Speaking of methadone programs...
I convinced my wife I could build a toboggan for our boys - I will be able to practice steam bending or laminating veneer for the curled-up leading edge and will get to practice fiberglassing and experiment with a graphite/epoxy mix on the bottom (but this project is because I am a dedicated father - not an addict; I don't really NEED to play with epoxy/glass/etc.) Some old climbing rope for a painter and I can tie in my other non-addiction also.
I've heard that others on this BBS made a truck topper and a mailbox - and someone was going to build a strip cooler for beverages. Any other ideas for side projects that bear some hint of practicality (to wives)???
