Carpenters, handymen, prop makers: I need advice on building a prop milk wagon

In My Humble Opinion

Thanks for the pic, it’s looking good!

Now the fun begins – weathering. Take a length of heavy chain and start flailing. Grab a hammer, dent away! Your biggest, nastiest rasp dropped from a height in several places. A handful of ten penny nails punched through a square of 1/2 inch plywood makes some nifty wormholes (hammer or just swing it by hand; color the WHs black). I understand coffee makes a decent stain. Blotches of gray paint. Don’t be afraid to make yourself a big ol’ mudpie and wing it at will and willy-nilly. These and many other distressing tactics are all part of the theater TRADITION!

Make sure you keep a tally of how many times you flinch when you mark up your baby.

And congrats on your Chinaversary! Cake and everything!

Now, get back to work!

Very cool! Nice job. And congratulations on finding an excuse to buy a drill press, I haven’t found a good one yet…
