Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.
Bah, I could do that for $200 in only a week or two.
I could probably do it for $800 and never finish it.
hah ! I spent all my retirement money on the power tools and never even started the woodwork
Real pros use chisels only, just as the Jesus intended
don’t fuck with the jesus !
Are you me, but with better skill? I do this all the time but the end result is like Homer Simpson’s spice rack.

So instead of a cheap Amazon furniture she got a more valuable hand made one. Seems like a good deal to me

my guess is yours look like what your wife wanted, wheres the amazon one would have looked like utter shit (also the quality), and nothing like the pictures on the site. so well done man.
also highly questionable origins and who knows what kind of conditions the assembly workers went through
On top of all that you had a nice weekend working on a hobby you enjoy. Can’t put a price tag on that.
It’s always the size.
My Mrs has bought heaps of stuff from Amazon only to find it’s about a quarter the size she expected.
So much nicer than Amazon or Ikea. Bah, fuck that crap, do anything yourself. I’m in the process of making a sofa because they’re painfully expensive or total crap here, learning to sew and anything about upholstery foam. Free yourself from the corporate tyranny & make it all yourself!
Hey have you ever considered acquiring more succulents?
I am a carpenter. I bought a jewelry rack for my partner off amazon. It broke in 2 months.
I assure you your time and effort will not go to waste as this is going to last a million times longer. Not to mention the brownie points!
Great work mate, much better than getting something store bought 🪚
Thoughtful gift for the wife. This guy knows whats up.
That tiny bit of pine wood cost 90 dollaroos?! Christ, no wonder I can never afford to make anything :-(
That’s like, 6 full weeks of house electricity payments right there, haha.
If he had bought a sheet and ripped his own slats on a table saw it’d have been cheaper. But then he’d have to have a table saw. Fabrication is mostly front loaded. If you aren’t equipped for it then economies of scale is working against you.
A forklift-themed party? That sounds awesome haha
I was gonna say! One of my friends had a mango-themed party. He didn’t even particularly love mangos; it was just a nice unified theme.
Remember to invite Klaus.
Bruh, save some drip for rest of us. Looks dope.
The shelf looks stunning! I’m a bit nervous about the plants at the bottom - they don’t have enough light. This part of the shelf would be perfect for some small gardening equipment and the plants could inhabit the window!
Yours will likely last a long longer and be much easier to repair though.
Ngl, it looks awesome 👌
Thank you for not lying 👍
Gonna lie, I think it sucks.
Looks great, are you single ?
