Remember when people on this forum used to build things?
Anyway, I got to help resolve some vicious laboratory politics so this was kind of a win-win-win situation.
A scientist had custom built a Faraday cage to do experiments on mice. Mice that went into this cage did not leave it alive. However, the wood he used was not properly treated, and a mouse could theoretically pee all over it and then have another mouse chew up some of that tasty, tasty salted wood. So he was ordered to destroy it.
Which he did. And put all the wood out in the hallway.
The custodial staff decided that lugging wood out of the building wasn't their job.
So after a few weeks of a Mexican standoff between the scientists, animal use committee, health and safety, and the custodians, I dragged the pile of wood home.

This was chopped into 10.5" lengths. Then I made a little platform out of some leftovers and in a stroke of genius shoved my belt sander into it.

90 minutes of sanding later:

I had one extra piece and about 10" total of scrap. I couldn't have gotten the wood amounts any closer if I had actually gone to a store and paid for it.

My neighbor recently finished fabricating a Jenga set out of 2x4s. We played the other night. Pretty fun. Especially after a few beers. :cheers: Rebuilding the tower after you lose kinda sux tho. I guess that's the incentive to win. Lol!
