Big shoutout to @mchamberlainPE and @BarbaraBorden9 for this idea! Their pool noodle ring tag inspired Flick It 4 Corners.
Simple, inexpensive equipment with endless possibilities. Can’t wait to create more with these!

Frank Newell spent 38 years in the military. When he came home to his family farm in North Carolina, the bluebirds were gone.
When Frank was young, the fence posts around the pastures in Warrenton were wood, and Eastern bluebirds nested in them by the hundreds. When he came home decades later, the posts had been replaced with metal. The bluebirds had nowhere to nest and were disappearing.
Bluebirds can't excavate their own nest cavities. They depend on old woodpecker holes and natural rot in dead wood, both of which vanish when a landscape gets tidied up. So Frank started building them nest boxes by hand, 25 a week, with donated lumber and a Sears table saw that lasted him 33 years.
The word spread, volunteers joined, and businesses donated wood. The Eastern Bluebird Rescue Group, which Frank founded in 1996, has now built and distributed more than 500,000 bluebird houses, sold at or below cost. Warren County is now believed to hold the largest concentration of Eastern bluebirds in the United States.
Frank Newell has since passed away, but the group he started is still going, run by his daughter and son-in-law and a few dozen volunteers.
@Hania16836 Reminds me of my dad. I thought that is what a man is supposed to smell like only to realize that it was excellent marketing later on in life
