Nothing fancy or finished. Didn’t mask or even clean off the smudges from glue up and charred edges.
Pro Tip: one that has bitten me several times. When making a custom container for objects to fit into, measure them all. Not all of them may be the same size and if you are like me, you will always choose the smallest one as the exemplar. So large, commercial size spice containers aren’t all the same size. In the end I had to redesign a second one to fit the larger containers.
I should have put a different one on the second. There are some great biblical and Shakespeare quotes on spices and flavoring.
I told a joke in a homily once, riffing on the gifts of the three Magi. Of course in the Gospel of Matthew, the gifts are primarily theological rather practical. After they left, Mary remarked, “I do appreciate the sentiment of a gift of gold, frankincense and myrrh, but really, they traveled all that way from the east and didn’t bring saffron, pepper and nutmeg? I got a bunch of hungry shepherds to feed.”
Ha ha!..you got that right! When I made my thing to hold all my marking pens…looked great and most of the pens fit just fine…except…one certain group that had some weird appendage on the side that excluded them from the rest of their community. Coulda’ kicked myself for what was such a silly mistake.
These are great…smudges and all. And, the quote…perfect.
This makes me wonder. We have a slide out shelf for our spices in the cabinet next to the stove. It’s approx 20"x20" and holds the bulk of what we use. The problem is in the labeling. I’ll take a pic later but imagine 50+ spice containers (we love to cook) in 4-6 different colors. And that’s it. All you see is lids. No labels.
To find something, you’d better know where it is, or look at 50+ containers. If we put them on their side or at an angle, we lose space.
Anyone solved this with the GF? I thought about engraving the lids, but when you replace a spice, you’re engraving again. We tried a sharpie and writing on the lid, but many are dark blue or some are black, so that doesn’t work.
I used it to mark the crumb tray with inches and the maximum the laser will reach.
