New Thread Rack

Leslie is still missing. See right side of page for details.

I was so excited to get my new thread rack made. My dad did 98% of the work and let me glue the dowels in and do a teeny bit of sanding so I could feel like I contributed. Here's a pic:


It holds 100 spools of thread of any size except cones. Tomorrow he will make me another one because I underestimated my thread stash! The thread rack is fairly simple, consisting of 1/4" dowels, some 1/4" plywood for the sides, and some other wood dad had laying about that he cut and sanded and drilled before I even saw it. The dowels are spaced approximately 1-3/4" apart and glued in. The bases are then glued and nailed to the sides. This is meant to be purely functional because I didn't want to wait for the revved up perfectly beautiful version dad would've made on his own. Yay for dads and their ginormous woodshops! Thanks Dad! Dad is also making the new hearth for our pellet stove which he, CaveGurlsDad, and a friend will be installing on Saturday.
