But I think for actually butchering meats I prefer the modern commercial grade HDPE as it can be washed and disinfected more easily. The new LED lamps are definitely a great advance. LED lights in general are great. They are very efficient and simply don't burn out. I recently swapped out all the incandescent bulbs in the house and cut our electric bill by two thirds.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-54701834095349388132016-08-27T02:24:12.395-04:002016-08-27T02:24:12.395-04:00I'd love to have a butchers block like that in...I'd love to have a butchers block like that in my shed where I prepare animals! Something solid to chop on and easy to rub down and clean! <br />The other finds are great as well, I love those old lanterns but I haev to admit that all my alternative light sources are LED these days, maybe a few old tec backups would eb no bad thing.Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-24931883296956717942016-08-22T21:05:05.427-04:002016-08-22T21:05:05.427-04:00Yes Gorges, I thought so too.

There's a bit of work to be done to refinish the butcher block counters, but the price was right and it should be a whole lot less work than building them from scratch. I am still licking my wounds from the last ones I built.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-33334611531090712932016-08-22T19:33:12.374-04:002016-08-22T19:33:12.374-04:00Good finds, all!Good finds, all!Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-29735986462406686012016-08-22T16:50:04.971-04:002016-08-22T16:50:04.971-04:00Hi Jaz, after I refinish them, the thirty two inch...Hi Jaz, after I refinish them, the thirty two inch piece will be a prefect fit just to the left of our sink. The longer one I am thinking of using as a separate counter next to the fridge. It may be a while before I get to that. The short cut-off that broke apart, I will glue back together, refinish and give to Peter and Laura.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-36235732735900213442016-08-22T15:53:43.853-04:002016-08-22T15:53:43.853-04:00the counter top went to the right guy! great find...the counter top went to the right guy! great finds all around!jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-84251340169883773642016-08-22T14:43:00.977-04:002016-08-22T14:43:00.977-04:00Que linda cosecha1Que linda cosecha1Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399209326107968220noreply@blogger.com
