last night i got a little frustrated that my packages of scale lumber were taking up an entire shelf so i decided to do something about it.
(that's less than half of them)
so i went to the hardware store and bought a 5' piece of 1 1/2" pvc pipe, set up the chop saw, and cut the pipe in five inch sections (the fence on the saw wouldn't lock), washed them very well, and painted them with a red primer from ace. i then took a piece of masonite and cut a 8x4" piece for the bottom, and a 8x7.5" piece for the back. i cut a piece of pine 2x2" and epoxied the back to it and clamped it for a few hours. then i took the back piece and epoxied it to the 2x2, leaving an inch below the "shelf" for screwing in to the wall (that is why there's such a gap in the top row).
now my scale lumber is organized, and when i get paid friday i'm going to order 2 more packs of 2x4, some 1x4 and some 1x10 (for shakes). the unlabled tube has 4x4"s in it right now.
i'm feeling alot better about the state of my scale lumber now......
and i'm feeling kinda smug, cuz look at what i did!! yup, i cleaned it off. once the rr camp was finished and i cleared shelf space by finding a new home for my scale lumber, i took the plunge.

that's what i get for cleaning up the work bench....
trick or treat
Even the chairs and tables look so real.
Can you explain the steps involved to get this look!!!!

i've found that the easiest way to accomplish this is to just leave the stuff outdoors and let the sh*t fall on it.
that's not fair.
my dad used to have a resort on table rock lake in shell knob mo. summers were horribly hot.

bought it at costco this morning for $60.00. hardly worth half that and i'm surprised that lionel put it's name on it. truth be told, it'll be worth the price just to see theo's face tomorrow when they come for a visit. he's gonna love it.
