Work hard, rise a family, maybe buy a home, enjoy retirement, then suddenly your gone in a fiery flash Life's efforts possibly may have an unfair ending to them at times!
But as Derrin Hinch "says, ..."Thats life" I had a visit from a neighbour wanting to know if I could make a cap made for an urn to have some portions of ashes in. All a bit morbid I thought as it was to be human remains, but I did offer to help. I cut two blanks from my pallet stringers I glued them together and let them dry Sanded the base plug to be an interference fit Sanded the top to a reasonable profile to be a tight fit in the top lip, no top knob or any fancy detail. Gave it a hit with sanding sealer and awaited his return to advise finishing requirements. It was received as excellent and no further work was needed. I did advise not to test fit it as it may not be able to be easily removed. Sometimes simple tasks get amazing results. Now back to my Credenza!
