    How can I order wood which won't warp?

    I think sealing the wood fast is the most important part. also when I was at the door factory. Every piece of wood is meticulously sorted looked at and picked for each door. Been a carpenter for 40;years and was gobsmacked in the care in making these high end doors.

    How can I order wood which won't warp?

    I did not read all comments so this could be a duplicate. Wood will always move. Even if I kilNed dried , planed it, etc to perfectly flat wood. Then sold it to someone in the next town. My shop might be a perfect humidity to keep wood from moving. It now goes to someone else's house or shop...

    Buy all the same tracks. You have to adjust your saw a bit to stay tight in each brand of track. If you use all the same track you only have to do it once. If you have a 4 foot festool and a 8 foot Makita track you will have to fine tune your saw base each time you use each track. Gets old...

    Salt and Pepper Mill grinder mechanism set

    They do not work well. Not worth the money at all. A student had one and it tore the wood out and it is trial and error to set the right dimensions to drill holes. Much easier to use a couple of Forster bits.

    Salt and Pepper Mill grinder mechanism set

    Crush grind are the ultimate in my opinion. I buy them 100+ at a time. That way I get them under $10 Canadian each. They allow you to make grinders without seeing the stainless bits and pieces and also the mechanism is ceramic and adjustable grind. Two different types of mechanisms.

    What ideas have you had for reducing Electricity consumption

    I just looked up single slice toasters. Found one at $65. When a normal two slice is $14.. I guess it's supply an$ demand. I wonder if you just disabled one side of te toaster. $14 and a set of wire cutters. Lol.
