Rob hooked me up with some Maple he had just cut. One had a whole bunch of greyish/purple stains through it. Such a shame as it was a nice piece of wood, so I burned it.
I wanted a steady rest for some upcoming projects. I saw some of the homemade ones and decided that was what I wanted to do. It's not professional grade and I made a couple cutting errors, but it's tight and the wheels spin freely. The most expensive part was the 12 pack of Coors Lite for my buddy who operates a Shopbot. Wheels I got out off some old rollerblades from Play it Again Sports for $20 and have 4 more for Rob. Can't wait to start using it.
P.S. Just kidding about burning the Ambrosia Maple.
