Built a Bookshelf from Old Pallets — Not Perfect, But Proud!
I’ve been trying to upcycle more and cut down on costs, so I took a shot at building a small bookshelf using some old pallets I had in the garage. Took way longer than I expected (lots of sanding…), but I finally got it standing and it’s surprisingly sturdy! Not gonna lie — some of the shelves are slightly uneven and I had to re-nail a few things more than once, but I learned a ton and I think I caught the DIY bug. If anyone has tips for working with reclaimed wood or smoothing rough cuts, I’d love to hear them. Also happy to share progress pics if anyone’s interested! submitted by /u/TheGreatJoshy [link] [comments]
