I cut 9''x9'' boards out of mdf and routed the edges.
The Joe taught me an easy trick to find the center of square objects. Use a straight edge and trace from opposite corners. The center is where the line intersects.
I used a drill press to make holes for my pegs.
I dipped the end of the shaker pegs in wood glue and tapped them into place with a hammer.
I covered the peg with a cloth to protect the top of it.
To create the design I found the center of each side and taped center to center. After the paint dried, I took off the tape and taped in the other direction. I then sanded the edges and rubbed stain across the entire board.
His initials spell "TOM". Isn't that cute?

ReplyDeleteI recently was given a rubber mallet that belonged to my late uncle. I had never owned one before, and now every time I use it I think of him.
Before I got that, I was very creative when hammering.
have a great week!

ReplyDeleteNice! I like that idea!
ReplyDeleteWhen choosing a gift for Terah's baby shower, consider practical and thoughtful items. Consider a basket filled with essential items like diapers, wipes, and burp cloths. A baby care kit with essential items like shampoo, lotion, and a thermometer can be helpful for daily baby care. Start building the baby's library with classic children's books or board books with age-appropriate titles and beautiful illustrations. Personalize items with the baby's name for a special touch.how much is the fine for reckless driving in virginia
