Justin what I have done is contacted local mills and lumber dealers and tell them to set aside any of the rough wood that most people refuse to take. Since i have my own thickness planner I get the roughest stuff I can find. run a metal detector across it and fling it through the planner. Sometime It is like diamonds in the rough, looks pretty bad until you polish it up abit. I have made several thousand dollars from cast off wood just using the epony trick and have made some cabinets that people have seen and want the same, looking me up to build some. It may sound strange but I often find better lumber in used stuff that you can get paying top dollar for in the lumber brokers and yards. It's just money in the pocket when you do.
I know you are young yet and have alot of years ahead of you and have the talent and interest in building so I'm just throwing things at you that I learned over the years. maybe it will be of help and or give you an idea. lol
A single phase 230 volt motor will work just fine on any standard United States single phase 3 wire electrical service. Typically 120/240 volts. There seems to be some confusion about if it is 220 volts, 230 volts or 240 volts. On a 60 cycle single phase system, which is a the standard for the USA the voltage averages 115-125/230-250 volts, usually on the lower end. I have been an electrician for over 40 years and hold a California electricians license. You need to know how many amps the motor draws at 230 volts to know if you need a 20 or 30 amp circuit. Up to 15 amps a 20 amp circuit is ok, 16 to 25 amps needs a 30 amp circuit. Good Luck. If you have a Home Depot or Lowes near you they should be able to help you with finding a qualified electrical contractor if you need one.

if you have 2 seperate breakers powering the 220 outlet it is not wired right..it should be ONE breaker that fills 2 normal 110 slots.. the plug will probably fit the wall.. a dryer plug is 220 and a 110 for the motor, not the same..
the 220 breaker must be one solid switch.. 10 g is correct for wire.
best to run a seperate breaker and wire if unsure..and have a second 220 outlet! like for a compressor or larger dust collector!
good luck

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
