Ms. Frigid Ayre asked:


Hi, I’m looking for tips/plans/pictures of a easy wooden crayon holder/organizer for boy scouts. I’ve seen some really easy ones from scrap wood a long time ago and can’t locate any. No need for fancy animal shaped one.

Any info would help.

Well, the only things I have made are boomerangs, because they are fun and easy to make. Anyone know of any other fun projects to make out of wood? I’m not interested in making shelves or anything like that, I just need some ideas.

~Sara~ asked:


I have a panoramic puzzle which is 39′ x 12′ and need a jigsaw frame to place it in. Does anyone know of any websites/shops where I can buy custom-made frames?

If i cant find this, if i found a normal photo frame instead for the right dimensions, would a puzzle fit into this ok?
