    What's the most unique project you've done?

    My last question elicited such great response, great reading by the way, that I thought of another one.
    Mine was for my sons Freightliner. It had 2 bunks over/under and no sitting space. We removed the bottom unit and I made two benches, one to each side and a center section with a table. Lower the table and rearrange the cushions and it becomes a bed. Sorry for the bad pictures but it's all I have.

    The rule "No pictures didn't happen" don't apply for this. So have fun, I'm looking forward to your input

    Hmm... the most unusual?

    One was a one-legged milking stool for my mom. She still uses it to milk the goats. What was more unusual than the stool was the way I made it. At the time my shop was an apt balcony and my only power tools were a router, circ saw and hand drill. I salvaged an old stair baluster to be the leg. I face glued 3/4 oak from HD to be the seat. I wanted a round seat so I got it as close to round as I could with the circ saw, drilled a hole in the middle, set it on a jig and spun it against my router to make the circle.

    Another was a case for my dad's ratchet set. His plastic one the hinges broke so I made him a nice wood one that he set the plastic trays inside. He still uses it.

      I'm currently making two seven-foot-tall puppet skeletons. They are worn by the operators and will be used in our production of The Life of Galileo in late January.

      Yes, the puppets have lines…

        Oh, I've done one piece that makes all my other work pale by comparison, and it's truly one-of-a-kind (not to mention hysterical). But it's also embarrassing, and I have no pictures, as I made a promise to its recipient that there would never be any. So I'll have to think about whether and how to describe it here... I'll get back to you when I decide...
