Forest Products Re-Utilization

KurtP, over at A Trainwreck In Maxwell acquired a stack of pallets a while back, and has been busy planing, planning, and building. Click over to his excellent blog for a look at what can be made of scraps that others throw away. Pretty nice, Kurt. Mrs. TBS has been wishing for cabinets in the utility room; maybe she will let me buy a planer.

Keep an eye out on Craigslist, about a week after I bought mine there were several DeWalts for less than I paid for the Ryobi.

What you want to check is the cost of replacement blades, some are *really* costly, but others are interchangeable.

...And I guess you could use a scissors sharpener to the ones you'll use for your rough wood that has all the dirt and nasty stuff in it.
