You Tube has become the defacto site for WWW video sharing. There are notable exceptions and alternates, China offering the prime examples.
All of that said, factions within the You Tube contributor community feel a real need to find alternate sites free from You Tube ownership censoring various videos and channels.
A number of alternate sites are being explored. I am evaluating and using Two of the available alternatives: UGETUBE and VIMEO.

“π r2 “.. “NO !! Pies are round, Cornbread are square.”
Not everyone’s cup of tea … But !! after 39 days of heavy rain you might just wish you had one
All painted, ready for the kids to use.
Tea bags are truly ubiquitous .. When in the mood for a cup of EBT (English breakfast tea) Yorkshire Gold is “my cup of tea” … Packaged in 160 bags per box.
Lacking bulk storage for said tea bags .. Time to put that to rights.
“The best wood to use, is the wood you have” With this in mind, I mined some suitable material and hardware.
I have came up with material to produce a practical solution, letting the Tea Bag: shape/size/quantity dictate caddy size. 12” x 4” x 3” is what came about for the internal dimensions and using 1/4” material we have a utilitarian box. A plain box/caddy not unlike the humble tea bag.
Resurrection of a delayed project … A new Tea Caddy …
Late last year I started mulling over designs for additional Tea Storage. I now have a design that will form a basis to expound on: A Japanese sashimono box, joinery without glue or nails … just well fitted joints held with wooden friction pegs and wedges. … source Harry T Morris on YT.

Using / Re Purposing baby crib material .. once crib slats . now Legs
Woodworker, users of glue .. at some point you shake and wait as captured contents eases into to the spout … OR NOT…

Having a prototype, I’ll modify a few details and produce one for shop use.
Re-Stitching/Binding an Asian style book is relatively simple. (not something I do on a regular basis) Having taken apart one of my three copies to facilitate scanning the pages, time to reassemble the said book.
A few aids: a pair of thingmabobs held in a watchamacallit clamping the pages
A borrowed Tapestry Needle really makes short and sure work of stitching.
A typical Asian 4-Hole stitched book binding, intended to be read in reverse, as to a Western style book. Turning pages to view the book is similar to viewing a long horizontal scroll. This revels the simple ingenuity of the book design and construction. Photographs below:
Front Cover, spine binding on the Right
Back cover of the book.
Inside Pages Two and Three … Right to Left
Images from an old hand stitched Chinese book.
Pages 3 thu 24 show: amassing materials, processing materials, pottering around, packaging for river shipment and accounting with the accountant. Each sheet folded at the center, with each half sequentially numbered, eg 3-4, 4-6 etc. Reminder: read from Right to Left
More on the book anatomy in a future posting.
