Played with some Lumber this weekend...
Bought a Dewalt 13 inch planer and horriable freight dust collector last weekend, to build the fiancee a shoe rack.. 
Made some progress on the **REQUIRED** shoe rack.
Its nothing too fancy, but im getting some practice...All of the lumber except the 4 side risers was cut and milled from cheap 2x4 yellow pine. 
The risers were some "recycled" pallet boards off of a red oak pallet we received a piece of equipment on cut and milled. 
	
	
Now I just need a Joiner.
