May I suggest additional practical skills that might combine with other badges?
The ideas posted are good but very much like Scouting badges, they are a start but not the essence or Point I believe in what Paul is suggesting to the reader.   For example; a Boy Scout in the Citizenship in the Nation merit badge requires the scout to write a letter to a member of congress and report.  The essence of getting the skill isn't about writing a letter but getting the user to engage with public officials and engage in political constituency discourse.

It seems like the essence of badges is lost when broken down to only given tasks in the merit category.  

For example;
For animal care, the creation of a chicken coop or a chicken run has a lot more practical skill than many of the above items.  A person acquiring this skill has to work with multiple tools (saws, drill gun, hammers, staplers, wood working, welded wire cutting / tin snips, hinges, etc.).  This is like the pinnacle of woodworking projects.

I think I've finished the first level of dimensional lumber badge! Is it just 3 projects?

Staff note :

At the moment your wood-burned sign BB is edge cased, which is not approved. You're almost there though.

I believe that I have completed all of the requirements for this sand badge by completing these BB's:

Lay 10 sticks for decking.

Wood burn a sign.

Make a simple toolbox.

Hey Jim, please refer to this post (https://permies.com/wiki/40/97720#1631747) higher up in the thread. There will be a thread just for the badge that you can submit for your new badge kinda like a BB

- Tim's Homestead Journal - Purchase a copy of Building a Better World in Your Backyard - Purchase 6 Decks of Permaculture Cards -
- Purchase 12x Decks of Permaculture Cards - Purchase a copy of the SKIP Book - Purchase 12x copies of Building a Better World in your Backyard

 
what if we put solar panels on top of the semi truck trailer? That could power this tiny ad:
