I need some help with charity auction item
« on: September 21, 2014, 08:55:09 PM »
I am looking for ideas  for an item I can make out of wood to sell at a health/dental care for kids charity.

I honestly don't know what to build, any ideas?

help   :o


ps, the pen/box,  car holder, and magazine rack is a no go as someone always donates said items... granted mine would be bad ass, but its already been vetoed.

Kids charity? How about a dollhouse or the old ball in tilting maze? Earing keepsake boxes? My wife got a small wooden keepsake box with hidden compartments that was interesting.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

I second Les' suggestion of a bat  house.  Would be a great science project also.

It is amazing the good they do in a neighborhood and it might lead to a few new chiropterologists.  :D

Here is a link to some guidelines for building one, if you haven't considered it before

http://www.batconservation.org/bat-houses/build-your-own-bat-house

Here is a link to the google search page  for "bat house plans" to give you an idea of that they would look like.

https://www.google.com/search?q=bat+house+plans&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb

Come up with a classy "Bat Manor".   :D

Good luck with whatever you decide.

In this neck of the woods, custom bird houses are a hot ticket.

Some I've seen look like miniature models of Victorian homes....and sell for hundreds of dollars. When our son was going through chemo last year, a local doctor bought one that looked like an old church (at an auction) and donated it to the oncology center's collection (they collect bird houses to place outside the center's back wall, which is glass).

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
