Done This Week

[scrubjayspeaks]

My big excitement for the week was a salvage job at work. The HR department was replacing some bulletin boards and discarded the old ones against my workbench for mysterious reasons, expecting us to just scrap them. The old ones were all metal and in good condition, apart from some easily buffed out marks left by long-term stickers. Unfortunately, they were much too long for the space in the office where I’ve been wanting to put a whiteboard.

But I realized I had a) free time on a Friday and b) access to assorted power tools. So with a band saw, I trimmed it to a more suitable size, and with tin snips, the sheet metal folder, and the pneumatic polisher, I gave it a finished edge that matches the rest of the design.

It looks exceedingly professional; I’m very proud of myself. It’s just right for the spot, and I’ve moved my stickers-turned-magnets onto it. I have some more stickers to convert, now that I’ll have a place to put them. I do plan to use it for organizational purposes as well, though rotating art sticker gallery is nothing to sneeze at.

A rotating sticker gallery sounds great!
