Thx Duck! Yeah, ‘material cost’ vs. sell price / value. Then there’s the cost of salvaging what came that that way, and storage costs (years in many cases), etc.
One of the things about projects like this is taking material ‘collected’ over the years -stuff that I had no idea what I’d ever do with it- and putting it to use. The top board is a prime example. It’s a real POS, actually, but it was over 4’ long and 18” wide… a single board, and I saved it for likely over 20 years from one of dad’s tear down houses. It’s perfect for this counter.
Fun stuff.
And thanks all for the comments!
