2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5

I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

Okay, are we talking about "boards sold as 2x10s might vary in width from board to board?" Because I took you to mean that a given dried and milled 2x10 might move up to an inch, which it had better fucking not. Because yeah, the likes of Georgia Pacific are going to be a bit sloppy with the final dimensions of 2x10s, because it rarely matters that much for what that board is going to be used for.
I'm a woodworker, I buy rough sawn lumber dried over a period of months, I shop dry it for a couple weeks then mill it myself. I can predict with a fair degree of accuracy how much it will move.
A sawyer is an occupational term for a person who operates a sawmill. My sawyer's name is Bill.
Okay I just wanted to make sure you were talking out of your ass. Your mill and miller uses hand tools? Because that’s what a sawyer is dude…
Give it up. Yes a 2x10 can move 1/2 while drying, if you used them, you would know and understand this.
From Wikipedia:
Operator of a sawmill = sawyer.
A 2x10 can move a half inch while drying? Sure. It shouldn't be "while drying" while the construction crew is installing it.
Follow those wiki links, they all use hand tools, to use it to refer to one who operates machined mills instead of manual in a sawmill would be incorrect since there is already a term.
A miller operates a machined sawmill.
The word "Sawmill" from my quote was a link. This is the first picture on the page it links to. Hell of a hand tool that guy's using.
You're not only stupid, you're dishonest. I bet you vote Republican.
Yes the link that refers to SAWMILLS as a whole, where there can be millers who use the tools you linked, and sawyers who would use the tools used in the other links.
Who’s being dishonest? You’re claiming you work in a field you’ve shown zero actual education in.
