I built a coal bin for my engine yard. Balsa and 1/4" square stock. I stained it with a dark stain and put a black wash over that. Filled in the center with some foam before pouring in the "coal".

Looks great!
What do you use that big wood clamp for. Did you really use one of that size on balsa this small?
I used to do woodworking, but I sold my whole woodshop, I kept all the clamps. One day I hope to have a hobby shop (micro sized machines). I am simply curious about the use of that particular clamp.
Separate project- just repairing some cabinet pulls. They have wooden trims on brass pull and the wood falls off sometimes. The clamps are holding the wood piece in place till the gorilla glue sets. The bin was assembled with a hot glue gun. Other than the strings from the glue, I like that you don't have to wait for carpenters or white glue to dry.
