Handywork...


Got a bit bored of working in my kitchen, and its quite hard to cook when there are litres of copper sulphate and bits of brass tube everywhere... So decided to build a desk.
I found a nice sturdy old tabletop in a junk shop for €5, then managed to assemble some bits of wood into legs.... Considering my general lack of formal training, its actually quite sturdy....

Have learned a couple of valuble lessons... such as sandpaper sands everything, including hands... you can use a hacksaw to build furniture, it just takes a while.... and there is a difference between thinking you can cut a straight line and actually cutting one (about 1-2mm in my case)
