Old hardwoods salvaged from boats
Hello, my family and i restore boats in Florida. We salvage many good pieces of hardwood. They are mostly smaller planks and pieces. I am looking for ideas on what to make with them that i can sell and make some money. Since I am a novice looking for something not extremely complicated. Thank you

I'm certain you have considered cutting boards and/or charcuterie boards. Stars take some patience, but nice way to show off pretty wood. I just build for fun because I'm just a hobbyist. Good luck on finding products that you can make and sell. Tube is a great source for ideas.

Before you attempt making things to sell, maybe you should check out a Woodcrafters or a Rockler retail store. They carry some exotic woods that sell for amazing prices. I know some wood workers that pay premium prices for such pieces of wood. Ensure you have a clean surface of the wood so potential purchasers can see the grain. Will be helpful if you correctly identify the wood. Good luck.

Working Outside?
Do you ever work outside? If so what do you use for a workbench or work surface out there?

I purchased the lot on which we built our retirement house because it was flat enough for me to roll table saw, etc. onto driveway for extended cutting sessions. I use a hollow door on saw horses for assembly and staining. Happy to have a 3rd car garage for inside shop space for first time ever dedicated space.

Chisel restoration
Found some old woodworking chisels in the workshop. Rusty, chipped. Decide to do some restoration. Never done it before. But so far so good. Used white vinegar to remove the rust i let my sit about 8-9 hours. Now I'm set up with my new sharpening kit. Also using an angle hold jig thingy. As I said I'm new haha. Got 2 done so far and happy with the results considering the starting point. I'm using water on my stones for the metal chips. Anyone recommend something else? Or does it not matter as long as it unclogs the pores?

White vinegar is what I use to remove rust, and I, too, use water stones for sharpening chisels and plane irons. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a 80 year old hobbyist and I enjoy learning and acquiring new skills. Thrilled to have some dedicated work space.
