Madison has had the opportunity to become the artist in residence at the Chandler, AZ Tech Shop (free membership). She was able to use their equipment for her art work, thus when showcasing her work, Tech Shop would get some of the credit. Her residency has recently expired, so now she pays $75 a month to use their equipment. This equipment ranges from a full wood shop, full metal shop, laser cutters, 3D printers, a CNC router, all to name a few! She was making it rain in saw dust over there. So with Tech Shops assistance, she has been able to plane our pallet wood. "Planes are used to flatten, reduce the thickness of, and impart a smooth surface to a rough piece of lumber or timber." Thanks Wikipedia! Here are some before and after photos. We have a lot more wood to plane, and still even more full intact pallets to cut down and then plane.
Pallet Wood so far is at 1/2 inch thickness. They will very in width, from 1-5 inches, and so far they are varying in length, some are a foot and some are closer to 2 feet. We haven't got to that point yet. But from the photos above, all the planed wood is on the right, and the pallet wood that is just cut and nothing more, is on the left. The difference is amazing.
