TV Controllers /Cordless Phone Carrier

[template tom]

What I have prepared is a series of pics taken from my CD-ROM 3 to share with you. (This was first produced in the program Publisher.) This is an experimental posting showing my method of producing the Carrier. Some may be interested in the method of construction which will introduce the making of simple jigs and Templates. This is one of the projects I introduced at the Association for the Blind where they made quite a number which were sold as a fund raiser for the Association.
If the photgraphs of the pages I have written are not clear enough then I will have to explore another method of presentation.
If there is an interest in making the project and the pics are readable I will submit the 18 pages over a few postings.

The shape of the carrier is a dead givaway that it was designed by a woodworker!!!!

The pages Tom are very difficult to read.

Hi Tom

You did a nice job ,,, BUT it cracks me up ,,,,I would need one about 3 times that size to hold all the ones I have ,after I saw your post I started to count the ones I have all over the house and came up with 21 total plus one I got for Xmax. that will control all of them in one control uint, what a joke that one is..100 page manual to get it setup...
I can find them most of the time in the chair or the couch in the corners with dead batteries most of the time..

If I had all the TV's,DVD players,VHS, disk machines ,radios, in one room it would be great, but like many I have them all over the place..two of them in the shop ...

But it would make a neat Tool Tote Box.....
It's bit are to read for just a box with a handle..
It's bit over the top for just a wooden TV controllerr/tote box..
But that's just my 2 cents..

Thanks for the post, Tom. I know you have spent many hours on this project but, as Harry said, they are almost impossible to read. Do you think they would come out clearer if presented in a PDF format?

Bj, I think you missed the point of Tom's post...

It's not WHAT is being made, it's the method used in making it that Tom is presenting.

I would love to hang with Tom for about a week to pick his brains and learn the "how to's"

Hi curiousgeorge

I may have and I'm sure I did but I would not waste all that time to make a wood working class 101 project... that someone in high school would try and make..with some screws and nails..

Tom is a great teacher... that's why I said, just a bit over kill...for a simple shoe shine box project .....we are just putting 1 lb. of controls in a 10lb box the way I see it .

But I'm sure I'm wrong...

It's not about "right or wrong". I understand what you are saying, Bj, and thank you for making my point. You are a skilled craftsman with the router and a huge asset to the forums. A project like this would be a waste of your time, but for those of us without your abilities it is reasonable and prudent to start with "wood working class 101". A simple project makes it easier to concentrate on the method and learn the technique being presented without having to worry about messing up an intricate piece.

Well -- without getting into any of the other parts of the discussion --
I will say this --

NOTHING that gives you relaxation - pleasure - enjoyment is EVER a waste of time.
ANYTHING that causes you avoidable stress - aggravation -- USUALLY is.

Took me two heart attacks and a triple bypass to learn that.

Thanks to all for your comments. The reason for the 'hard to read' format I was trying to reduce the size for posting on the forum. Obviously it did not work so I have tried another size which I have enclosed.

Edit
The second size was printed out and again it is not readable Enclosed is a trial of the Actual size

I've posted and printed the actual size and it came through Ok
