We're getting ready to party like it's 1999. Oh wait,…
The woodworking group here in Las Vegas, Sin City Woodworkers, is having our annual Christmas party at my shop in about a week. This is always a fun night, but this year I think it's going to be extra special. I issued a challenge to the group -giving them the
2 x 4 challenge of 2013
It's a simple challenge - make something out of an 8 foot long
2 x 4.
Oh, it's okay to add other things, like hardware, dowels, paint, biscuits, dominoes - anything but more wood. (Yes, I know dowels, biscuits, and dominoes are wood, but these are also building supplies. So they're allowed.)
For the roughly $3 that a 2 x 4 costs, it's a cool project to showcase everyone's talent.
During the summer, when I would ride my mountain bike around the neighborhood, I came up with some terrific ideas in my head. Of course that was June, July and August - and I thought I had all the time in the world to make these projects. Now it's only a week away, and you know what's happened... I barely have anything started!
But the good news is–I had an epiphany a couple of days ago and made a really cool entry in just two days. I'm not telling you what it is - the entries are going to be voted upon, and the winner gets a Lee Valley gift certificate.
I was fooling around on the Internet and found this video, this would be a terrific 2 x 4 project. In fact, I might still make one of these. I'd love to have one hanging in my office at the woodshop.
