I made shelves for shoes! I came really close to buying some a couple of weeks ago - from etsy, made of reclaimed crates - then realised how slack I was getting on the reuse front. I scavenged wood from three places:
- Some shelves I didn't need from the built-in cupboard in the bathroom;
- the bins across the courtyard;
- Grain & Sustain, who had some offcuts going spare.
And borrowed tools from a neighbour. I bought screws (and reused a few that I extracted from the G&S wood).
For want of a workshop, I did sawing on the beach and in my bedroom. I measured and planned; Dave helped me with drilling and solving some logistical issues.
It's pretty janky, but it functions, and it's MINE.
I don't think making shelves is my true calling though.
