Nothing fancy, just made from what I had laying around the house. A version of the instructable hanger, but I used a thicker wire. Guess what the marble started out as...
A guess... Ummm...as I said in the other thread: 1) A cheese (cutting) board --or-- 2) The base from a trophy In this picture, I am inclined to think it is #1 above! Does that mean I WIN ONE??? (if I am correct) :happy102 --Morrie
You've got to use what you have laying around Yesterday I made myself a knock-box for my espresso machine out of stuff I had lying around. Why spend 20€ when you can make it for free
Agreed. Turns out the bowl is a bit shallow on the edges for mixing cream. A quick trip the thrift store solved that. Found a couple different ceramic bowls to try.
I made a blade bank out of a coke can. i didnt pop the top. I used a knife and made a slit in the bottom center, then punctured the top of the side. just to make a small whole then filled a glass and drank it. just rinsed the can out and let it air dry. :happy088
I had all these great ideas for a blade bank. Then, while I was at LOWES looking for a sink strainer to make my franken-barbicide jar, I saw their unpainted, empty, paint cans. They have them in quart size and I thought, for $1.98, I can super glue the lid shut (or just let paint run into the channel ), then dremel a slice in the lid. Voila, blade bank. Now, I know what you're thinking, he paid for the can. BUT, the can came with a metal handle, which I planned to attach to the sink strainer, allowing me to pull my razors up out of the barbicide jar. My jar is smaller than the standard 40oz barbicide jar and I needed to make a custom rack to pull the razors up. AND, if that weren't enough. I found a used strainer in the plumbing isle. Someone obviously brought it there to match up with a new one. The rubber plug was damaged, but I didn't need that. So, I got the strainer for free. Good enough? And wait til you see what I do with the breadbox I got today...
Eeeeew. what if it were a poop strainer? I wouldnt take anything out of lowes and that was left there.
But you'll eat at restaurants where thousands of folks have used your fork, which was washed by a minimum wage teenager? You'll buy razors online from people you've never met? I bet you'll sleep in hotels where thousands of folks have laid their head, but you won't take a free mattress from a neighbor. Plus, the "poop strainer" went into a jar of barbicide All in good fun, BTW. I'm not offended at all.
