    Default Something for someone to try

    Saw this and thought someone might make a great project with it. Wish I knew how, I would jump on it. Think of the possibilities to be carved on the door. Could be cute.

    The surprised receptacle faces make it look like they were caught in the act....

    Captions could be priceless...

    Looks like a future POM.

    This was a lot easier than it appears. I haven't carved it yet so it may take a little tweaking. Especially for the electrical plug holes. I measured them with my digital calipers so it will be very close but, there may be machine tolerances involved. There is a dimple for the center hole screw. It will have to be finished by hand as the screw is 3/32". Too small for the drill tool.

    EDIT:

    Since it was relatively easy, I made a 1.187 version.

    Great job! This will be a conversation starter in any home. Thanks also for the 1.87 version for those of us who have the old designer.

    If it was made into a "child safe" cover, it might even have purpose.

    As I mentioned in my previous post, I haven't carved it yet. If someone actually carves it let me know how it turns out. As for a practical purpose, I'm not sure it has one but, it was fun and challenging to design.
