One more plastic sign use
As we prepare to move forward into an election year, we need to be more diligent about finding uses for political signs, don't we? Yes! And here's one I came up with today. One sign (24" wide) turns out to be just the right size for making a container to keep in the shop for storing cutoffs -- dowels, 1-by lumber, etc. And it was super quick to make. Just marked the sign material every 6", made cuts halfway through on the lines, then folded it into a square shape. Made a base out of a couple pieces of scrap 3/4" plywood, particle board, whatever is handy. One piece 6" square and the other 7.5" square. Nailed them together, then attached the plastic to the base with staples. Where the ends of the plastic come together as a joint, I used duct tape to keep the joint from coming open. Voila, ready to press into service. And, one less political sign, which might otherwise have been put to some less constructive use. Nefarious use, in fact. I'll be making more of these as the signs proliferate -- of course, only using those placed (illegally) on public property.
