the carpenter w/ the rusty saw

ok, i wanted a shelf for my toys. and when i checked the mall, ack, they were quite expensive. I think i need to hire a carpenter, and buy some wood. No carpenter available, I'll just have to do this on my own. Paper, pen, dimensions, varnish, nails. Borrowed my neighbor's saw. It took me an hour to saw off one board because it was already dull and rusted. I thought it would take me months to finish. Donna convinced me to buy a saw. In less than 30 mins, I was finished. Oh so that's how easy it is w/ a sharp saw. hehe.
In paper I had a different plan, when I was hammering already. It seems you need more than just aesthetic taste to design a shelf. It was shaky at first, I had to reinforce it w/ more wood and more foundation in the base. Donna did the varnish, she was dizzy from the vapor afterwards. :) Sorry uyab. Everyone helped sand the boards, my thanks to aia, chenette, aldric, and donna. My gratitude for indulging.
Price: 1 1/2" plywood board (500php); 250 grams of 1" nails (15php); 1 saw (300php); 1 2"x1" wood (75php); 3 bottles of varnish ( 75php); 4 #120 sandpaper (80php)
The satisfaction of having made your own shelf; savings from not buying the mall versions; 2 blisters on my hands; a new home for our toys/hobbies - PRICELESS.. :)
