savethebeer Posted January 5, 2019 Report Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I've had a productive December and all were very well received. I made 13 Schwibboggen, varying in size from 9 inch up to 20 inches. They were lit by LEDs bought in IKEA for €2. (Went back for more in December and price was now €20 for the same 12 leds). Another thing I started experimenting by painting my items in Acrylic. The above is BB on the front layer with white plastic as the back layer and is about 9 inches long. The above was done in winebox wood, and about 6 inches long. [its unfinished here] Then it was time to move on past Christmas so I decided to make a clock toy for my Grandaughter who is 2 years old on the 21st. I used drawer fronts of 'solid Pine' which of course turned out to be nothing of the sort, it was MDF with pine veneer. I changed to a Pegas # 7 reverse many weeks ago and found the going was so good that I made 3 clock toys. Even had time for a 50th Birthday present for a friend [he's a conductor is my band] Edited January 6, 2019 by savethebeer Foxfold, Jronn65, spotsdad and 5 others 8 Quote
