How dabhand Corkboards Are Made
- Find old window frames. Remove glass, if necessary. (Got window frames?)
- Remove glaze or wood strips used to hold glass in place with a heat gun, chisel,
or oscillating multitool. Remove flaking paint by same means.
(Editor's note: Debbie loves to use ridiculously long words like
"oscillating multitool." The more syllables, the better.)
  
- Sand, sand, sand until smooth.
- Remove excess dust. Refinish with sanding sealer and lacquer sealer, applying at least 3 coats
with sanding in between.
- Add foamboard backing, cut to size.
- Add corks.
Little known fact: no two corks are exactly the same size. Each must be placed and
re-placed until all fit snugly between the wood frames. No corks are cut to fit, but broken corks will be used
if received. (Got corks?)
  
- Once the right design is found, white glue the corks in place.
- Add hanging hardware on back. Burn dabhand logo on back or side of frame.
