Making Something Useful out of a Junk Slab

[Okrafarmer]

I thought the original was going to be on of David's benches, or in this case a stool.  He had already made the seat indentation!

Way to make lemonaide from a possible lemon!

IT would make a nice milking stool. My butt would fit right on it......but I have nothing to milk.  :D

Then how abut a milling stool? You do have things to mill.

You can milk those goats that you were going to build a slab fence for.

Now, go do your homework.

I had a guy came to my mill from a molding shop. That is he made wooden moldings for carpenters to use to trim out houses.
This customer of his wanted some siding reproduced that was made by a band mill that had a nick in the blade.
This nick created a lump on the surface of the siding every few inches.
They wanted me to reproduce the siding with the nick.

I took my setting tool and bent some teeth over and tried to do it. Well of course I bent them the wrong way and made a groove. But he took the sample and the carpenter liked it but again he wanted a hump not a groove.

So I bent the teeth straight and that produced a hump.

I got the job and had to produce hundreds of feet of lumber with humps spaced out right and it wasn't that easy to do. But I did it.

And not only did I do it for this carpenter who had build an addition onto a house where he had to match the existing siding, but some years later another carpenter who was repairing some siding on another house in the same neighborhood came over and wanted some siding again with that hump.

It seems this one developer made a whole lot of houses in that area. And he got all the siding from the same place and they all had this tell tale hump on the siding. It seems that everyone liked it and wanted more.

You never know what a mistake will make and when it will come back again and again.
