Any woodworkers?

here till end of 2021

 

Better answer than never coming down I guess. Thanks!

 

I don't think they will go back to "normal" prices till mid-late 2022 though

 

Framing including labour is usually around 15-18% of total house build , framing labour and material costs are usually about 50/50 in a normally framed house so you're really talking about an increase in cost on 7.5-9% of the total cost of building a house being associated with framing lumber

 

I understand. My situation does not give me the flexibility to hang out and wait until prices drop unfortunately. So I will be forging ahead a bit to try to navigate some solution that works and leaves me somewhat solvent for the rest of my life!

 

Looks like it's time to make homes out of paper mache and heat it with wood pellets, the only stuff not sky rocketing right now

 

Picked up last night. Time to see what she’s got and what I got as a newb.

 

Just finished a small side table. It’s ash, stained with general finishes Java gel stain and a coat of odies oil.
Some half laps, blind mortises, and through wedged mortises. Wedges are red oak.

 

Absolutely beautiful

 

Fantastic work, Josh!

 

Nice!

 

Thanks guys. It was part of a 6 week joinery challenge on the makers mob, taught by the samurai carpenter. It was a lot of fun.
