More Made Stuff

I found these table legs in the dumpster at work. I bought two pieces of laminated pine and attached them to 2x4's (also in the dumpster at work). I went through a couple of drill bits attached the legs, because whatever wood the legs are made out of is very hard. It's not pretty, but it works.

We needed drawers for the table/desk above, so I cut our old desk in half, and used one of the drawers for the desk/table, and one for our scanner and computer stuff.





We had a crappy old shelf that we had no use for in the new apartment, so I took it apart and screwed three of the shelves together for a keyboard stand. I put a coathook on the side for earphones.



We needed a heavy duty bookshelf, so I got two slabs of medium density fiberboard (MDF, as they say in the biz), cleft one in twain (as they say in the medieval biz) at a diagonal for the two uprights, and cut the other up into pieces to use as shelves.

I sprayed the top panel of this door in our kitchen with chalkboard paint. We use it for shopping lists. I don't know if it's worth not getting our security deposit back, but it's pretty useful.

I assume this cabinet used to contain an ironing board that was removed and replaced with glass shelves. I bought a tabletop ironing board and removed the attached folding stand. I removed the glass shelves -- breaking one in the process, of course -- and attached the ironing board to the original (wooden) shelf, using parts from the stand.
