Well, I’ve got my next project lined up. I’m going to create cases for my husband’s and my manga collection. Right now, we have them on the top of our tallest bookcase, and the dust hasn’t been kind. I just got the boards. Now, I’ve got to go hit the hardware store. I need a C-clamp and a T-Square. I’ll be cutting the boards by hand, so I’ll really need a straight edge. One day I hope that I’ll be able to get a board cutter, but until then, I hope I’ll be able to cut straight lines.
The collections I’ll be boxing are Psychic Girl Mai, Gunsmith Cats, Cowboy Beebop, Lupin III, and Nausicaa. After I manage to do these, I’ll be creating cases for our DVD collections. Sure I could buy ready-made cases for the DVDs, but I want to be able to stack them in the bookcase. We’ll see how it goes.
My other happy discovery this week was in finding bookcloth hiding at the top of my son’s closet. I was cleaning the closet out, and there it was. Yeah!!!!!! There isn’t a lot, but there’s enough for me to complete several books as long as I only want to use the cloth for hinges. Yeah!!!!!!
Now to find the time to actually do these projects and to find the space. We’ve been renovating one of our rooms. Once it’s done, I’ll have a place to work – I think.
Keep your fingers crossed.
