Hi kids...
I thought I'd drop in to tell you folks that the packing crate escape I've been talking about for so long is finally finished ! I've posted some photos of it on a website for you to examine. http://www.crateescape.5u.com So long till next time ! ~Rick~ |

That's a great looking piece of furniture!! I'm into cabinet making, so you tell the guy who built it that it's a fine piece of work.
Will you be using it under water? It will be a shame to get it wet! Also you'll need to drill holes in it of course. Good luck when you use it, and let us all know how it went. Mick Hanzlik |

Hi Mick...thank for your kind words. NO SIR ! Only Steve Baker would be nuts enough to take that baby underwater ! That is for the stage only. My first attempt at it will be May 19th. in Ottawa, Ontario. I sure will let you know how it went.

Rick,
Not me,as I would have to drill a bunch of holes in that beautiful baby and add 100 pound weight to the bottom..... Just couldn't do that to that beauty!!! It looks great,and would love see your presentation of it! KNOCK THEM OUT!!! Steve |

Ahhh, in comes the spring and with it the flowers, the birds return and the Escape artist and Magicains start to build things again.
Your crate has turned out very nice. Ian's CAPS look great on it. You have another thread..to stain or not to stain? I say stain but it seems that's just me, everyone else likes the untouched looked. To each his own. I say it's that building time of year because I have my new escape box almost done. John and I have been calling it a POW box. Another few days and it will be done. I don't have any cool Ian hardware though....Blast you, Rick Silmser! Good luck with it. It really looks like it will be great. Ms.M

Finishing it with something like Watco would protect the wood, bring out some of the color in it, but not make it look too overdone.
