HELP ME

I have made a discovery

My grandfather was a master carpenter (until a series of accidents led him to believe that yes, 75 was perhaps finally to the point where large machines are not safe) and my brother and I took lessons from him for a while. I can use a lathe, a marquetry saw, and a bandsaw, as well as properly sand, shellac, and dovetail. I am also moderately proficient with powertools, although drill bits and I still eye each other warily.

S-so I guess my point is, woodworking is not terribly scary! Just wear gloves, for serious. Splinters are NOT FUN.

Have you tried a toy store? Like a fancy upscale one that doesn't sell plastic crap and action figures.

Or a hardware store, and check out the decorative molding section. *shrugs*

[lazulisong]

well, that's the last option I was talking about, we have a pretty good hobby store downtown. -__- It's just. WHY WON'T PEOPLE LET ME GIVE THEM MONEY, ERIN.

[dipping_sauce]

MAYBE THEY ARE JUST ALLERGIC TO MONEY

[lazulisong]

THEN WHY DO THEY OWN A STORE

Um, have you tried the wooden things they use to cap curtain rods? (They make great bases for doll stands, anyway.)

How many, and material? Also, how much money, including shipping, are you willing to have taken from you? I MIGHT be able to find something in the wilds of my late grandfather's stuff.

Well I was going to suggest Eugene Toy and Hobby but I'm guessing that's where you're talking about. Possibly my dad would know of an online place, I'll ask. (It's the sort of odd bit of info he would have)

I would totally love to learn to spin but I have no intention of going to the memory walk. Also there is a chance Vance and Michelle would murder me if I brought more craft stuff home.
