kmealy 13,461 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I knew Chris (and Steve and Jim) during those early days of PWW. Their office was in a basement of an art-deco Coca-Cola building near Xavier U. And I remember seeing that "door workbench" in their shop there. I like his discussion about SYP -- I have used it for quite a number of shop (and other) projects in the last few years. Menards carries #1 but HD and Lowe's only #2.

Popular Post kmealy 13,461 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Somewhere along the line, maybe even from a conversation with Chris, I started using SYP meant for floor joists. It appears that it is more knot-free than say 2x4 or 2x6. (Besides, Menards does not carry 2x4 or 2x6 SYP) I rip it down to the widths I need. I've used it for my own workbench as well as several for the furniture bank and theater shops. Fred W. Hargis Jr, Cal, p_toad and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
