DAYEM! That's purty!
I think it would look pretty awesome.Thanks, I did not know how this would look, but now I want to clad some walls or make a door with this type of weathered wood.
I made a shoe shelf unit out of left over wood from when I extended my deck. Although I wasn't sure how good it would look, after some sanding and using some walnut wood stain I impressed myself on how good it looked.This is what the Danish Oil looks like on the weathered pine, the grain really stands out.

When I built my new work table, I put three outlet boxes on a stand in the middle of the table. four outlets for the power tools, the belt grinder, drill press, bench grinder and the work light, leaving me with two extra outlets on the stand for any extra needs for plugging in power tools. So far it's working pretty handy.The next project will be a mobile lumber/clamp rack. I need a place to store materials and tools. I will be doing some LED lighting strips and commercial style power strips, I have found some with 14 or 16 outlets, I can center one on each benchtop and have more than enough space to plug in tools not in use concurrently, but ready to go.
Gee, I grew-up on brace & bit, push-drill, mitre box, coping saws, wood rasps, chisels, planes, jig saws, etc. It all worked very well w/o electricity. the only electric tools we had were two drills and a small drill press. Since this is the "Prepper" section,wouldn't muscle-power tools be appropriate?

As I do. Along with assorted axes, hatchets and saws. We even have an 8 foot two-person crosscut saw in the barn.I have 3 braces, a couple of planes, coping saw, assorted hand saws, 2 miter boxes, rasps, files and other muscle powered tools.
I have a crosscut hanging on the garage wall as well, my uncle still used it into the 1980's to cut wood for his stove!!As I do. Along with assorted axes, hatchets and saws. We even have an 8 foot two-person crosscut saw in the barn.
My brother I used it some back in the mud 1970's to cut cordwood to sell. Much harder to use than most might think.I have a crosscut hanging on the garage wall as well, my uncle still used it into the 1980's to cut wood for his stove!!
Thank you, I'm doing it on a "budget", just to see what can be done.That's a nice setup.
Shop classes were the highlight of jr high and high school days! I'm still using a utility trailer I made in high school.Some of the best years of my life was teaching "shop", etc. in the public schools. Lots of good equipment, lots of great students who really wanted to learn, and I was paid to do it!
