Shopping around for Wood.. Make sure you check local options!

Ah, Toledo is a bit far, I’m in Atlanta. I go to Rugby architectural building products for my BB, it’s like 3 miles from my house at most. They don’t cut for me like my old supplier did, so it’s a bit awkward to get it home, but it’s a pretty quick process to cut it down once I do. Man I miss my old supplier, it was nice to come home with a stack of ready-to-go ply. Rugby is a US national chain, there may be one near lots of you out there: https://rugbyabp.com/

Atlanta Glowforgers, got any material sources to share?

Wood: Atlanta Hardwoods went out of business. Sad news, they were a great source. Good prices on BB ply and MDF at Rugby Architectural Building Supplies. They have multiple thicknesses. Call ahead for availability, they have a will-call window from what I understand. http://www.rugbyabp.com/ Specialty woods and veneers in midtown called Carlton’s: http://www.rarewoodsandveneers.com/ Highland woodworking is a good source: Rockler has multiple locations in the city: http://www.rockle…

Sanding Proofgrade

Not super special. Rugby building products. $14 and change for a 60x60” sheet, which cuts perfectly into 15 12x20’s. Sadly rugby doesn’t cut it down, unlike my previous supplier. Hopefully I can find another supplier because cutting the sheet goods down is a major hassle. More info here: The general idea is to find a local supplier and see if they’ll cut it down for you.

3rd project, 3rd day

Rugby building products in Atlanta (and elsewhere?) has it for like $13 a sheet.

Labeling batches of plywood

Rugby architectural building supplies. I get baltic for about $1.20 a GF-size piece (it’s like 15$ for a 5x5’ sheet) The 1/8 MDF is even cheaper, like 7 or 8$ for a 4x8’ piece. As for materials, that’s just ply, you should see my hardwood stash It’s a sickness, man. I gotta stop buying hardwoods.
