Mucking about with hammers and twine.

When I'm bored I like to look at pretty pictures of stuff on the internet. And by stuff I mean design blogs. It can be inspiring. Today it inspired me to take some photos of my own stuff. Because we all need to appreciate the things we have, right? What's in the little emergency coolie bag???
"Box of Birds Mate!" Get it? They are Penguin classics! Emergency reading matter.


Do you know how hard it is to disassemble an ABC crate? The wood wants to break before the nails want to come out.
That's why instead of building a little set of shelves for a spice rack, I ended up with this. It's kind of a letter rack, with a compartment in the top. Maybe for pens and paper?
And for the grand finale....

Can you guess what it is??? (it's really hard to photograph it in a hallway)





Tiki Bar! Well, sort of. It's to go on the front of the DJ booth at a "Tropical Island" themed birthday party. I was lucky my Dad had some dried bamboo in the garage that he has been trimming off the neighbour's bamboo plant to keep it from taking over the section. It's all tied together with hemp twine! No nails! Easy to disassemble and recycle! (unlike ABC crates).
