I don't think I have to live in that kind of world... but on second thought we never know what kind of neighbors will be next door?? When I used a 250 gallon propane tank and mounted it up and down for a tank to pressurize the lake water for the sprinklers I did have a couple of people ask some questions and I just said, wow, I just now noticed it and went in the house. I do have a cone and some fins to weld to it to kinda look like a rocket ready to launch so that aught to raise some eyebrows...I think I can order one of those things that smokes all the time and mount it down under the bottom so maybe they will stay in their house afraid to go outside thinking the count down has already started.....

Cal are you forgetting to post  pictures of your new found hobby or have you guys been on one of those 120 day trips around the world.

Not sure what that new hobby is Jess?  As slow as I am (or seem to be), perhaps you are confusing my ongoing remodel with a "hobby"?  If that's it, rest assured, it is not a hobby.  A "once and done" - or at least I hope so

 

I do enjoy reading along with your projects and commentary.  Say hello to the Missus for me.

Bob did you first put clear packing tape on the wood then spray the stickum on to the tape then apply the pattern....

  Jess I normally do but for some reason I skipped that step this time. I realized the problem earlier on and set the project aside, when I went back to it a couple days later I was glad that the other patterns had fallen off. I have been using the contact paper, from wally world, since @Gene Howe mentioned it in a post. I did go back and apply the paper back over the wood with a small ink roller then used my awl to open the entry holes and reapplied the patterns.

 Never to old to learn, again.

Bob I had to build a tape dispenser with a lid to keep the saw dust off

 I'm still from the old school of thinking of just throwing the roll on the bench with everything else and let it get all nicked up on the sides and then spend half a lifetime trying to peel off a piece that doesn't rip before you want it to.

Yeah, and I promise someone will turn me in and the Men In Black will be paying me a visit.  Already got a visit once for building my kids a space shuttle in the backyard.  

 

 

I’m thinking you’re the cool Dad of the neighborhood.

This is kinda like saying "Hold my Beer", you are just tempting Father Murphy......

Cal I thought maybe the glass etching was something new you are getting in to and I am wanting to see more......
