If your shop class has a table saw, a router and a planer you can make anything. A coffee table, aquarium stand, dog house or a cat scratcher.

I have just built two dog houses large enough for Bull Mastiffs and they were actually bought. I built them at 4x4x4 and added a 12" roof pitched equally with air vents. I built them out of broken pallets. That's what is meant about going green. Make something out of a crappy thing that is destined for the landfill and add value to it and make it usable for someone else.

Here is where I get some of my Super Creative Designs at.

A BOX. They can be simple or hard but always useful. There are plans available for boxes with no apparent means of opening. They require a series of wooden rods (square usually) that must be pushed just so far and not to far for another rod to pass which frees a third rod to allow the cover to open. The ends of the rods are disguised by appearing as one of a checker board of similar end pieces. Finishing the box well makes it very special.
