So I bought this cube organizer at Target yesterday. I am in need of upgrading my room and it was on sale. However the company who makes it decides that it is a good idea to only include four squares to cover the back with, which there are eight. 

I decided to turn it into a project. I picked up some white poster board that is usually for school projects and cut out squares to alternate with the four black squares that came with it and stapled them to the back to create a checker board effect. While at the store I picked up some rope, which I braided and hot glued along the bottom edge of the cubes, to add something extra and to protect things from sliding out. I also bought some grip padding to the bottom of each square. Lastly, I got click LED lights to go on the top four squares since I will mostly be using those the most and putting things what I only need once in a while toward the bottom.

Score for Do It Yourself. Now to get back to homework.

Finally finished up my first real bone pipe. Sealed inside, sealed latex clear coat outside.

Painted in a “Dino” from the Flintstones theme. 

Holes cut for bowl, choke, and to pull from. 

FOR SALE. Message for details.

Instead of getting work done during the hurricane, I have been working on these. Pig leg bones what I have boiled, cleaned, and soaked in hydrogen peroxide to whiten. 

I am turning them into pipes to smoke out of. I have already drilled holes for the bowl, the choke, and to pull from. It is pretty hollow inside and I cleaned it out extra so it pulls well.

Since bone burns when fire is put to it, I coated the bowl with clay. Now I just have to wait for the clay to dry over night to sand it smooth. Now to decided whether to paint them and how to seal them. 

Sorted them. There are a lot here. Most seem to be from around 1985-6
