Many years ago we bought a shoe rack basket type thing. Over time it fell apart and I did a patch up job on it with a few screws. It didn’t work very well and started falling apart again. The final straw came when Amelia fell onto it and the whole thing just crumbled and and fell apart. Emma wanted to put it in the bin. I wanted to do a proper fix up job on it.
Bits missing, wood snapped – this will not do
Starting to put it back together. Glued and dowelled. No screws whatsoever…well, except to hold the wicker seats on.
Almost back together. Undercoat being applied.
The finished piece. You can sit on it and everything.
Quite proud of myself.
