Mary Wynn - You don't really need an adaptation. What you want at the end of any kneading for this kind of thing is a smooth, elastic dough that cleans the sides of the bowl or surface as you knead it - that sticky feel, that isn't glorpy.

Um... the door pictured, I'm quite sure, is not the door that the OP is writing about.... Unless the PM of the UK has changed genders, changed names, and has a secret affinity for beginning woodwork... :)

That being said, I had to do the same thing with my bedroom, and you can also use a jigsaw as long as you use something as a guide and go very carefully. I'd probably use a wide wood plane - one that can go the width of the door to keep it even - and mark BOTH sides.

One of the meaner things a guy I knew did, when selling his house to someone who was being a real jerk about the situation, was go downstairs, and sharpie over all the fuse box labels. It doesn't help that it seemed like the house had originally been wired by a schizophrenic - I bet it took years to sort it back out.

Akgreengirl - not a dumb question. Oilcloth is waterproof - cotton is not. so any moisture in whatever you're storing would just escape, whereas with the oilcloth it would mostly be kept in place.

For the DIY'ers who don't have easy access to grainsack material - check out the Rouenneries line for Moda by French General.

i saw something similar in a Signals catalogue - letters painted on a wood plaque and hung.

There wouldn't really be an "edition number", per se. National Geographic is considered to be the owner of any image created for it, and as such, there'd be more likely to be some kind of internal reference number rather than something specifically signed. Photographers submit negatives (or digital cards, anymore) and have, according to my sources, no say whatsoever in what images are printed from those negatives.

As an aside, for those interested in the topic, check out a book by Lutz & Collins called "Reading National Geographic" - http://www.amazon.com/Reading-National-Geographic-Catherine-Lutz/dp/0226497240/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253150608&sr=8-1

Common in Canada - Princess Margaret and a number of other hospitals do them, especially. I've never had the cash to drop on them, but they certainly are attractive.

I got used to watching tv at a high height when I was little - about shoulder height on me now at 5'10. Nobody's ever complained, I HATE it when a tv is at the level of my toes - *that's* what hurts my neck.

Excellent how-to here - http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=316881.0
