Last night, after dinner, I convinced my husband and flatmate to check a pile of industrial waste. I then convinced them the wood would be great for my workshop. We walked home with bits of timber in hand. It joined the bits that I had taken and reworked the day before..
Want to see the results of the day?

And after...
Resourceful hu? I absolutely love turning something out of nothing. I read on a blog that a fellow was complaining prices were too high for up-cycled items. Well if the bloke had ever done reno jobs from wood like this he wouldn't complain. The nails in this timber were unbelievable. I needed to buy pincers and a small hammer to rid the wood of hundreds of nails. Putty, cutting, sanding, gluing, screwing...wholly smoke that's a lot of work. Its much easier to go to the hardware and buy it new and clean, but there's no where near the satisfaction. Ive a bit more left for a few more holders....coming soon!
