Well I finally got my “yardage counter” in the mail this week. So, this weekend I decided to make the base to hold it. I got this idea off of Knit Picks. A site that I love to shop at but has some high prices to go along with there much wanted gadgets. My brain starting clicking-How can I make this cheaper??? (This EXACT gadget goes for $49.99 on their site) The search was on.
As discussed previously on my blog, I found a site with this very idea. Mind you that I am quite handy and own my very own table saw. Having the right tools make every job easier and more enjoyable. Down in my shop I went. Fortunately, we are installing a new front deck at my house (Thank you Michael, (he’s my brother)) and had some scrap 2x10’s laying around. So, I measured it out, cut it on my table saw, screwed it together and sanded it down. It took my about 15 minutes from start to finish. Total price $15, just the cost for the counter itself. It works perfectly. I am so excited.
