It's so nice when kindness is retributed...
When on a flash shopping for wood, to fix my chair. Found out that the shop was way cheaper than a big chain I went a few days ago... Like up to 2/3 and 3/4 cheaper... Well, spent 1-hour shopping in such a small shop.
Meanwhile, started talking, telling what I'm doing with the wood and the tools... and eventually asked if she had any leftovers because I would use them.
A little more shopping, a little more talk and she asked, what will you do with the leftovers??
I've started talking about my new hobby, then the why I started this hobby (burn out), and that I'm making machines and tools with the stuff I'm buying...
Left with a big box full of leftovers, even a catalog with fine wood, all the same size...
It's nice when people reward kindness with kindness.
Also, gained a new costumer, never shopping anywhere else again if they have it.

    At least you have shops with ordinary wood not only supermarkets with MDF or other specyfic, highly processed woodenlike bullshit.

    @Gregozor2121 Actually I got something like an MDF but harder.

    And we have lots of pine wood around here due to the woods so it's also a good alternative.

    My problemb is that i dont have anything besides MDF and crappy thin pieces of scrap building planks.

    I would live to get some real wood for my projects: boxes, enclosures, ect.

    Unfourtanetly i dont have acces to any of good materials :(
    I would like to get a realy wide wooden board but it dosent exists there! The only thing they have is MDF! How do they do their cutting boards then?! You know that you cant work with MDF like with real wood. That wooden board would be a good base for my projects (you know you can plain it, drill it, sand it without a problem! Try doing that with MDF tho...)

    @Gregozor2121 Easy, they sell the boards for furniture and use the dust to ḿake MDF and such... Your paying for waste :D

    where you from?
