My biggest fear is that Google is going to serve me an ad showing that Wayfair sells a headboard just like this for a hundred bucks.

While working on the headboard, I had a brainstorm for a new invention using materials on hand. Sparky tried it out, and is eager to use it next time we go camping.
Do normal people have headboards to keep their stuff in?
I had one as a kid, and liked it. It’s time I had another one, so started building it. I’m on the polyurethane stage of the game.
“But Uncle, that just looks like a bunch of pallets stapled together.”
Clean as a whistle, even before it was swept.
If I put Sparky in the stove, I could get a really cute photo of him looking up the chimney flue.
I’m not going to do that, but I do want to try.
I just finished the second phase of getting a dental implant.
When he was done, Dr. Morgan showed off the torque wrench he used to set the post in my jawbone. He really likes this torque wrench because it doesn’t need to be calibrated for at least a 100,000 cycles.
I like that Dr. Morgan understands his tools and appreciates quality.
These IKEA cube shelves stick out too much. Shallow shelves are needed to use that space for storage, but not take up any extra space in the room.
While working on the bedroom cabinets, I found this wretched hive in the corner of the garage about 4 feet from my worktable.
A few yellow jackets have been buzzing around for a week. Now I know where they’ve settled. Rather than hose them down with hornet spray or put on the bee suit to play Hulk smash, I dusted them with Sevin insecticide.
In a day or so, they will be back in hell.
I was wondering about headboards. Before I build a headboard, there has to be a place to put it. A headboard could cantilever off the end of the bed platform, but that leaves a lot of empty space between the bed platform and the wall.
It’s a medium sized bedroom in a small house. That space can’t be wasted, so I want to build cabinets. Two cabinets below to hold spare bedding, sheets, towels and pillows. A small cabinet on top to hold pill bottles that usually sit on top of the dresser. Same thing on the other side of the bed.
