Leftovers

I finished two projects and had tons of leftover wood. Pieces too small to use in projects or jigs, so I sanded down the various shapes, threw out those pieces with too many knots, gouges, large splinters, and painted them for the kids to use as building blocks. Best thing was I knew what the blocks were made from rather than questioning the materials used by commercial companies (e.g. NO LEAD PAINT!) which cost about $1 per block. I made 200 blocks for less than $40 and about 14 hours of labor.
