Well, I've got assorted accessories all around my desk; problem is, when I'm distracted and enjoying myself, then I'm not working and making money. Hence the flake out. Happy pipes, buzzy lipstick vibe, and my good ole friends on the eplaya just a click away! What I do not have is the boss standing over my back or the coworkers busily typing away beside me, all of which take the fun out of hte desk accessories (but do wonders for the paycheck).

1/8 inch, both. I was thinking about little screws and nuts but would like to find something easier.

Oh one thing that I knew I would forget when figuring out a dome,.. ( I explored it but never made anything ) was the measurements are from the bolt hole joint not the actual length of the conduit,.. at least that's what it looked like to me.

By the line can pay big money for one disciplined enough to type super fast nonstop. They offer incentives the more lines you type. I came close to reaching the incentives but not quite before I burned out.

There's that too. I don't want to screw up cutting the struts and have to buy more.

Your handywomanship is such a turn on, Ms. Sky. Love it! My mom is a do-it-herselfer. I am to a degree, but not your level to be sure.

I was wondering Giggles if you really burned out on the typing or if your e-play addiction just got the better of you?

Boy, 1/8 inch is so small it's hard to think of anything that you could use that would work,.. I keep coming up with wire but that’s because I have a spool of bronze wire on my desk.

Yup, think I'll try the wire. I'll go out and get it tomorrow....I don't feel like going out to my truck tonight. Think I'll smush the tube with pliers before I wire it together. Make it thinner first.

Sheesh, I was wrong about the sizes, dowels are 3/16" and tubing is 1/4". DOH!! I priced small screws at HD and it would cost about $10. They're high....I mean they have high prices....yeah, that's what I meant.

My God M there are two of you did you just divide,..

You have the soft clear vinyl tubing?

I think I would still try wire,.. for a minute I thought about those brass paper thingies that spread like a cotter pin, but they would rip the tubing I think.

Gummi worms are kind of hard to work with, doesn't it seem like you should be able to glue them together with water,...

yep, for her it was all a part of the art,... she eventually moved on to making her own " bird fish men " I think she called them using the kind of soft rubber ( probably polyurethane ) that they sell to make your own fishing lure worms,... they left oily crap if you left them lay to long in one place messier than the gummies.
