Toys by
NWITileGuy
What is your favorite kind of toy box. I don't really like anything that is plastic and would like to find something made of wood. I would like to find a wooden toy chest that reminds me of the one I had as a child.

Define Craft... by
R
Hi, Just a quick question:
"What is the definition of a Craft?"
I'm interested to know as some of the things I see around today do not

professional, as in...

candle glaze by
[email protected]
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what to use as a glaze for candles? I have heard
that 'French polish' (shellac) should be used, after it has been
diluted with metholated sprits, but I am concerned that something like
this may interfere with the burning of the candle.
I have also heard that dipping in...

I need a special glue by
Stewart Schooley
I am looking for a glue that spreads easily, dries clear, is thick
enough so that it doesn't soak into printed paper, forms a super strong
thin film, and of course, is reasonably cheap.
There are some glues in tubes that do the job, but they aren't easy to
spread out.
The best I have found so far...

the plastic forms, but I'd need one that hardens...

project. Sheets can be as small as 4x6 inch and thin so that they can
