Junk and tumblers and grinders
We don't have garbage pick up, so we regularly take our garbage to the dump.
Last week I picked up a food processor there at the exchange corner, and finally realized today that it had no blades. So I thought maybe Pete could use the motor. But for what? Well, what goes 'round and 'round. Something to sand or grind. Hey! A grinder for me. I could go for that. But maybe he'd like it for something else. Hey! a tumbler for me. To be continued (sometime or other)... Tina |

That's not a bad idea. I've needed a tumbler for quite some time to clean
coins I find with the metal detector. "Christina Peterson" wrote in message news:1059626634.380770@prawn... We don't have garbage pick up, so we regularly take our garbage to the dump.

I had to replace the top to my food processor. It got melted in the oven...
anyway.. it cost 8 bucks to replace. It was worth it tho. I use it a fair amount. Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Beadbimbo" wrote in message ... If you want to use it as a food processor, call the company and ask about ordering some blade. I used to do this with stuff I picked up at garage sales ( usually toys or games). They charge practically nothing to replace something, I guess thinking you already bought their product and they want to keep you happy. The most I ever paid was $2 for something. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com To subscribe to the Beadbimbo mailing list, send a blank email to: "Christina Peterson" wrote in message news:1059626634.380770@prawn...

Getting the blades probably makes most sense. But you know, I'd really
rather have a buffer/grinder or a tumbler than a food processor. Tina "Deirdre S." wrote in message ... You might see if the manufacturer sells the blades via mail order. It could still be a big bargain. But the improvisational uses sound pretty interesting, too.

I think it would be neat to make paper with white lint from drying undies.
Beautiful rag paper. Tina "Barbara Otterson" wrote in message ... On Thu, 31 Jul 2003 11:30:21 -0700, "Diana Curtis" wrote: I had to replace the top to my food processor.

There was a woman who makes paper and cast paper ornaments. She also sells kits that allow you to make paper from your junk mail. What a great idea! thinks I!! I'll get one of those and make neat hang-tags (something I still haven't gotten around to) for my stuff. So I buy one. I go home. I boil up a mess of junk mail and let it cool. I follow the instructions, I put the results into the blender. Still reading the instructions, I switch it on!!!!!!. Suddenly I am very cold and wet. I can't see the instructions. I realize the lid to the blender is still in my hand. I have already turned off the blender, but, wow!!!!!!!!! I am covered, head to toe, in wet, blue, dripping paper. My kitchen walls in that corner of the room have been papered. As has the fridge and all the appliances and cabinets. As I begin mopping up, I realize it's raining. Looking up I see blue sky. No. Wait. That's......Paper! It is coating that stupid textured ceiling. But I get it all cleaned up. (Ha!) I wash me off. Peel it off my clothes. I proceed to make blue paper. It comes out very nice. It's a lot more time and effort than I had imagined for the amount of results. The doorbell rings. It's the UPS guy. He starts to hand me the clipboard to sign. He stops. He stares. I glance into the entryway mirror. Blue chicken pox! I smile and tell him it isn't contagious. I close the door and clean my face better. That was 3 years ago. Last time my eldest was home (in June) I moved something in the kitchen that had been moved and cleaned behind since the "incident" (I swear!). And what flakes off? You got it. Blue paper. Junk mail anyone? Barbara Dream Master www.dreamweaverstudio.com "We've got two lives, one we're given, the other one we make." Mary Chapin Carpenter |
