Wood box for firewood so my husband didn't have to go out in the cold at night when we were using our fireplace. 

Nice Barb, a good fire box is a must when using a fireplace. I remember growing up, I had to stack logs at the back door. So when we brought them in, had to sit them next to the fireplace to melt the snow.

I think I built a shoe rack for my dorm room in school. I’m pretty sure it was three pieces of MDF nailed together and lasted less than a week…

As a young lad made a lot of things for myself or tried to make them long before anyone ever ask me to make something for them.

I got into w'wing just before I retired. Before that it was just plywood and 2 x 4's.

This is my first request. Nothing original.





I would not want it for myself, but it was just what she asked for.
