My own lumberyard

General Discussion
#1

well, naming it a lumber"yard" might be not exactly correct. i store the boards in the attic.
if i need balsa wood, i have to import it from europe or the states. that is always a pain somewhere.
so, as my better half put on her “she-who-must-be-obeyed”-hat and ordered a small tree in our garden to be murdered - to make room for a fountain - i took the oportunity.
she liked the idea that i wanted to convert the tree partly into modelling material, instead of importing.
(i think, i will not mention the need for a tablesaw, before the wood is dry…)

at the sawmill they charged me about $6.70 for the work.

it is Timbo wood. nearly as soft as balsa is.

OK Korm, now I have to ask. What is the foam brick thingy next to the lumber?

By the way, nice looking stack there.

#3

That’ll keep ya supplied for good long while…:wink:

Very odd. The photo is not showing up in IE.

But I can see the link in the editor.

If I could remember the passwords for all my accounts…I’d dump IE in a second :wink:

Ralph, try this kormsen.info/thisnthat/bilder/lumber01.JPG just write the http: // before it.

i myself am using IE8 and it shows.

Ken, yes specially, because i have to wait for about a year and a half, before it will be dry.

(should be ready for the jan 2015 challenge…)

I’m using Firefox, and I can’t get it to show, either.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

#7

Steve,

I’m using the latest Firefox (20.0) and the photo shows and the link works.

#8

Joe,

I’m using FF 20.something Beta.

I also have NoScript that someone recommended. Even turned off, the photo will not show.

It is a mystery.

#9

I have no idea what I use but I see it. That is aneat way to get some lumber.

Dave, sorry, didn’t see your post at first.

it is styropour. a castle, i built about 15 years ago for my daugters’ playmobil chevaliers.

now it waits patiently for some grandkids and restauration.

all, i rechecked the pic and the space, where it is stored.

i haeven’t got the slightest idea, why the pic might not show.

#11

Nice bit there Korm. It looks like it would fit in with the trains for the time being

#12

well, yes, it could, if i had a gardenlayout. playmobil is the same scale as LGB.

but this castle has a footprint of 3’ x 2.5’. and my benchwork is prepared to have 3 foot between frontedge and backgrounds.

to include this castle i would have to build an underground trainstation or at least a tunnel below it.

… aaand, i would have less space for new buildings or scenery.
