Office Revamp

[ScottR]

After 7 years using the desk that came with my office I decided to try something new. I am going to build my workspace with mostly recycled wood. Some of it is going to be old pallet, but the majority of the top is going to be 50 year old wood/subfloor. Here is a pic.

Very cool! I bought an old barn/spud shed a couple years back, I’m still doing projects with all that wood.

Now you need some real old relics to hang on the wall.

A number of years ago while muzzle loader hunting I found a very old 1900 vintage single buck saw. From what I was told there were lumber poachers in the area at the time cutting RR ties until the government showed up. As the story goes they just dropped their tools and ran.

I have also found a double buck saw in a different state, I never did hear any stories about that one.

The teeth on both of them are still sharp enough to do some damage if you are not careful.

That’s cool! I tend to grab specific pallets, I made the valences in our upstairs with them. I have a bunch sanded and waiting for this project.

I had to laugh Scott when I looked at the picture, wondering why a half eaten ice-cream sandwich was on your new bench. Upon further inspection, I saw that it was a folded over piece of sandpaper. If you eat that for desert, then you are sure one tough SOB.

Well, it looks better than what my crazy great uncle did to our entire hunting camp. He decorated by gluing pennies to the drywall. lol

We scraped those off the walls for 30 years because my mother said it looked stupid.

There must have been 50,000 of them on the walls with all kinds of cool designs lol

Looking back on it I wish we never scraped one off the wall and left it just like he did when he left this world. I have never seen anything like it since.

we have a penny wall in an alley in my town. whole alley is filled with graffiti by nutbag "artists"(vandals).

I agree with your mother , it looks stupid.
