Since retiring from being a history teacher I'm messing around w/carpentry.  Some things I've built.

Headboard and footboard for guest bed.

Beautiful I like them, unfortunately I failed in woodwork, I can still hear my woodwork teacher now, Moy how many times do I have to tell you, you can cut off but you can’t add. Poor old Mr Friar our teacher! I will stick with my welder just cut and grind for me is easier!

Yes I failed woodwork but hey I built my house so I can’t be that bad at it, measure twice cut once, and there’s two ends to a tape measure the correct end and the stupid end!

I'm repurposing all the old shelves in here for my grow benches. I just cleared out 17 years of dust and crap and about 47 nails to get these 8 foot boards 😂 some scrap 2x4s for braces and it'll be nice and ugly and bombproof. IMG_20260131_040045.thumb.jpg.0f897c4a6a355a6e1ec2e698126b3671.jpgIMG_20260131_040111.thumb.jpg.3a774049f1fe46e172ca7011272031b0.jpgIMG_20260131_040056.thumb.jpg.b9f06d4c9189fc15f46a4a2998b84cdc.jpg

Let's just say I'm having a bad mental health night. It's almost 5am. I took extra night night meds. I'm still fighting off the flu. I'm going out of my way to keep myself and literally burn myself out to sleep and despite all of that, SOB this janky contraption with the crooked saw cuts and the ancient warped bent shelves is perfectly level 😂 IMG_20260131_045254.thumb.jpg.348a60c68a564d1fa5ba7c11fd6005f7.jpg

 

Maybe I need to build myself a dresser for the bedroom.
