This is my last 2 pix. This is my ceiling under construction as DH puts in 9 recessed cans to brighten my room. Woo Hoo!! This will be wonderful. If you all want to see my big board (for on top of my ironing board) he built please let me know that too!
Thanks for all the encouragement to get this posted, I hope this is helpful and if you need any more help I am just a plane away. I am just itching to be somewhere warm. :lol:
Warmly,
alaskasunshine :-D :-D :-D

The boards look like coroplast or whatever it's called. It's plastic corrugated to look like cardboard basically. Sign stores usually have it in 4' x 8' sheets, my local one will cut them down to 2' x 4' (much, much easier to wrangle) without charge, but other places may charge.
Free or low cost source is old political campaign signs. A lot of them are using these now, and post election, you can often get them free. A good scrub and they are good to go. I've not noticed any color transfer but the longest I've held anything on a sign was about 9 months, so I've not tried long term storage.
To cut - T-square and a sharp utility knife have worked for me. It's SLOW cutting so the lines are across, but otherwise it warps when you wrap around. A jigsaw or sawzall might work, not sure.

I know I'm posting quite a while since you first posted your wonderful tutorial, but....would you mind telling me exactly what material you've used for making the bolts? Thanks! I will also try to send you a message just in case you don't get a notification from the forum.
