do community service jobs--mainly cutting trees and clearing brush at various city parks, snow-clearing, etc. Nephew's job is crew chief on these tasks, supervising the clients. The other day, they cut down a big white oak tree. Knowing that I do woodworking, he asked me if I wanted a rough-cut slab (he's good with a chain saw). I said, "Hell yes!"

This is what I'll be receiving soon. Plan to make it into a garden bench.

He cut that?

From a tree?

Free hand with a chain saw?

Free hand. He said the log section was laying on a hill and he had to cut it going uphill. The guy's got arms bigger around than my legs.

I’d guess you might have a Windsor Plywood store in your area. Those usually have a large, live edge slab, or two, on display. I asked the lumber guy in the WP store here if there was a planer big enough to surface one of those. He said they just used a floor sander.

 

[MaxStout]

I thought about planing the slab, and I know someone with a 24" planer I could bring it to. But since it's going to be a garden bench, really no point. I'll just hit it with a belt sander to knock off the splinters, add some legs and I'm set.

Walked out my gate and this was parked beside our barn. Yesterday he parked across the street. You can't see it but he's alternately eating a sandwich made with a loaf of French bread (un baguette), talking on the radio and talking to whoever is inside.

Do the French enforce mask mandates differently than other places..?

It's French? How come the turret isn't permanently fixed facing behind?

You don't need to face behind when you have 2 forward gears and 13 reverse gears.

Why are they so focused on Corky's place?

Well, with even just a LITTLE research on here, they'd know he makes beer. So, duh.
