"The Dalek who controls the spice, controls the......" something..........
What do you get the wife who turned into a bigger Doctor Who fan than YOU? The one who said "I don't think I'll get into that show", but NOW has a Tardis shower curtain, bathmat, soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, bath towel, light switch covers, cookie jar, salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowl, autographs, photo ops with Matt Smith, etc...etc...... She even has Tardis, David Tennant, and Dalek tattoos from Walter "Sausage" Frank! .......... of "Ink Master" fame.........
Well.........I came up with the idea to make this for Xmas, but between illnesses..... snowstorms.... and indecisiveness........I didn't. BUT.....I did manage to do it for my wife's birthday! In spite of working out in the garage in 16 degrees, with a WORSE cold (Since Feb 3! I still have it!!!) ..........and more and more snow......
I made it using a "vintage" ice bucket, several wooden bowls, a lazy susan, and combined three different spice jars to make what I needed. By last week, I felt like one of those "Face/Off" guys trying to make this thing work by the deadline.......:lol I was going to re-stain parts of it, but I decided that I liked most of the colors, and kept it simple.
Oh, and I didn't exactly do this "under budget".........more like $300 over.:unsure Finding this crap ain't easy.........
The jars I wanted, wouldn't fit side-by-side in a circle, so I had to improvise and combine the top of one, with the bottom of another. The metal lids came from a third glass jar.
In all, it has 24 small spice jars, salt & pepper, 2 wisks, a meat thermometer, and a place for tea.
My wife said it was the best gift she's ever gotten! She hasn't stopped talking about it for three days...........
