So they's got deez portfolio 'binders' at some art stores, right?  Average price of $60-$120.  Very professional , but only white, black, steel, plastic, or bamboo.  5 choices

 ^this one is da white 

 This^ would be the bamboo veneer.  So I goes to Ed, Marc and David, and they sez to me about 'SECOND WAVE' in Fremont, a used (junk) shop for boat parts.

 I find me this double hinged Yacht cabinet door.  $20, why not?  I got a hinge with Screw Post's in a brass finish from Stone Way in Ballard.

 being as the GIANT wood cabinet doors weren't too practical, i head over to Cross Cut in SODO.

 They only had full size plywood there, so i considered their lovely veneers!  

 But ended up at the nice folks at COMPTON LUMBER, awesome place. They had some precut CHERRY wood on hand, so i dropped $20 and got my self 2 12"x18" boards!

 Thanks to Ed, i borrowed a drill and headed to the North plaza to make some Holes.  (note, this also required getting 12 1/4" screwposts 

 don't forget to file that sharp edge on the cropped hinge! 

 and BOOM a custom ScrewPost portfolio!  

 so . . . . 

Hinge :   $12

six 1/2" screw posts for the middle : $1.50 each, so $9 total

twelve 1/4" screw posts for the boards : $12 at a dollar each

Cherry Wood Boards : $20

grand total of $53.  I think it was TOTES worth it!  

OH, btw, i raged the other night with ECS!!!! 

WE WON 2-0 AGAINST THE GALAXY!!! WE LOVE YOU SOUNDERS, WE DO!! 

That was QUITE a spring break.

PBC, what an idea.  you haven't heard?  that's understandable, tha damn thing's secret.  I'm sure you'll see or hear ABOUT it, eventually.


so i did stuff over break!
