Half of the boards for the shelving build. So lucky to have a carport to work in. Knocking down mill scale with 220 grit and then prep with 400 grit. Sealing with Daly's Ship n Shore (my personal fav). #carpentry

I do not know the proper name of what I need. Imagine a metal washer (for building), but instead of being round, it is somewhat elliptical and instead of it having a hole, it has a bit of a slide instead. The idea is I want something that can slide up and down up to a quarter inch either way to allow for thermal expansion while staying held in place.

What is the name of the thing I need?

Edit - It's an Oval ID Washer. Thanks for the help!

This is soooo clever: cut a curved table leg from a narrower straight piece of wood of the same height. Using just THE ONE piece. I thought it was a trick question or a joke at first, where there is no true solution, but nope: the technique uses the offcut as well. So very clever!

I needed some boards for garage shelves. Home Depot is close buy, but they support fascists. I tried OSH across town (originally Orchard Supply Hardware, resurrected as Outdoor Supply Hardware). A fine store for plenty of things but kind of ridiculous prices for wood. Ended up at an old-school lumber yard in San Carlos, "OK Lumber". I've seen people around town with T-shirts from this place, that say "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK", so I've been predisposed to like them a bit. Anyway, I found some cheap cedar boards there. They were intended for fencing, and pretty rough, but it was a quick job to sand them smooth. And now the garage smells really nice.
(This is hardly #carpentry but I'll throw in the hashtag anyway).
