Lilly's Crate and pattern transfer question

[FIVEBYFIVE]

Here is what that pile of wood slats Leigh's dad game me. Not too shabby I think. Is it possible to heat transfer a pattern from an inkjet printer? Can I use a laser photocopier and transfer the pattern with an iron.

Michael,
Nice looking work with the slats! A laser printer/copier will do the trick for transfering images using an iron. Inkjets don't use heat in the process. Just remember to reverse the image and size it appropriately, before you print it. Good luck,

Great! You do realize that won't be big enough for Lilly for very long, right?

How much bigger should I have made it. Its 2.5 ft tall, 2ft wide, and 3ft deep. I was going to finish it, but I thought the smell would deter her from going in it.

My wife has used T-shirt transfer paper in her inkjet. It was especially made for the ink jet printer, don't know if it would transfer to wood. I think it wood (pun intended), but don't know.

The pictures of Lilly make me think that she is either a Rotty or at least part Rotty. Rottys grow up to be really large dogs. So it depends on whether or not you intend the crate to be used until she is house broken or longer. How big are her feet?

The average crate for a rottie would be about a foot bigger than that all around.

And don't forget the comfy blanket, toys etc... Go on let her sleep on the sofa; you know you want to:lol: :lol:

5x5,

Hey, the dog house looks good to me. Just make sure it's big enough for you to sleep in when needed :lol:

Thanks for the complement about Lilly's house. I want ever have to sleep in it. When we got a new couch the old one went out into the garage. Now all I need to do is hook up the wood stove and I'll be set. Oh yea Leigh and I arent married yet, and the house is in my name. I hope I made Lilly's house big enough for her. hehehehahaha just kidding.
