They come in all different shapes and sizes. Doug Chamney has been turning old window frames and washboards into unique frames. The Auburn man's creations were shown at the 18th annual Colborne Township Christmas Fair last week. ( Anne Narejko photo A CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26,1983 --PAGE 7 burn cra r n kes old win fsi..ws attractive Imagination can go along way, and when you have the drive to follow it through, the product can be very rewarding. Doug Chamney is one person who took his ideas and turned them into tangible objects. About one year ago Chamney started to attend flea markets and garage sales, picking up odd shaped window frames to refinish and make into creative mirrors. "I had seen the window frames with mirrors in them before and I really liked them. I've always liked working with my hands, so I made a few and gave them away as presents," explained Chamney. His hobby began to blossom as the result of the good response he received, so Chamney put another idea to work. "I'm always looking for odd and unusual frames and I thought that washboard mirrors wotfid be a good idea," he com- mented. The Auburn native takes the wash- boards, removes the glass from them, sands the frame down and then refinishes the wood, giving it either a natural or a stained look with a high gloss or satin finish. The mirrors come in all different sizes and shapes. They vary from four panes to six panes, with some of them having coloured glass added to them to highlight the mirrors. The washboard mirrors range from large to small. Even though Chamney has not been promoting the sales end of his craft as much as he would like to, he does have a few of his creative mirrors in The Blyth Saga and The Hollow in Benmiller. He was also been invited to the Colborne Township Christmas Country Fair last week. Chamney, who has displayedhe'es work at the Auburn fair and a few flea markets, has never taken his craft to anything as large as the Christmas Country Fair. He is going to go well prepared, taking a large variety of mirrors with him. Most of Chamney's sales have come from people wanting to buy gifts, and he claims, "they make great gifts because there are never two the same." But he gets more enjoyment out of making them, then he does selling them. Brussels restaurant destroyed by fire BRUSSELS - The Olympia Restaurant and Turnberry Upholstery were heavily damaged in an Oct. 15 fire that also left two families homeless. It took 45 firemen from four departments almost three hours to bring the blaze under control. The fire is believed to have started in the restaurant and spread to the apartments upstairs, burning through the roof at the back. Although the buildings are still standing, virtually everything inside them has been destroyed and damage may well exceed $100,000.
