    Fjellse turned storage bed?

    I am an amateur DIYer.

    My first few projects were built with simple tools mainly because I was terrified to use my circular saw. ..but whatever, they were practice projects just to get my feel wet.

    This looks a bit like overkill to me…but then again, I guess everyone’s needs are different.

    Talk to you in the next one!
