One Man`s Trash #9

One Man`s Trash #9

My father-in-law had some old wood that he said I could use, so I decided to try to make a bookcase.

It took me a while, and I made lots of mistakes; one reason was because a lot of the wood wasn`t straight. However, I`m creative and - like my finished bookcase - flexible, so I discovered ways around this problem. Some of the techniques I used would make my high-school woodwork teacher`s pens explode from the top of his long socks like rockets if he knew, but in the end I`m pretty happy with the result.

The next big challenge is making my wife let me use it in the house...

You have really wonderful skill.I am little envious your one.When I cut a board with a saw,the cut of the board was curved.I can sew straight a cloth by my hands or machine, though.

Oh,good job!

Is a "Good job!" polite expression?

Yes, the color is similar to antique furniture, isn`t it? Maybe because the wood which I used was quite old.

I'm surprised to hear it wan't a piece of cake for you who can do fine woodblock prints.  It could be a mission for you to convince your wife to bring it inside of your house though...
