My daughter volunteered to do props for the theatre's latest production, Long Day's Journey Into Night.
She was running out of time, and options, and needed an antique phone. I was getting a little tired of building things around the house, so volunteered to help with the project.Instead of spending upwards to $200 to get a genuine antique phone, we made one.... you can see it in the photo.
I did the woodwork and she did the staining and adding and creation of the additional pieces.
I can honestly say that this was done with blood and sweat. I managed to shoot a nail (nail gun) through the wood and into my finger. Still don't know how that happened.
Finger is a still a bit sore but I'll survive. The inside of the phone has a particularly dark stain. Oh well.
Harrison Hilltop does some interesting work so if you're looking for some good theatre, take it in.

cool phone alan........does it call long distance?
City boy,
I guess I need to read the posts more often. I have several oak wall phones that you could have borrowed. My Daddy was a telephone man. Sorry wish I had known you needed one.
