Welcome to the first annual Spring Sanding event

I have been saving small cut-off pieces of wood of all shapes and sizes with the hopes of one day finishing them as sets of unique and fun play blocks for my kids. The time has finally arrived and I have hundreds of pieces just waiting to be sanded and made into sets. I plan on selling enough sets to pay for the sander I am going to purchase for the shop, and still have enough for my son Taylor to have a set.

I am in the initial stages of developing a reconstruction effort at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale. Planet Granite is a rock climbing gym and they are removing a whole section of their outdoor climbing area and I am attempting to save some of the structural steel to use in an educational project. This is the homepage for this project, and will closely link to the educational component on Plumbob.org/Education.

Welcome to the Reconstruction Shop which is located in a single family house in Sunnyvale, California. We use building materials that would otherwise be sent to the landfill, or to energy intensive recycling centers wherever possible in this shop's production.

We like the term Reconstruction since it is focused on outcomes rather than the seemingly insurmountable task of salvaging the immense waste stream from the Construction industry's current practices. However salvaging materials and organizing them is a core function of this shop. You will find links to News, our store, and to various projects being worked on below.
