Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
General BS forumI guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.
I played around & enjoyed art when I was younger but kind of lack the time now days. I do still help with school projects & build the occasional wooden boy scout slot car models with my son on days were the weather sucks, basically to keep him away from video games. Anyway, I seen a beat up shoe shine box for sale at a local Goodwill sites. The contents like the brushes were worth the $3.50. It reminded me of my Grandfather who passed away a while back, (he was the only one I knew who had one) so I thought it might make a fun project to clean it up.
My son didn't like it as much as the cars so I was basically on my own. I decided to play around with it myself anyway. I did get new hardware but basically used old scrap wood & stain in the garage, left over Halloween makeup, my sons colored pencils, & whatever else I found free around the house. I did have to replace an "eye liner" pencil I found in the bathroom that my wife yelled at me for I seen some really good artist post stuff here & even though it might not be up to all standards but I was pretty happy with the way it came out & figured I would share.
(Just encase anyone was wondering the 2 guys are supposed to be characters from a movie called "Good Fellas" where there was a scene that had a reference to shine box)
Pretty slick! I can do fairly decent with woodworking but I cannot draw or paint to save my life. If I could I would do it all the time. It just seems relaxing. For someone who hasn't done it much lately it still looks great.
