Giant Pinwheel
After purchasing two dozen sheets of fluted plastic I was wondering what else could be made with this material. The idea of a pinwheel always appealed to me. After doing some research on the internet, I bumped into (Dr. ARod’s Art) Youtube channel. It was there that I got the idea of making a GIANT…

Gnome Little Library
Once again I had a stump that needed some use. After discussing the possibilities with my wife we thought of our old Gnome stump home back at the Stanwood home. Why not make a Gnome Little Library! After making a perfect plywood box my wife wanted a cock-eyed Dr. Seuss looking roof, so with the…

Early Native Americans may have been the first to create a comfortable back-rest such as this. This is not a new idea. As you may realize by now I like fluted plastic. It’s a wonderful sturdy material that I’m discovering can be used for lots of things. I was curious to see how well…

Livingston boat ramps and dolly
Not long ago I acquired a free 9 foot 160 pound double hull fiberglass Livingston boat. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it came without a trailer or wheels to move it around once on land. My truck has an 8 foot bed, and after taking some measurements I realized the boat could fit in the bed. The boat…

Laptop computer stand
When the Covid 19 virus hit our state my wife was forced to do video conferencing instead of going to work. After viewing others on scene, with the downward unflattering shadowed look of the neck waddle and the color of their ceiling, she decided to raise her laptop with a stack of books for a…

Portable DIY bidet
This is a spent ink pen cartridge. Here I’m heating the cartridge end over a candle. A large nail is used to flaring the end of the tube. This end will rest against the cap. The flare will prevent the tube from popping out when the water bottle is squeezed. Once the flare is made,…
