Well I saw an idea in here a while back and wanted to make one similar as I work with wood generally when my health wasn’t on the fritz. I still have a few things to add to it, and I’m going to stain and polyurethane it and make it nice n shiny. But this is what I’ve come up with so far, I will add photos as I finish it up. Bear in mind it was all made from scraps, so due to twisted boards and such I couldn’t get my 45’s as tight as I’d have liked to. Budget is 0$ atm so I’m just working with what I have around the house. First time I posted a topic, hope it’s not out of line, just didn’t know where else to feature it. 🤷🏻 :yo-yo: ![IMG_1409](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/1/6/616b19eec7749f967c957b2e0ce69a4bb029af29.jpeg) ![IMG_1410](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/0/8/f08a31dab0766af1f96b57b2a48fe8e91b34d2ec.jpeg) ![IMG_1412](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/d/0/ad0d315d9cef32396fa2185d60db1386a80224cc.jpeg) ![IMG_1413](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/b/7/db7da20c170e64e75d686a2499ebc5844d0b391c.jpeg) ![IMG_1418](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/4/0/b40e63042f84d466ead79ef81a7988865881e409.jpeg) ---

I used to make a lot of my furniture from wood scraps in my Queens NY apt. When I finally did have a gf, she wasn’t a fan of my carpentry skills. 🙂 But it was all functional, got the job done. ---

Got the backer piece cut, sanded and added on, tried to pick the best grain pattern from what I had. Still want to make and install some trim around the top section, and install the wall mounting hardware before I do a final sanding and begin the pre-stain, stain and polyurethane. More to come as time, health and weather allows… ---

Will give one last update when I have decided and have it mounted and loaded up with throws! :yo-yo: ---
