Hi friends!
I just wanted to share with you folks this "POWER Baren" I made.
I call it this because it has a little weight to it and needs very little effort to make a good impression!
I got the idea from a "Ball Bearing Baren" which I, sadly, can not afford.
I am not sure if this has been done before, I can not imagine why not. It is very easy to make, so if anyone has a version of this, I'd love to see it.
Total Cost: around $15. Should last for years.

If you want to check it out or make one here is the link below with all the info. Any questions, please email me off list.

Cheers,
Robert Viana

Robert,
That's brilliant.

It's always a pleasure to see how people solve problems of cost by being creative.

What a great idea! I might have to make one of those to donate to Etsylabs
when I am not pregnant. I do not feel comfortable dealing with Epoxy right
now.

Robert this is the coolest most ingenious thing I have seen!
Good job! I'm going to make one for my growing museum collection of
home-made block/paper/ink squashing instruments.

Excellent...brilliant!

Greetings to you all,
I was passing through the Slype corridor in the cathedral last week and managed to bag a couple of fighting dragons.
