Cardboard Tube Cores – Great for DIY projects

Posted by hotcrowd on January 17, 2010

Use these to make Furniture, Birdhouses, Birdfeeders, Toys, Musical Percussion Instruments, Fireworks cannons, Hanging Wall Storage, Telescopes, Speaker Woofer enclosures and more.

I have given all my tubes to a worthy cause. Don’t have the time to devote to making the furniture I had planned.

These are 36″ L by 3 11/16 Outside Diameter. Wall thickness about 3/8″. 5 of them are 4″ Outside Diameter and 1/2″ wall thickness.
Most tubes have plugs in the ends made of compressed wood particles. They are 3 1/8″ diameter at the base and 1 9/16 high. 1 1/16 diameter hole in center.

Favorite furniture for small spaces

Posted by hotcrowd on January 1, 2010

Do you live in a tiny apartment? Do you want to?

Either way, you may find these fine furniture examples to be the perfect fit for your flat.

I especially like the Obelisk chairs and table.

There is a great furniture store called 2Danes that has some interesting and innovative pieces I really like. Publications covering the boating and RV industries show furniture that would fit well in small apartment style spaces. Stores that sell dormitory furniture are a good place to look also.

What’s so great about apartment living?

Posted by hotcrowd on December 15, 2009

I try to make the best of living in an apartment. It has its advantages.
I have enjoyed living in a house. There are perks, upsides, and challenges with both of these styles of living. Here are some good points I recognize in apartment living.

Lower Maintenance

Proximity to Amenities

Closer Neighbors

No mortgage issues

Easier to start or stop living in one, compared to a house.

Costs less to decorate. Less furniture.

This is one of my favourite sites about apartment living. Fun.
