But he hadda figure out how, so thats why he was drawin lines all over papers. He knows how ta make boxes, but he wanted a good way ta cut LOTS of curragated cardboard ta ezact widths. That took him some thinkin.
How the lines on paper turned inta something is a mystery ta me, but he came up with a idea. I sat down in the basement an watched him, cause Im really coorious about that stuff he does sometimes. Ayla and Iza ran right up the stairs an hid when he turned on the various noisey machines. But I didnt!!!
I efen helped take pictures.
TBT says this is the "Simple Version" fer cutting the curragated cardboard... He made it but decided the cuttin would slowly make the cutter thing get carved up. But it werks fer a few times. He says he has a better idea an is makin it now as I rtype. I can hear him inna basement doin it...
SIMPLE VERSION CUTTIN CARDBOARD...
First, ya cut two pieces of wood same length. One piece the width ya want the cardboard and the other a little wider.
Second, ya attach small hinges between them.
Then ya move the narrow board over the wider one.
Then ya slice along side the raised edge wif a knife. Then ya lift up the small piece an there is a cardboard strip of identical size each time. COOL!
So ya got buncha curragated cardboard strips an ya build a box ta hold them.
I cant report how he does THAT yet cause he aint done it yet. He says "tommorrow" cause he needs some "stuff" ta make the box an hold the fuzzy cardboardy strips down. He thought he had the stuff but he dint! He says he needs"one by twos". An he gotta hunt down that stuff in daylight...
I'll be watchin an reportin! More when I see what TBT is doin...
