I love woodworking with Wes, he's always so positive and never over complicates things
Exactly, he changed my whole perception of this hobby of mine! He really is one of the very few if not the only channel that describes things and teaches things as he does! He’s patient, calm, simple/smart and on top of all, no cinematic and branding whatsoever for his channel that gave it its own positioning! Long Live Wes!
Another good point when picking lumber is to base the widths you buy on your project. If you are making cabinet doors with 3” rails and styles, you want to buy the widths in increments of 3” allowing for cleanup and saw kerf. For example, you would want to buy widths around 3 1/2 or 7”. You wouldn’t want to buy a 5” width because you can only get one rail or style from it and the rest would be wasted
That first piece of lumber you loaded was anything but straight!
I love this man. He is so cool.
If there was a universe where Mr. Rogers did woodworking, it would be Wes.

Excellent work, thank you. I was working with the coalition forces in Baghdad in the American embassy restaurant, and they are honest in what they say.
Thank you, Wes greatly appreciated.
you're lucky none of the wholesalers around here allow us to pick through lumber anymore they pre bundle it in anywhere from 100-1000bdft. The good old days lol
Love your videos enjoooyyyyy the new wood! Will wait for the video of this project you are building 😊
Es cierto Wes! Es muy divertido reponer madera para iniciar nuevos proyectos! Uno se siente como un niño, jaja! Un abrazo!

You buy type and milled or rough and you do not get to pick what you get, you just buy by board foot.
You said the lumber is 4 quarter how milled is it rough or surfaced 4 sides it looks skip planed but not straight line cut. I like straight line one side simply because its less work to start off with one straight side, from that you can straight
line side 2 and move to a cut down to over size parts and either plane and or joint one side square
Moving closer to a straight square stock to bring to finnish size.
Straight line both sides get you a path to run more milling actions.
And come out with usable parts
I am Mustafa from Iraq, I salute you
I want to go to Wes's house to help him play with that great wood he just bought.
Haha 😂
Thanks Wes!
Great videos!
Hi Wes. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! My local lumber warehouse doesn't bring out stacks like that to the vehicle. We have to go through vertical racks inside with a cart and then haul 'em out ourselves. :)
If you are ever able to pick through the wood, suppliers appreciate it if you rearrange and even out the pile again when through.
Great video, Wes!
Cool! Interesting to see how things are done a little bit different in other parts of the country. Would love to know what you paid for that stuff.. Here on the west coast I am paying around $100/sheet for domestic pre-finished maple plywood. Most or virtually all our hardwood is planed down to a nominal thickness (13/16" for 4/4 boards) and will have one edge straightlined. As such I dont own a jointer and my planer is rarely used! I am sure we are paying a premium for the material though.
Every time WES “ the kid in the candy store “ guess that what keeps the kid in all of us alive.
Please use more than a couple bungees for a load like that. I've had to pick up a pile that I lost off the back of the truck and it's very stressful and embarrassing.
Lumber mills paint the ends a particular color so they can identify.
I have always wanted to do woodworking things like you make, but it never because a reality, unfortunately, and now I am still dreaming as I watch you. I have always said that most women love going to a jewelry store, but I love going to a lumber store. I love wood more than diamonds, I guess.
Love the, I guess at the end - lol - let’s be real! Hehehe kidding
@@Jad.Khoury my husband used to buy me jewelry for every occasion, he was the jewelry lover, but I finally told him that I would rather have something more practical and useful. So the following Christmas he bought me an oak dinette set, oak is my favorite wood, and I couldn't have been happier. The only jewelry I wear is a watch and it's just a cheap one from Walmart.
So Wes, nice video. But that tie off job Yikes!
Are you in Idaho falls Wes?
Wile wood grows on trees its not free, so during prossing what are the best steps with the least waste?
IMPORTANT! Never lay the lumber on the ground. Only lay it on the scrap wood provided for that purpose. Dirt, sand and rocks dull their planer and jointer blades. You will get reamed out like a 5 year old.
Curious on how much that load of lumber cost you
It cost $1,200.00. Thanks for watching, Wes
who get the reject stuff?
The lumber yard is a mans equivalent of the woman's shoe store. 😂
That's a good one 😂. thanks, Wes
Stop it with the Mr Rodgers.
