Thrifty Alternatives ..Building Foam Campers

[GPW]

Although I haven’t unrolled it yet , there does seem to be enough for a sail ... Schmaybe’ ??? It was Free, so I graciously accepted it ... Yet to play with any samples ...soon though...

not sure how much of anything i am going to get done in the next few weeks, but i think i am going to try making a foamie chair. not sure yet on the shape, but want to add some memory foam to make it a bit more comfy. i think i have everything already here to do this. although i need a dremmel.

[GPW]

Foamie chair sounds like a good idea .... What do you need a Dremel for ? ... kinda’ small for our stuff ... small router may be better /cheaper too ... check HF , for part time use they should be just fine ...
Eagle , next we’ll have you trying hot wiring ... easy and quick ......

[eaglesdare]

funny you should mention that. i think i am going to order some of the hot wire foam factory tools. i like the ideas of what one could do with foam. might not need the dremmel after all. i have lots of foam here that i could make just about anything. just waiting rightn ow for the money tree to give me some money.

Now if you want I can show you how to make your own HW tools ... Thrifty !!
BTW, I’ll be doing some hot wiring of the Paddleboards that we’re going to make .... will post some pics of the process... Basically with a HW , you make and attach templates to the foam ( I use Masonite ) and the the wire has a “guide “ to follow ... Kerfing would be particularly easy to do with a HW and jig /template ... not near as messy either , just some long thin strips to toss, not all that foam dust ... I know I mentioned that a while back ...

got to watch the terrier improved malimate suborbital sounding rocket launch this morning. (nasa)



there is another one supposed to launch tomorrow, which i might try to catch also.

[GPW]

Hmmmm??? Foamie’ Rocket .... Possible ...
Cool , we never get anything exciting ... The shuttle flew over the other day , but I missed it ...

i finally got a pic of them together! i know you can't really see it, but they are covered in mud!


you can kind of see it better on her chest and paws here.


i guess they had fun this morning.

[bonnie]

[eaglesdare]

we too have a new puppy well not a puppy but a rescured mix dashund and terrier about 2-3 years old

free but we have already spent about $200 on vet bills
I think if you own a pet it's your responsibility to keep them healthy so I don't mind the cost.

she is such a sweet little girl weights about 15 pounds house trained and walks well on a leash.

she has made up with all of my GF's family they like her even to the extent of buying (what I think is stupid) outfits for her.

her name is ADDY very nice dog.
GF said shes not sleeping on my bed, yea right doggy has her own blanket and pulls it over herself when she gets cold smart dog.

Pete , nothing like a Free dog eh ??? cheaper than kids and more trainable ...

[eaglesdare]

congrats pete, now where are the

Aint that the truth. I have three dogs. One was free (min pin). The other two (pugs) cost way more than any dog is worth, but it is hard to say "no" to a pug face. They are all brain damaged, but the free one is by far the best of the three.
