Pot lid rack!
I was thinking about making one, and had bought dowels. A guy was milling some mesquite wood and he gifted me some random boards—exactly what I needed!
I made a jig to help cut the dowels on the band saw (cutting little things that tend to FWING! to the other side of the room makes me nervous. Wear your safety glasses, friends!).
I used the radial arm saw to cut to length and slight angles on the interior cross pieces; band saw to cut the dowels; drill press to drill the holes. Glue, and a couple of screws. Cost me about $4 for the dowels plus the free wood.

FYI: I made this specifically for my larger lids. The rear pegs are set 2-1/2” apart and stick up 4-1/2”. The near end pegs are 2” apart and stick up 4”.

Experimenting with more paper. @dougbcave I took notes on this time, so any potential students could get similar results. Though i feel like they wouldn’t need much.

@sroriginals wire wrapping class produced some beautiful things that I’m sure she’ll post.
I used two items from Cairenn’s stash, and I love the way they turned out.

Almost forgot about this project. Customer wanted a crate for two dogs and a furniture style top. After reviewing different options, one of my Beraht Stream Table tops featuring a “stream” of loose LED backlit fire glass was selected. The crate is Baltic birch with a pecan stain. The top is live edge English Walnut and the bowties to join the slabs are actually dog bone shaped. My first time using English walnut, but it won’t be my last. Super color variation.

I use proto putty to make the mold. I used a pressure pot for both casting of mold and the resin. I made the stem out of a copper pipet. The proto putty recipe is one part ge silicon one, one part mineral spirits one part corn starch. I put my positive polymer clay model into the pressure pot with pressure to make sure it would not break in the mold making process. I wish i could keep this cool when mixing and use a sonic vibrator to agitate air out proto putty mixture before sliding the mixture in my contain with my positive i wanted to cast. Here is link for proto putty. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D7fwytA5r2Mw&ved=2ahUKEwi5-PD2pKT5AhV1kWoFHev1CZUQFnoECAsQBA&usg=AOvVaw0eLwflkemqL2V3J993ZEWB
