Big Doin's This Weekend

I'm cleaning up my completely-trashed craft room and working on some long-delayed home improvement projects. The components for one of the latter are almost all assembled and it's been in the making for years, y'all. Years.

You know how sometimes you have a problem, and you make do with half-hearted solutions for a while, and you keep muttering and sketching on the margins of your notes during excruciatingly boring meetings at work and puttering around with tape measures and even little cardboard models, trying to figure out how the HECK someone hasn't resolved this already because SURELY there's at least 7 other people in the sea of humanity on this planet who have your exact same problem -- and then one fine day, after months of periodically Googling it just to see if someone's come up with something new, you find the suppliers and plans and examples you need to finally, finally solve it? I'm there, thanks to a crucial suggestion from the Boy Scout, and I am absolutely posting the steps and results for that sucker.

What's that you say? You want a hint? Coriander seeds, star anise, mace, garam masala, and herbs d'Provence.
