Specialty? What's so special?

Ah, man. I want a tambour stand. A hoop with legs. Eighty bucks? This one's only $28, but still. It's a wooden hoop with legs.

I've got find some popsicle sticks so I can rig up one of my own. Or something like that.

I need a hobby that's free. Reading doesn't count. And neither does cursing the weather.

I think I can rig one up using dowels and a clamp to hold the screw that tightens the frame. I'd need wood glue, a flat piece of wood that's had the hell sanded out of it, a couple screws, a piece of dowel, a clamp and a power drill. I think I'd be maybe five dollars out of pocket in the end. Maybe more if I grab a bracket to brace it well.

I'm really kind of surprised by how often I've used power tools in costuming.
