That's a really pretty plate.

Carry a bag of clean sand to scrub your dishes (outside!), wipe with a damp cloth, and yer done. Very little water used. Learned this from my chuckwagon cook grandfather.

You could use it on the plastic over your china, too, so you don't have to toss the plastic so often...

Ok, I'll go back into my lurk mode...

Thanks.

I've heard of that technique but never tried it.

Now, just in case you like your plastic bag a little tighter on the plate - it is possible to vacuum seal the plate inside the bag.







When done, cut the bag off, and throw it away.

Aw, come on - there's some humor in that. Lol....

See - it's all good................

Now for a little humor. We all need a good laugh now and then.

For those of us who love to boondock, but do not want to waste water on washing dishes - and do not like to use paper plates - this is for us.....

Get the good dishes out, and put them inside a nice heavy plastic bag. Do not use a knife to cut anything on these, as it will cut through the plastic.

Here I am setting the depth of cut on my big router, with my handy, dandy, depth gauge from Harbor Freight.

So far, I cut all the grooves and dados with the little portable Ryobi router. Since I didn't have a 3/16" bit, they were all cut with a 1/8" bit. It really didn't matter much, as I would have to cut the grooves and dados twice to match the thickness of the plywood with either bit.

These are the sides for the next set of 4 drawers. All the grooves have been cut for the plywood bottoms, and I now have the dados cut for the drawer back to fit into, as well as the drawer backs cut to fit the dado in the sides.

I left 1/2" below the plywood bottom for some extra strength.

How about a strategically placed, and properly angled mirror to direct the light to exactly where you need it?
