My entire method of making things revolves around
trash...................I think even if I hadd all the money in the
world necessary to buy whatever it is I needed for a project, I get
more fun and enjoyment out of utilizing discarded items or scrounging
for them. No I am not a tightwad by any means but "trash" makes the
pocket money go a lot further.
