As for the Christmas project, I'm thinking of making CD holders. I never have enough CD holders, and I hate the metal ones, the CD's always fall out. I'll have to think of a neat design, I want to make them look good as well as be functional.
Darnit though, why was it that when we were kids, Christmas took forever to come. Now, it's right around the corner and before you know it, it will be here.
Christmas really is for children. I want to be 10 again. WAAAAAAA! ;)
Good start!
Making a CD rack,any ideas how?
Wood dowels and a few 1X's maybe?
Definitely dowels, probably pine because I have tons of pine handy and it's easy to work with. Of course I'll router the edges, but I think I might make it fancy, not just rounded edges. I also do wood burning, so I'll probably burn a pattern into the sides. Then I'll just put a high gloss laquer on it and voilą, instant CD rack. ;)
Okay, that was easy, now I just have to do it. ;)
Pine CD racks might be a bit heavy though. Hmmmm, I might have to give this more thought. Pine also isn't fun to burn, it has too much grain and my wood burning tool isn't the best, not hot enough to make an impression without putting a lot of pressure on it, so I have to work against the grain, and it isn't always easy.
Oak is out of the question, burning oak is not fun. Maple, too expensive.
There go the plans. ;)
Cedar! Cedar not only smells good, burns easy, but it's also pretty light and very easy to work with.
Cedar it is. Ooooh, cedar isn't cheap either, at least not for the good stuff.
Nope, I'm sticking with cedar. Ahhhh, burning cedar, there's nothing better. :)
How about old weathered barn siding?
I not only live in an old converted barn,but stock around 2000 feet of old siding,it burns real easily,simple to work with,lightweight,takes finishes very well,hmmm now to ship some to you... lol
We make a lot of projects from the old siding,neighbors tear down a building,we get the wood,nice.
They really don't know how much it's worth,in the suburbs of Chicago it was going for $1.70 a foot!
Just an idea.

Wow, I'd love to work with some old weathered wood. I have a dream of making a beautiful kitchen table out of weathered old wood, or an entire tree, with the bark left on for the edging. I'm terrible at describing things, can you picture it?
That actually reminds me of a beautiful mail box a friends Uncle made one year. It was a log that he hollowed out and then cut in half. He put hinges on and made a mail box. I love the look of it, the bark, the fact that it looks so natural. He put a low gloss spray laquer on to keep it looking natural. It's absolutely beautiful.
Hmmm... how much would it cost to ship some wood from Illinois to Alberta? It might be cheaper to find my own barn, in the dark, late at night, when no one's watching. ;)
I've got to run, time to pick up the rugrats from school, then I have to do some cleaning, play with the bunnies, the dogs, maybe the bird. Can you play with a fish, might be interesting to try. ;)
I'll be back later. Take care KBC. :)
Did anyone hear about our spaceship landing lastnite here in Alberta? ;) LOL! It was blindingly bright! I guess it made the news in Florida where my parents live! They still haven't found it to confirm what it was.
They're coming to take us away us away... ha ha... ho ho... hee hee... they're coming to take us away! ;)
YouTube - meteor.wmv
Hope someone gets a better video.
Wow, really Starby? I didn't notice anything. Wow, I really do live in a box. ;)
You didn't see it? It was freaky! I can't understand why they haven't found whatever it was. It had to have been HUGE! Unless they did find something weird, and are just not releasing the info to the public. They were interviewing people on the news lastnite in Edmt. They figure it was somewhere near the AB and Sask border. I guess there were people stopped all along the hwy's
Okay, I watched the clip you posted. This happened at 5:30am, no wonder I didn't see anything. ;)
Thanks, all is fine. And I can see that they are with you also.Quote:

I saw nothing. I never get to see the great stuff. If aliens landed I'd probably miss that too, I'd wake up and everyone would be gone. ;)
