^^^ That is too nice to set along a trail...nice work!
A book of any kind will be read by someone.

It was $10, falling apart and smells of cat. This is the best fate it’s going to get.

Looking around at the junk in my house I dont want but am too lazy to sell on Craigslist. There’s a cheap tool kit. A couple dvds. Some board games.

^^^
I assume you will bring it inside during the winter months?

varmint 08-18-2023 06:20 PM

Probably. We’ll see if I can get the neighborhood to start contributing.

Lord, there’s a ton of dvds to get rid of. Why do we have the vin diesel pacifier movie?

That is very cool!

Take a moment to appreciate my drunk monkey carpentry skills. The only thing left is some plexiglass for the front door. When the hell did plexiglass get so expensive? Trying to get this done for less than $100. Getting real close.

Nice..I just hope the right people see it and use or appreciate it.

I have seen some teenage vandalism done on some furniture on trails around here...very disgusting.

Cool project... Where's the like button?

varmint 08-20-2023 04:34 PM

There’s a crossroads about a mile from here. Few mail boxes. The school bus stop and a telephone pole where people post flyers. I walk the dogs by every day. So I’ll be able to keep an eye on it.

Teenage retards are a risk in anything. I don’t think we have any that bad around. We’ll see.

I see these in my neighborhood a lot!
One of my neighbors complained that there was a couple that would raid her library and then sell the books at their garage sales.

Your own corner of L-space. Ook.

@takeaway_books is up and running, hoping to see the piles of books in my house start shrinking.

Got simple with the mounting, just a 4x4 post and a shelf, to which the cabinet is screwed.

My daughter painted the book cover art on the outside with acrylic, then sprayed with matte clear. I have some anti-graffiti coating I’ll spray on later. Flashing lips may be added here and there. We’ll see if it survives the winter - we’re not bringing it in.

Well done!

Cool idea. They have those around here, and we also have those little houses that people stock with food.

varmint 10-01-2023 09:47 AM

Well done.
