Cross-Making - Part II

I just took another 15 mins to finish this, making it a grand total of approx 2hrs for this project.

Tools: screws, screwdriver, random washers

Went all around the house looking for blocks
to prop up the MDF board so that the screws
would insert firmly/no wobbles


I drew a 3x3cm box on each side, ensuring that I didn't
screw up (heh heh) the screwing (ok yes shoot me now.)

the makeshift whatchamacallit


First screw in; not too badly done - balsa is very soft


But I didn't think to have a base block - project would be
screwed (heh heh) if the screw just eats through the MDF


The solution? Washers.
Not one, but two!

One final short screw to tighten things up, as well
correct the slightly listing posture of the cross...


And there you have it - the cross that
I'll be using in church this Maundy Thus.


What do you think? Would anyone buy this for $50? That's gonna be $10 for material, $20 per hour of my time. I'd get paid less than a tuition teacher! :D
