This is what I call a scrap wood project. I had a few small pieces of Baltic birch plywood in the scrap bin. They were only about 6" X 6" so I designed a small project to fit the wood. You can cut this project is half an hour. There are only three interior cuts.

Because this is such a quick project you can cut several of these for the grandchildren. There may even be time to get them in the mail before Easter.

Use your color printer to print out an image small enough to fit in the egg shape. The egg is 3.25" tall and 2.5" wide. Cut the egg from the wood and use it as a template to cut out your photo.

If you want to get fancier then use a Xacto knife to cut the photo without the background.

The egg site in a slot in the base. Make the slot and tab a little tight and the photo can be exchanged for a different egg with a different photo.

You can also add any graphic to the egg that you like. The bunny with flowers below is an example.

I wear a shop apron while I am in my workshop:

Buy on Amazon
Currently $14.61 on Amazon

A workshop can be a messy place. Sawdust, stains, glues, and paint can all ruin your clothes. I don't wear my Sunday go to church clothes in the shop but I still don't want to cover my jeans a T's in stains.

I wear an apron to help keep my clothes protected. I know that not everyone likes to wear an apron but this one is such a good deal that it is worth having just in case.

This apron is so inexpensive that I don't worry if I make it gross. I just buy another one. I buy about one of these every year and a half. Not because they wear out. Because they are covered in glue. Yes, I wipe the glue off my fingers on the apron.

Years ago before I found this apron I had paid $50 plus dollars for an apron. I was more worried about getting it dirty than I was keeping my clothes clean. That was worthless to me.

This Bucket Boss apron is well made and fits larger sizes like myself. I would like to have larger pockets in the apron but the three it has gets me by. I do have to vacuum out the bottom pocket every few trips to the shop.

Right now this apron is on sale for $14.61. I just ordered a couple more. That price is difficult to believe, It's normally $23 and that is a bargain. The photos on the Amazon page show more than one type of apron. This is not the full-length apron. I tis the shorter one.
