Things I do when I should be doing other things

Ok, this project falls under the category of "why"?

I took an old squirt gun and, rather than throw it in the trash, I disassembled it, painted and distressed it, and wired a white LED to the trigger. It took a leisurely evening to get it done.

What movie does it remind you of?

Blanket Chest anyone?

Travel to the Orient has slowed for me (at least for now). I'm able to spend a bit of time with the family (nice) and jump into a few projects. I'm editing video for the wedding we shot in June, building some more Ghostbuster proton packs for sale for Halloween and, at Nora's request, building a Blanket Chest.

I've not built any cabinetry since the bookshelf I made a few years ago. I hunted around on the web to find some pics of different kinds of blanket chests and then created my own plans. The chest took a weekend to build, then Nora and I stained and polyurethaned it together.

What do you think?
