Llama Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Moving to Colorado soon. Actually have a place already.. Just waiting for the current house to sell. Where are the good lumber yards in Fort Collins area? Thanks, and if you're in the area see you soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradpotts Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hey I live in Colorado! I live in the Springs though so I buy my lumber there. No need to go further north. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodger. Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Japan would have been quite a change! I hear Colorado is nice, I'll have to check it out someday. Though, we do have some mountains here in the great north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llama Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've been in Ft Collins, CO for about a week now. I love it! Going to visit some lumberyards this week, and see what's out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to visit some lumberyards this week, and see what's out there! Awesome ! How big a space do you have for your shop there? You might have told me but I can't remember.

I have plenty of room to set up a bench to work on a few things I have planned. For instance, I'd like to work on my hand tool skills for a bit... I do have a project coming up, it will be very interesting without a tablesaw, but I should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llama Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Found a great lumber yard! It's about 5 minutes from the house, and they have everything! In addition to being a great lumberyard, they are also a Sawstop and Festool dealer. They also have the usual stuff Woodcraft carries.. glue, router bits ect.. I was blown away when I went in there. Nice people, great selection and overall good pricing on the things I'll be needing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
