    Are You Coming to the 2009 Spring Picnic?

    DavO, I wonder if I could get more info on this picnic. I take its an outdoor event? Is it a food and fellowship event or is there more to it than that. Is it an all day event? I would just like to get a feel for what it will be like. Thanks, TracyB

    Re-finish a baby crib

    Thanks for the advice. It is a factory crib with the name "KinderKraft" on it. It doesn't look very old either, so its probably imported, I would guess. It is a light color, like maple, honey, or pecan maybe. I know very little about finishes or colors. Since it is a factory crib. Would it be a...

    Applied bead edge for cabinet

    Hi Tim, I remember seeing some at Lowes in Lenoir.Not sure if all Lowes stocks it or not. they had several different profiles. I think they were all poplar, so would only work if it was a painted cabinet. Would it be possibly for you to rout the bead on the same species of wood and rip it on a...

    new crib for my latest grandchild

    Mark, thanks for your help. I am guessing that you can find those govt. standards online. I don't have turning equipment either. I was thinking about square spindles with rounded over corners. I never thought about not being able to find springs. I suppose you can find new mattresses? Would it...
