While in the middle of a new project, it became clear that a stairway was necessary for part of the model.
I turned to the Web and studied how real stairs are constructed.
Gotta love the Web!
The most important part, I found out, was keeping everything inline and symmetrical. Enter the "jig" that the stairs were built upon. Nothing fancy; just a block of wood that was the correct width and length.
By taping the stringers [ the side part of the stairs ] to that wood, everything remained stable so the stair treads could be glued in place. Once everything was dried and set, the whole unit could be removed without any problems; and it's surprisingly sturdy.
Just wanted to share this!
By the way, the wood I use is Basswood. Stronger and more dense than balsa wood.

“8-8 Is a Date to Create”
This almost has a rhyme to it, doesn’t it? If you’ve been waiting for a specific date to create something, your wait is over. On August 8th, we celebrate “The Date to Create,” an effort to put an end to procrastination and get your ball rolling on creating that one thing you’ve been meaning to take on. It could be just about anything you could dream up. All it takes is some imagination, a little know-how, and the resolve to do it. Can’t think of anything you can do just in a single day? No worries — August 8th can be the date you got started on that massive project you’ve been meaning to take on.
Some Stuff You Can Create
Stumped for ideas? That thing you can create doesn’t have to be a massive project. Just something you know you can do. Just think of the feeling of satisfaction you’ll get knowing you created something.
A new recipe. A lot of my favorite recipes started out as improvised ideas for using up holiday leftovers. With a little experimentation, you can get it exactly right and then share it with friends.
A quilt. If you’re into crafting, you probably have a lot of waste fabric laying around. You can turn that fabric into a quilt just by cutting it into evenly sized squares and making up your own pattern. Don’t need a new quilt? No problem. I’ve seen the quilts that the ladies in my church made out of leftover fabric for charity. Ask around to see who might be needing one.
A backyard science experiment. Got some kids who are curious about how something in the science world works? A homemade science experiment can be a good way to demonstrate basic scientific principles. Be sure to read up on how to do it safely and have some fun with it.
A garden. Okay, August 8th might be a little late to start an outdoor garden, but you can create an indoor vegetable garden with a few potted plants and a little cleverness. Grow root vegetables and herbs you can enjoy any time of the year. And you can start planning your outdoor garden for next year.
An Android app. If you’re good with code, you can create your own Android app. Sound daring? The genius behind “Angry Birds” created the original game just using his computer and the books he found in his college’s library. Who knows, you might create the next big app!
And don’t forget Legos! Imagine what you could create with a pile, or small pile or even a big pile, of the world’s favorite building bricks.

I found this challenge hard to do. Sensibilities have changed so much since the days when people dressed their children up in army uniforms as a patriotic gesture, and nowadays we really do have children fighting in wars in many places.

Bakerloo Line Train at Maida Vale Underground Station, London, England
Still going through the archives at the moment and thought also this would be a colour upload rather than a B&W upload. I am also planning to get out soon with my camera as I want to shoot some new stuff.
Anyway this is an image of a Bakerloo Underground train. When I got on this train I noticed that it was really empty and so got my camera out and took a few images. It is really rare to see a tube train like this so I was really lucky. It was quite hard trying to take photos like this when the train is wobbling around everywhere so I had to wait when it got into stops to get sharp images.

Information
The London Underground 1972 Stock is a fleet of trains used on the London Underground. The 1972 Stock was ordered to make up the shortfall in trains on the Northern line's 1959 Tube Stock fleet. It is, however, currently used on the Bakerloo line.
Since July 2011 it is the oldest deep-level Tube stock in service on London Underground.
A total of 252 cars were ordered from Metro-Cammell and later refurbished by Tickford and Rosyth Dockyard.
In the early 1970s the 1938 Tube stock on the Bakerloo and Northern lines was life-expired and due for replacement. Tentative designs for a new Northern Line fleet were abandoned when the go-ahead was given for the Piccadilly Line to be extended to Heathrow Airport. That required a totally new fleet of trains to replace the 1959 stock then in use. The plan was made to transfer the 1959 trains to the Northern, to allow the worst of the 1938 stock there to be scrapped, but there were only 76 1959 Tube stock trains, and the Northern Line needed more than that to operate. Originally it was planned to refurbish some 30 1938 trains, but this was scrapped in favour of 30 new trains - 1972 Mk1 Tube stock.
The 1972 Tube stock was ordered in a hurry, so there was no time to create a new design; the trains were based on the 1967 Tube stock on the Victoria Line. Although almost identical looking, the 1972 trains had a guard and door controls in the rear car, and was not compatible with 1967 Tube stock (though in recent years some 1972 cars have been adapted to run with the 1967 trains on the Victoria Line).
A further 33 trains of 1972 Tube stock were ordered to provide service on the Jubilee Line. The 1972 Mk2 stock had slightly different interiors, such as dark blue seating moquette (unlike the red and grey on the earlier 1972/1967 trains). Externally the biggest difference was that the doors were painted red, with a LT roundel on the side of the carriages, rather than the Johnston lettering. The train number plates on the The 1972 Mk2 trains operated on the Northern and Bakerloo Lines prior to the opening of the Jubilee Line in 1979.
With the introduction of the 1983 Tube stock on the Jubilee in 1984, the 1972 Mark 2 trains were transferred to the Northern line, then subsequently to the Bakerloo line, where they remain in service. The earlier (Mark 1) 1972 stock on the Northern line was replaced by 1995 Tube Stock in 1999. The 1972 Mark 2 stock was extensively refurbished in the 1990s. After being withdrawn from the Northern line, a few cars of 1972 Mark 1 stock were converted to run with 1967 stock in service on the Victoria line. A further two trains were converted to be compatible with the MkII type, and these now run on the Bakerloo Line.
The 1972 trains are formed of seven-car sets, and have a total of 268 passenger seats.
Aspire to be a light.
To desire everlasting creativity.
Be the student to every little thing around you.
For the inability to accomplish something, ultimately leads you to better understanding.
I’ve been gifted with life, love and the will to create. This year, although with strife, has taught me acceptance. That the world around us is one automated and interconnected life force.
One to be explored.
I’m honored by the presence of very special people in my life who’ve given me hope and the will to continue living.
Thank you for making an impact in my life.
Continue to be curious, not judgmental.
Love the colours from the Simply Create Alford current challenge.

The male marsh wren builds the nest in anticipation of the arrival of the female. Sometimes they build "dummy nests" which aren't used, they are never as well completed as the ones that are used as brood nests. Some scientists theorize that they are build as an outlet for the energy of the males before the females arrive. Dummy or extra nest building stops when the females arrive and mating starts.
