  2. One thought is using a thick strip molding around the edge of the back creating a recess of the thickness of the strip. Backing could be applied or left open for easy battery change. The molding would cover the outside so no one but the owner would know the back is open. RJF
  3. I've used it to back some cabinets and also backed puzzles. So far I've cut it to a sheet shape and applied it as a type of backing. Have read of its use to protect floors for moving, or moving heavy objects. RJF
  4. repositionable adhesive spray, used in the art world and other craft fields. RJF https://www.amazon.com/s?k=repositionable+adhesive+spray&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-org00-win10-dsk00-nomod-us000-gatwy-feature-SEARC&tag=amz-mkt-fox-us-20
  5. Paint stores have color charts on complementary colors. There is also an artist color wheel that has complementary colors. Dial in the one color and it has a selection of what would compliment it.

  6. That's great now all I have to do is buy a smartphone to use a ruler app. What a deal! RJF
  7. A typical credit card measures about a bit under 3.5 inches wide by 2 inches long. A U.S bill note measures 6 inches wide by 2.5 inches long A U.S quarter dollar (new or old) measures about 1 inch in diameter An Iphone 5S measures 2.3 inches wide and 4.9 inches long RJF
  8. I think you should click my link I posted for cutting boards. I specifically posted a restaurant supplier, which has a whole variety of sizes and thicknesses. If you have a local restaurant supplier you can cut the shipping and have it tomorrow. RJF Something I will add is having learning cooking, cause we couldn't afford restaurants, I quickly found restaurant suppliers have sturdy inexpensive cooking equipment. They price low cause restaurants have to buy bulk to keep cooking and washing, so its really rare any restaurant owns one pot or one pan, rather 10 pans so when an order is cooked it goes to the dishwasher while another pan hits the stove for another order. Haven't needed a 180 dollar pan. RJF
  9. I've seen suggestions of using kitchen cutting boards. RJF https://www.webstaurantstore.com/search/cutting-board-poly.html
  10. I thought there was a reason for those short restaurant tables! RJF
  11. Have your wife get a hold of a few pounds of rice. Fill an athletic sock with the rice. Heat it with a microwave. It will conform to any part of your back. If it's too hot, wrap it in a towel. By the way, just tie a knot at the opening Been living with a bad lower back for 20 years. RJF
  12. Try to display them. People don't want to dig through anything to see if there is something they want. Think of going to a grocery store and having assorted cans dumped in a cart and you get to dig through to find a can of soup. RJF
  13. tIt's clearly the written agreement that is signed by both parties. It would be under business law. Statutes and artwork are contracted all the time and the final artwork is owned by the person paying for the work. The contract would have to state everything from who owns the original, work, who owns the copyright and who has the right to sell the pattern. Even patents can be sold. The agreement should be reviewed by a lawyer for legal loopholes and proper legal language if it's even worth it. RJF
  14. I think you have the new rock paint stand business. Orders should be flooding in. RJF
  15. I've read some and watch videos on compound cuts. I seem to remember wrapping the wood with blue tape or contact shelf paper, then put the pattern. It seems to keep everything together and keeps the parts from moving as the blade is cutting. You may already have done that, just a thought. RJF
  16. They went to plastic containers with a foil pull lid like the snack packs. The glass jars are gone. RJF
  17. Mail your nails and any extra boxtops to; NAILS PO. Box 6 Penny Battlecreek, Michigan 123456 RJF
  18. My grandfather from my mother's side immigrated from Hungry at the age of 6. He spent his life as a Union framing carpenter. He would show us as kids the 'proper' way to hammer a nail. One strike, set it, then the second strike drives it all the way in. Can't do it to this day. The man was a hard worker and a hard drinker. He would knock down a shot of whiskey while working and keep going. He moved in with my uncle and continued to garden and work around the house in the Chicago area. My uncle's driveway was 75, 100 feet and at 80 the man was out there shoveling. My mom sent us out to help. Halfway down the driveway all of us kids were doubled over and puffing like we had raced a marathon. At the age of 80 that man shoveled nonstop right on past us. I wonder if anyone nails like that now that nail guns are the standard. RJF
  19. Takes me back to shop with rows of glass baby food jars. RJF
  20. Get out the nails. RJF
  21. Isn't it nice when you get old everyone ends up on pills so everyone can save their lives in pill bottles?
  22. Would you like to marry my wife? She saves everything. It's going to come in handy one day. We just don't know what day that is. RJF
  23. An absolute personal thing. My dad had mason jars with everything thrown in. Dump in it on the bench dig through and then reload the jars. Working with electronics the parts are small and even the same part has a different value or way of working. If I dumped them together I would be digging through all day to find the first part, Cabinet has part boxes that are subdivided. Like desk work, people have piles and other desks have nothing. Every industry has an organizing business of some type. I think you will see the entire range with no right or wrong. RJF
  24. Go grab a cold slushy or icey, Brain Freeze! RJF
  25. The trick with any router/ plunge router is how much movement it has to keep the hole straight or you have to oversize the drill holes to get the blades through. RJF
