Editor’s note: Last month we launched our Mind Upon Mind series, a nod to a 1937 Chips from the Chisel column (also featured in “Honest Labour: The Charles H. Hayward Years”), in which Hayward wrote, “The influence of mind upon mind is extraordinary.” The idea being there’s often room for improvement. (You can read the entire Chips from the Chisel column here.)
To that end, we asked you: What else have you thought of, tried out and improved upon?
We’ve received some great submissions from LAP readers who have built projects from our books and had ideas on improving the design, construction or finishing of a project.
Here’s one of our favorites, from John R. Brauer in Lisle, Illinois.
Leveling Legs
I don’t have the budget for a Fat Boy scribing tool, but I have a sliding bevel. I bent a machine bolt, cut the head off and used a wing nut to attach a pencil (wrapped with paper tape for friction). Adjust to height and tighten.
Do you have a clever idea for an improvement? Email kara@lostartpress.com. You can read more about the submission process here.
