Don't you mean, they are awaiting your survivors to give them to
someone else? LOL

Although I shouldn't talk.. I got a great deal on some Oak 2 x 2 at
habitat.. 25 cents each for pieces
4 feet long.. too good to pass up, so of course I had to buy all of
them (about 40).. Haven't figured out a use
for them yet, although I convince myself that I will eventually LOL.

A gallon of glue, some clamps, some time, and you have enough material
for a small table for a bedroom, hallway, etc.

Of course, now you are going to need a table lamp for itG.

That's a pretty good idea.. I may do that when I get some time..LOL.
Too big of a backload of projects now. I turned down a pretty good deal
on about 150 board feet
of Mahagony.. because I know it would sit in the shop for a few years
before I figured out what to make with it.
I guess I'm on the road to recovery.

Oh lets not go there. I am get scared walking into the Habitat shops.
Thank God I don't have a bigger Truck or I would buy them out of wood
at times.
