Making a chopping board - skip find.

[Fnaar]

My neighbour once made 37 boxes of matches from some waste wood and chucked out the off-cuts. I rescued them and made 214 toothpicks and 3 cocktail sticks. I threw away a small bag of shavings. I wonder what happened to that.

I once found a a small bag of wood shavings. I gave them to my hamster for nesting, but threw them away when he shat all over them. I wonder what happened to them (and the plop) after that?

I once found an old IKEA bookcase, which I made into a kitchen worktop!

Joking aside for a moment, I had the great privilege of meeting someone, stayed at his house over a Christmas in fact, who was a "guest" at the Great Escape camp for much of the war. He was only a few numbers down the list from those who escaped, and were subsequently shot, so in a sense he was lucky not to have escaped. Although there were no Americans there I gather most of the things in the film were true, eg the mud down the trousers thing. He still had the clogs he'd worn after his boots hard worn out. He's no longer with us now, but it was a fine thing to have met him, and sat listening to him and his friend telling stories - mainly about Australian Socialist politics, where they'd also been comrades, rather than the War it must be said.

Popped his clogs?

Tried to, but had to turn back because of the cold weather - couldn't cedar wood for the freeze.

I love the way this thread is splintering off in different directions......



Going to try and get 2 boards out of it. 1 chopping board and a meat carving board.

This thread is a load of blocks, Jay. Now, hurry up - "chop chop"...photos, with carved flesh/sliced comestible(s), or it didn't happen! (Don't forget some purple detail - to match the xmas tree theme... )
