A sheath to hold another tool, a ruler? velcroed to your step stool on the other side opposite your scissors. Can't think what other tools you'd need for wallpapering except a pencil but that's what ears are for.

You're soooo Green, Kenkew.
The handle on your recliner does not qualify as an exercise machine.

Here's another sumfink from Noffink.

Bit of wood.

Cut it up, drill a hole and slice a few bits off.

Cut a bit more off and apply a bit of boot polish.

Put a bit of string in and tie a fancy knot.

Add a name and you have a unique pressy for less than 10 pence!

It's a paper knife. (Did I need to say that?)

Quite impressed by the sewing!

I've got some old discarded roman blinds which are going to become a series of pockets on the inside of my shed door to hold small tools etc.

Well; You get hold of a few sheets of Roman Blind stuff, a hot iron, a bit of aluminium from a wardrobe door, a piece of glass from some old spectacles and some sticky-backed tape...

You mean make the camera? I've got the camera....it's posting photo's on here I haven't got round to yet....except for one photo comp.

Got to decide what I want to put in the pockets.......e.g. String pocket will need an eyelet in the corner to pull string thru'.

I use quite a bit of string/cord. I have the balls in large bacca tins with a hole in the plastic top. Works a treat.
