that piece of wood your dad kept in the garage | Clems massive hoarding problem

mayermakes

I finally found a use for that one piece of wood my dad kept in the garage for decades and I took it over to store it in the basement.
An old laptop, that has all the right connectors you would now never find on a laptop like RS232 with a broken keyboard. A cheap sata SSD with a fresh ubuntu install.
the holy piece of wood (not even a single cut needed) and a trash picked TV mount culminate into a dedicated Laser control computer.

Also featuring a metal bracket that was left over form the latest Element14presents video.

Did you ever use that one piece of wood ? I know you have one there is no point in denying it.

    My Dad was a woodworker.  When it came time to clean out his house, there was wood EVERYWHERE (no lie).  Scraps of every shape, size and type of wood.  In his mind, he had gotten rid of most of it.  THANK YOU, DAD.  Kissing heart   I hauled away over 2,500 pounds of it.  Ever see a gross of wooden yardsticks at someone's house?  How about a 1 foot diameter bundle of 1/4" dowels?  Just because... maybe.  Fortunately, I was able to give the dowels and yardsticks away to another woodworker.
    My son will probably say the same thing of me.

    Yes, I have more than one piece of wood - but I have a whole lot less than I used to.  AND... I'm way more apt to make "that piece" fit what I need it to fit than I used to be.
