Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend. (lemmy.world)

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

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!
