YOU'RE MAKING some...Shelves | |
|---|---|
| Don't shelve this idea. Sure you could just fix a plank to a wall, but you could also put boxes or odd shapes up with hooks or hidden compartments. Whatever you design and build must take into account how it is mounted. |
OUT OF...Borrowed furniture | |
|---|---|
| Go ask your neighbours for a piece of furniture they no longer want and tell them what you'll turn it into. Caveat is that you have to give it back once finished! |
USING...Solid to shape | |
|---|---|
| Chisel it, just a little bit. Take a solid initial block (gluing up a piece to start from is okay), then either chisel, slice, saw, sand or grind your way to a finished piece. No fixings should be used. |

Be sure to add #m38project to any online posts and tag @maker38uk if you can. Always great to see what gets created.
Further info
Most of these project ideas and options have been selected to be as accessible as possible to a wide range of people. They should be considered as starting points for your own ideas and plans to be developed from and are intentionally ‘open’ so that different makers will create different designs whilst overcoming the challenges of the material and tool restrictions that have been chosen for them.
Depending on the limitations of someone’s workshop the generated project might not always be suitable, so if that happens you can just generate another.
The above doesn’t limit you from sanding, adding polish or finishes, and above all else, make sure that however you’re working on a project that you do so safely and with supervision or help where necessary.
Top thing to remember, have fun with this. Be inventive, share the challenges you faced and also let everyone see what you created.
