I totally love it! I wasn't planning to embellish my board but now I would like to try this method. Could you send me the PNG/JPG file you used? I can't seem to find it on Google Images or anything. D: <br /><br />Also I am going to try building my own drum carder because I cannot bear to spend $800 on something as simple as a drumcarder. Yes, they have a gearbox, but I am stoked to give it a go. Maybe I will be less so enthused if/when I mess up, hahaha. ;) Pray for me! :D Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789276320303921677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350174941131114586.post-550816594769290222013-08-21T17:11:08.073-05:002013-08-21T17:11:08.073-05:00Love this post.

With Ann's idea of using the rubberized shelf liner ( I use this already for felting) and your easy to follow directions and photos, a blending board is on my list of things to do. Thanks so much for explaining the process so well.EllenFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842443387437243577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350174941131114586.post-51111802870938024102013-07-29T18:29:21.894-05:002013-07-29T18:29:21.894-05:00I Love your blog.

I do not have one myself, so I am unsure about the sturdiness of the actual staple. The supplies I used seemed to be easy enough for the big stapler to work. Knowing me, though, I would also take a hammer to secure the staple better if it didn't make it all the way through. Also, if they stars are not as heavy duty, I would add more of them around the perimeter as well. <br /><br />Thanks for the question!

Do you think a heavy-duty manual (non-powered) staple gun would do the job, or is the typical cutting board too dense?Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350174941131114586.post-69937167953094098142013-06-17T02:00:38.265-05:002013-06-17T02:00:38.265-05:00Just wanted to thank you for the tutorial, it is v...Just wanted to thank you for the tutorial, it is very helpful! I went to a blending board class with Gwen Powell yesterday and had a great time. Luckly 2 other people bought the two clemes and clemes boards she had for sale, I really didn't want to spend that but was tempted. <br />A number of people in the class had made their own and so I had the info to get the blending cloth ( same as yours), which I ordered today. Went shopping for a cutting board also. I wanted to mention to you that the people in the class had put the non slip, grippy stuff on the back. It's the stuff you can use under a rug or on a shelf to keep things from slipping. This seemed to help them with stability since it doesn't have the extra piece ,the Clemes and Clemes boards have, that goes between your legs or leans on the table. Also, some of the people had gotten handles from a hardware store to put on the top of the board and that seemed very useful too. I had the "idea"of how to make my board but now I really understand what to do...sanding, gluing , stapling, etc. thank you!
