HOW TO MAKE H5N1 WOOD PERPETUAL CALENDAR

I started past times cutting a slice of 1x8x8 in addition to almost 4 long pieces of balsa forest downward to size.

After giving all the pieces of forest a lite sanding I painted ii coats of white chalk paint on both sides of the balsa wood.  I stained the slice of 1x8 alongside Minwax Jacobean stain.

After everything was dry out I glued my favorite Elmer's letters in addition to numbers to each slice of balsa forest to brand 12 months in addition to plenty numbers for every appointment combination.  (You'll necessitate (2) zeros, (2) ones, (2) twos, (2) threes, in addition to (1) of every other number.)

After all my dates in addition to numbers were finished I distressed each i using wax in addition to aging dust.

By this dot I felt similar I was drowning inwards numbers in addition to couldn't hold back to position everything together.

I measured in addition to drilled holes inwards my base of operations forest using a drill chip large plenty for my rings to sideslip through, exactly tight plenty thence they won't motion around.   I jurist I should too cite that I cutting a smaller slice of forest to operate every bit the stand upwards in addition to attached it using a minor door hinge.

I in addition to thence had to drill holes inwards EVERY position out in addition to EVERY calendar month card.  It was a lot of redundant piece of employment that I persuasion would never end.

***TIP*** Looking back, I mean value it would move best to operate sparse canvas metallic to brand the calendar month in addition to appointment cards. That means they volition move sparse plenty to all stack on the calendar at once. 

I genuinely LOVE how it turned out in addition to couldn't move happier alongside my novel component subdivision addition. 

Do to having most of the supplies on manus (I had to purchase the mass rings, hinge in addition to a few to a greater extent than pieces of balsa wood) the DIY World Market perpetual calendar alone terms almost $10.00 to make.  Not bad since the master World Market calendar is nearly $50.00.
