So where's the butter?

This past module, #14, has been pretty darn fun. Oh and edumacashional. Officially, it's called Patterns, Templates, Jigs & Fixtures. Being the lazy bums awesome geniuses that we are, we just call it Jigs & Fixtures. Long story short, we were making jigs and templates and whatnot to facilitate the making of what we call a butter caddy. What the bloody deuces is that, you ask? Well, shut up and let me finish!

A butter caddy is just that. It's a little tray that holds a 1/4 lbs of buttery goodness. No, not that fake "I can't believe it's not butter" crap. We're talking actual butter here!

This one here is semi-finished, as in it's been sanded but no finish has been applied whatsoever. Nice, isn't it? I won't go through the whole process but suffice it to say it was frustrating at times, especially with certain jigs. GAAAH!


And now this is what happens when you apply two coats of shellac and a very generous coat of beeswax. Mind you, the beeswax was a pain in the butt. No, not because I got stung in the ass while getting the wax. ...Wait, how did you find out about that? >_> There's a spy somewhere... Why was it a pain in the butt? After that generous application of beeswax, I let that dry for about 20 minutes. Then I buffed the hell out of that caddy.


So am I going to put a 1/4 lbs of butter on it? HECK NO! Why? Because we hardly ever use butter. xD Besides, this is more of something you put out when there are people coming over. So what -am- I going to do with it? I don't have the slightest clue. I'm open to suggestions.

Now I'm off to burn a few CDs. No, not for you.
