Too many scraps….
I have been doing lots of carpentry projects around the house lately, so my scrap pile has grown alarmingly. I thought I would make some scrap wood heads to reduce the pile. Unlike some of my other wood scrap sculptures, I didn’t make any sketches first. I just played with the scraps until a design appeared. I think that made them different from my other scrap designs.
A quick little project
Sometimes you want to build something, but don’t want to drive around getting all the materials. Occasionally you have everything you need at hand. An hour or so from conception to completion – a perfect little project. That’s what happened with this garden tripod.
I made a model of the garden scrap people to help me visualize them and work out the dimensions of the pieces. Now that you’ve seen photos of the real things (here and here), take a few minutes to play around with the 3D model, its lots of fun.
You don’t need special software, just free Adobe Reader. And most computers now come with Adobe Reader installed.
