8/2/2005 - Plans For This Weekend

Ok, provided everything arrives by this weekend, I plan on building my "In Case of Vampires, Break Glass" box this weekend.  I expect the holy water bottles and cross should be here Friday (according to UPS) and hopefully my garlic strands will get here by then too.

I picked up a beefy hammer today to put in there, as well as a tomato stake I'm going to cut down into three or four shorter "oak stakes" to put in the box.

Once I have everything to put in there, I can lay out all the items and figure out exactly how big I need to make this thing and then go buy the wood to build it.  I think to make it look really nice, I'll use red oak for the box, some plexiglass for the "glass" on the front, and I'll probably also line the inside of the box with red velvet or another similar material.

I'll use my technique for transferring letters with paper/spray on adhesive to transfer lettering onto the plexiglass, and it should be a pretty cool little prop.  One of the "little things" that makes a display seem all the more "complete".  Not that I'll ever be done or the display will ever be complete.
