Is building/assembling shelves and furniture really considered DIY? Because hell yeah, I master that trout.
I'm looking into plans to put together a gorgeous tufted headboard for my bed shortly! Now that I have powertools in my household, I can do these things! :jess:

Will also be putting up shelving soon!
K, Shorty can you come over? I need you to assemble this coffee table while I cry in a corner.
I made a small CD shelf a while back. The "backboard" or whatever you want to call it wants to pop out a little bit, but you can't tell because it's against a wall.
In the future I'd like to make a bookshelf with the mini glass doors that slide down in front so you can look at them but keep most of the dust out.
Heck yes I will come over and assemble your coffee table. I will not be conquered by furniture, nor will I allow furniture to conquer my friends!Quote:

But like, if I buy something that requires assembly (we purchased a rather large gazebo for our back yard a couple weeks ago, for example) I never pay someone else to put it together for me, I always do it myself. I never buy prebuilt computers, I always build my own. Every bike I ever purchased I assembled. And then, of course, if something breaks in the house, if I have the ability, I fix it myself, such as our garbage disposal that blew up a couple months back.
I actually find doing these things oddly entertaining.
yes it does! I did this many times as well :)Quote:

I'd like to speak to the jerks in charge of writing those instructions so that I can get them fired. It's like they don't actually want us to assemble their furniture! :argh:Quote:

I was hoping this post was on masturbation. More pressing matters I guess.
Why not both? Building your own masturbation chair.Quote:
