Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[babylady4]

The lines would be a lot crisper if I had taped off the shapes...... but from a distance, who would notice?

 

[jvls1942]

I'm sure the animals don't notice.
Not much happening here. waiting for more pleasant weather to venture out to do anything.
I still can't walk long distances without a walker. So I quit using the walker and am gradually adding distance to my walks.
I have a notebook filling up with sketches and notes of several projects I want to build this summer.

@jvls1942 Oooo, do tell. I love to hear other peoples project list. Are you going to make any wooden "acoustic" speakers for cell phones? I want to make one for myself, just have to find a pattern I like.

 

[jvls1942]

good morning,
speakers for cell phones ?? what are those ?
I want to take a small drawer from the kitchen and turn it into a silverware drawer.
that would free up the large drawer that we are using, now.
then I want to make two wooden beer cases for my Grolsch beer bottles. I will make them to hold 20 bottles each. stackable, too.
there is talk about having a bash again this year . It could happen if we all can get vaccinated.. We got the shots on Monday .. April 4 we get the second shot.. Moderna..
today I am going to see how far down the driveway I can walk. I need to do a lot more walking.. for the first trip I will take the walker. It has a seat that I can rest on if I need to.
Is there any interest in the bash ??
Let's hear from you..
It is held in Tigerton/Clintonville area..

An Accoustic Amplifier for CellPhones - image taken from ETSY

It requires no electricity. Typically 3 or more layers of wood - the front layer has a large opening, and the back layer is solid rectangle and the inside layer(s) have a narrow channel from the bottom of the cellphone to the large opening to amplify the sound. The speaker for a cell phone is on the bottom of the phone. The center layers also form a slot to set the phone into.
There are many different styles out there.

I haves heard if you cut a slot for you phone to fit in a paper towel tube, it works great for a speaker. I haven’t tried it yet.

 

[jvls1942]

well, I walked all the way to the mailbox and back without stopping to rest. my newest hip complained just a tiny bit.
I looked up the phone amplifier on you tube. I imagine the harder the wood, the better the acoustics would be.
I have some hickory that is harder than oak. maybe someday I will try making one.
Our bash is put on by the "cheeseheads" from wisconsin on BYC.
We have access to a nice campground.
There are hookups for electricity for campers. spots to pitch tents and a lodge with two bunkbed rooms.
We have had friends from Illinois come and friends from the UP, too.
This year we are requiring that people have their vaccinations ..
