Well, I've purchased the necessary pieces to build the drawer. My plan is to cut them to size, and glue the whole construct together, since I...
Here's a photograph of what a complete pill-roller looks like. Mine is missing the drawer at the bottom. It looks pretty easy to make... [IMG]

OK that shouldn't be too difficult. I considered just stacking books on top of them without applying heat. Would that work as well? Or not?...
How do you straighten your ivory? Do you do it with the curve facing towards the flat surface, or the curve facing away? I'm just using the steam...
