I am useless when it comes to trying to come up with a new way to do something or just a totally new idea. If you ask my wife, she may I could have stopped with 'I am useless" and there would have been enough said already. This is a fresh and fun New Idea and I love it. Dick heppnerguy Thanks Dick, but remember that the ingenuity in this case is Steve Good's, not mine. Having said that, I have that opposite problem to yours in that I am always coming up with new ways to do things and new projects and can only find time to do a very few of them.

Frank Pellow Posted May 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I added a drawer (out of Baltic birch plywood) under the board. I used 14" self closing slides from Lee Valley (02K5235) and this insures that the drawer will stay closed when the board is moved. I've attached a couple of pictures. meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted May 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 The drawer was not in Steve's design, although he tells me that he is now thinking of adding one to his board. We are both thinking of adding a cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Everything looks so neat and precise. A lid with a carry handle would make it complete. Gorgeous. Frank Pellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous. You are right, that would make it complete. I had not thought of a handle in/on the cover. Thanks for the suggestion.

Frank Pellow Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) When I sent a photo of the board with a drawer to Steve Good, he suggested that I add a cover. So I did: A cover is exactly what was needed. I made one out of Baltic birch plywood remnants, attached it with 3 draw latches and installed a wooden handle on the top.. It is quite heavy, but easy to transport. I hope that this project is finally complete.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Very nice work all aspects of it. I am not a stick people fan but steve does a great job with his patterns. I saw on Facebook the other day someone did a cool thing with the stickmen projects and that was made them big enough to accept a small picture frame and used his friends and family in the frames. Makes some meaning with the stickmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
