Title: Weird things I want to make
Post by: northie66 on August 01, 2010, 12:51:30 pm
Any ideas to make them easier would be great!

I want to make a custom insert for my cutlery drawer.
I'm thinking about doing something cool to put as the kickplate at the bottom of my cabinets.
I want to make a mailbox - maybe an animal, a vehicle, or just celtic... I don't know.  Something different nobody has.

Thanks!

Janet, Cherry Tree Toys has some nice mailbox plans such as: postal pooch,Bass fish, Rooster, Sailboat and Barn Mailboxes.You can access their site on Google and I believe they have an online catalog. One note, their plans are not cheap they run from $12.95 to $14.95

Janet, The Winfield Collection site has some of what you are looking for. At least I think it is, I have done several things from their patterns and they too are easy to follow and kind of unique.

Do a mailbox - they are FUN, pick something you are into, search the web for wooden mailbox designs for ideas. I did a Rottweiler for my boyfriend and a Border Collie for my Boss, a friend joined me and did a Corgi & a Fox. I looked at designs on the web then drew my own.
