OMG! Hyrator? That sounds like Scooby Do!
![]() Today I made Ravioli. Cheese and spinach filled with tomato sauce. From scratch. And I mean scratch! I grew the tomatos to make the sauce. I used flour and eggs to make the pasta, put the filling in, and cut them with a round ravioli press. Oh, and I made sourdough bread from scratch and used it to make the garlic bread. About the only thing I didn't do was grow the wheat and mill it myself, and milk the cows to make the cheese. ![]()

Wow. Did it hurt to lay the egg?

No, laying the egg was the easy part.

Does "I'm working on making a thing" Count?
I'm finally getting around to building a screen wall to hold my movie screen and at long last finish off the MoonCave. I struggled for some time on how to build a screen wall on which to mount an acoustically transparent screen. In the end I went with the "Keep It Simple Stupid" game plan. It's a low room (around 7') so I'm flush mounting the screen border with the ceiling. With the screen centered left-to-right on the wall I will have a space of 16 1/2" on each side between the wall and the edge of the screen. So the plan runs something like this: 1. Cut one 18" strip of speaker cloth for each side. (the screen frame is ~3" wide) 2. Staple gun the cloth to 2x2 board 3. Screw the 2x2's into the ceiling letting the cloth hang down on each side. 4. Screw a 1x6 board into 2x2 so it hangs vertically at the mid point of the room 5. Attach the screen to the 1x6 6. Cut a strip of speaker cloth to cover from the bottom of the screen to the floor. I started building over the weekend, and completed the left side panel. Last night I installed the cross board. Tonight I hope to finish things off, but I doubt I'll get that far. The left section 2x2 painted black ![]() Measuring and cutting the speaker cloth panels. ![]() Staple gun the fabric to the 2x2 ![]() Screw the assembly to the ceiling ![]() Last night I made a bit more progress. I finished installing the side panels to the ceiling, and mounted the cross board on which the mounting bracket and screen hang. Amazingly it all came out straight and level (after a bit of shimming). The left side panel. In time I will add some weight to the bottom to make it hang straight and tight. ![]() Close-up of the cross board (yes, I still need to paint it black) ![]() Photo from the back of the room with the top rail of the screen in place. ![]() A behind the scene shot of the cross board showing the shims I hammered in to make the cross board hang straight vertically. ![]()
