Does the bottom of your closet look like the picture sent to me from Eugene? I have to admit that my closet is not very well organized. Eugene wanted to know if I could design a storage system for extra hangers. I tried to come up with a system that would save as much space as possible. Having the hangers vertical seemed like the best idea.
Using the 16-inch dowel you can probably store about 35 to 40 hangers.
From Eugene:
Lots of people probably have piles of extra hangers. Maybe design a low hanger rack. I appreciate and enjoy your patterns.
This is fun to watch:
Most of you know that I keep a close eye on YouTube for interesting woodworking videos. There is one genre of videos that is pretty much useless but I still love watching them. There are many DIY scroll saw build videos on YouTube. I have never seen one that would actually be useful for the type of scrolling that we do but watching the creativity is interesting to me.
This video grabbed my attention because the builder puts absolutely no effort into making it look pretty. He gets right to the point of making the blade go up and down. I love the simplistic approach and basic materials he used. Other than the motor he does not have $2 in this saw and it actually works. Well, it kind of works.
Please understand that I mean no disrespect to this builder. He is being creative and making use of what he has available. This kind of experimenting often leads to great ideas.
Personalized Christmas Ornament Patterns:
I am still making good progress on ornament patterns. I should be able to get caught up today. If you have orders in the queue, keep your eye on your email inbox.
The price is $1 per name with a 5 name minimum. I keep the price as low as possible
because I want everyone to have a chance to make these ornaments for family and friends.
You only pay after you have received the order and are
100% satisfied with the patterns. Invoice included with
the pattern email. Pay by credit card(secure Paypal), check, or cash.
The patterns will be emailed to you after they are completed.
Please allow up to a week for delivery.
You can use last names on the ornaments if you like but remember that the more letters the more
difficult they are to cut. Ten letters and up gets pretty small. If you need to you can enlarge the patterns by 10% to make the interior cuts larger. No special characters are supported. I can get a hyphen in there but it looks odd. It has to connect the two letters so it does not just fall out.
$12 per sheet of 12 coins plus $3.50 shipping
