Just going to put this in a couple places, here and in the Show off our Crafts thread.

You know those old overhead projectors in school? Well time has marched on. They use technology differently in the schools now and have phased out those things. I heard a local school district was selling theirs for 10 bucks a piece. Some are those ancient ones from my time but some are a newer version that they only had in the school for a short time.

These things are absolutely fantastic for transferring images onto your walls for murals, or what I needed one for is I'm transferring a picasso like picture of The Beatles onto a huge canvas I have. (An ugly picture was on it and I am painting over it with The Beatles.) Now I can do it easily. And for 10 bucks--awesomeness.

My point of this, if you crafters out there even remotely consider doing this stuff, checking with school districts in your area might snag you a cheap one too.

And, when they took me to the storage shed where all this stuff is? They have tons of other things they sell that the schools don't use anymore. It was crazy! I will definitely be looking into possible other acquisitions (maybe one of those old school desks with the flip up top?)

Here is my Beatle picture I'm transferring.

That's cool! We just sold one of those projectors that my BIL passed on to us. I never even thought of using it for murals, darn it!

From The Man:
"You know, people at Lowe's look at you funny when you just buy rope, duct tape, and a new shower head."
:D
If it was rope, duct tape and a shovel-THAT would raise some eyebrows.
Rope, duct tape, a shovel and a tarp big enough to wrap a body in (and maybe throw in some bleach while you're at it!).
It is when it becomes a WEEKLY purchase that they might want to alert the authorities. :biggrin2:
