Sometimes such batches can be mixed to make useful paints, just
don't expect to ever get anything to match well later.

I already have enough paint for my required needs.

making new colours from it, isn't going to create a use for it

All it takes is imagination:

1) what's an apothecary cabinet and why might I want one?

Apparently a cabinet with lots of drawers...

(presumably from the days when a pharmacist would need to stock lots
of leaves, roots, herbs etc).

Spose it would be good for anyone needing lots of smallish drawers -
perhaps an nice way to house ones screw collection!

2) how many DIYers have one of those automated saw things

Which automated saw thing did you have in mind?

The only slightly unusual saw thing he had is an old DeWalt radial arm
saw - mostly replaced by sliding mitre saws these days. (Plus a
"normal" bandsaw and table saw).

The other main machine was a Record combination planer / thicknesser
machine, which will be a big time saver planing all that reclaimed
timber.

yeah, that thing

That kind of thing is quite popular with wood workers - they tend to pay
for themselves fairly quickly since you can prepare all your own stock
from rough sawn lumber.

Personally I prefer having separate machines for planing and
thicknessing. I have a very old (late '40s) delta 6" planer, and a
DeWalt lunchbox style "portable" thicknesser.
