Shop update #176 (3-10-21)

It was another busy weekend with too much to do and not enough time to do it. I was able to work on the treasure chest for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon.

I have an old leather belt that I wore for the better part of 10 to 12 years. It finally broke where it loops around the buckle and I have been saving it for the right project.

I cut it down into 3 – 10″ lengths and punched a couple of holes into each end using an awl.

I slightly bunched them up and screwed them into the treasure chest to make handles. I don’t know how well they will stand up to being out side in the sunlight but it will be interesting to find out.

I’m also working on a prototype for a Cub Scout bridging ceremony plaque for my son’s Cub Scout Patrol. They will all be going over to Boy Scouts later this month.
