Ideas Please

[Kepis]

Ive been making a lot of holes recently for a project I've been working on, and I'm left with a bucket of, well, holes i guess, they are all Pine and the central hole goes all the way through, rough dims i suppose are 1 1/4" in diameter and 3/4" thick, seems such a waste to just throw them away, so I'm looking at things i could make from them, i should point out that they are fairly rough cut so wheels for kids toys, draughts sets etc are not an option as i really cant be bothered to sand these down so the little darlings dont get a big nasty splinter

So lets be having some ideas if you would.

Well at the risk of sounding silly, send them to the News of the world! or the government to plug some..........holes?

they look like floats for a gill net to me mate

Soak them in paraffin & use 'em as firelighters.

If you square them all off, they will be easier to store while you decide what to do with them.

Anything else I can help with

i guess a beaded necklass is out of the question then?

Four can be used as feet for a laptop, savs getting a cooling pad.

Hanging shelves could use them to strengthen the rope between them.

hmm... kebab?

Cheers chaps, must admit im liking the gill net option

 

[locum76]

gill net jumped to my mind too.

i like the gill net idea too, you could also use them to carve pace beads?

or a HUGE set of ranger beads......... counting kilometres instead of paces?

Abacus!

I don't reckon they'd float well enough for a gill net.

Maybe glue 3 or 4 together to make handles for rasps files or stick tang knives

 

[DaveBromley]

pine would be a bit soft for knife handles IMO

I always understood that the way to make a net was to sew a lot of holes together, soooo....
