Hi hairball aka the Lit fonzy , glad to see you made it outta the girls slumber party thread in one piece…lol I laughtedout loud reading what slick princess posted about finding you and your sandwich on their back porch.

**footnote * slick princess was a typo , but I kinda like it. I mean nothing demeaning and malicious about it :rose:

I can change it if you happen to read this and would like me to change it , no problem , just let me know. Thxs

I slipped on my invisibility cloak and walked right past them.

Ok, I want to know who the real Christmas people are. Who's crafting and what are you making? I just spent the last 5 days transforming my scrap wood from my gazebo project into Christmas trees that will decorate my home as well as the homes of loved ones. There's still time for more ideas. I want to know yours.
Oh, and I'll be making snowmen on sticks with the old boards from my gazebo. Loving this recycling thing😊🤶🎅

Those are quality, they look better than the ones from most shops, why do I imagine you've already got a reindeer made from logs?
 
Christmas....oh my favorite time of the yr. l love it.... it season starts officially on Nov 12th for me.
 
Same here. No displays out till then. But I have so much work to do, I had to take advantage of every day off I had. I feel extra rushed because the gifts are decorations, so it's not like I want to wait and give them Dec 25th.
Snd I have to admit that I may be addicted to Pinterest 🙄

I didn't go to pintrest but I had no idea of the rabbit hole you could fall down on Google images with "woodwork for Christmas'
 
Do you have such a saw?😏 I am so envious of those who do. I say go ahead and it! And then show me how it turns out.

I don't have those exactly but I do have a jigsaw and a few hole saws as well as a circular saw come to think of it, I should sleep on this first 🤔
 
Some of the really nice pieces need a band saw. It's just a whole other caliber of quality.
I got some Forstner bits yesterday to make the hole for the candle holders. They worked ok with my drill, but I know a drill press would do better. I swear, once you start with this stuff, there's always something else you really need.

Saw this the other day...

Could be my plan B lol

🤣🤣🤣

I almost missed the pic, but your not wrong, it's eye opening when you first start buying tools.

At least you don't have to buy the lumber, you wouldn't believe the cost over here
 
The cost is high here too. I started out working with pallet wood. Then I found out i could get a decent price on cedar tongue and groove from a local mill. I bought a bunch of their remnants so buying their left over bits at 2 and 3 feet ish. Anything that didn't quite make it to 48 inch qualified for a 3 footer. When the gazebo reno was done, I couldn't bring myself to throw out what was left.
So now I have the boards that were on the gazebo before that were removed, the bits of tongue and groove and pallet wood to work with. A friend is standing by the take my throw away wood to burn in her fire pit, but I keep grabbing wood out of my junk pile. It's amazing how little bits you cut off to make wood look like tree branches suddenly look like snowman noses😂

We might have something in common, I should show you my off cuts sometime, anything over a foot usually inspires "I might need that one day"

Those would make awesome Lit Christmas charity trees 🎄 , paint 🎨 or otherwise use Lit user names on each plank. Top to bottom , or starting at the bottom going up
With the topper being how much was donated on that particular 🌲 Lit charity tree.

The user name sends you A PM that they donated to a charity of their choosing as a example.

Or of course buy one straight up as a gift and have it drop shipped to another Lit user of your choosing. Like a not so secret Santa.

At the end of the day , Karma will bless all that participate with a sloppy wet kiss 💋

Lol, nice idea. Who pays the shipping? I hear shipping is gonna be a problem this year.
I will gladly tell you and anyone else interested how to make them if you want😉 They are super easy, especially when done with tongue and groove.

Oh ship !! lol

I would think th ebuyer in this case , but if it’s a charity tree 🌲 there’s no shipping. Just a thread photograph :cool:

I’ll wave my commission and promoting fees , cause it’s a good cause. But any custom bdsm wood working gigs you get I want my bite of the profits….lol

u Gotz it , consider it done .
 

Awesome , so those are available on your Pinterest page for purchase should someone want to gift one for Christmas ?

If so I’m wishing you a very good selling season.

We are almost done with Christmas shopping here. I shop all year long actually and then November is the end of it. Even pre-covid I wasn’t a big fan of the in real life crowds during the Christmas rush.
 
@ Desiree1

What a pleasant read , I felt the vibe of your process when making them , then gifting them. I do something similar using reclaimed items to create sculpture. That isn’t the actual word for them , but the best one I can think of as a descriptive word. Mine are mixed media , metal , wood , molded plastic items , whatever I find when scrapping or thrift store shopping. I find some real treasures , pile them up and then they are a perpetual piece always in process until I decide it’s done.

No hoarding tho , I’m actually the opposite of that , I discard things not used within a month or two as not what I was looking for. I have a semi studio / caddy shack / out building that I do store some stuff , like plastic fruit 🍎 or things like that in categories like one would paints. Acrylic , oil , watercolor ………
