Making Storage Boxes From Bed Slats #diy #storage #boxes #furniture

[Music] now living rooms are many things to many people they're somewhere to snooze on the sofa after work it's somewhere to put your feet up it's somewhere to watch Telly or [Music] film or something thing and it's also a playground for when the grandson's [Music] [Music] over now in this living room I have uh a bench that I built probably 10 years ago when I was in uh when I was living in Spain I built two of them and they ended up being taken to the Netherlands where I left one and when I came back to the UK I bought this one with me and it's now used as a TV stand but referring back to the uh the playground bit it's also a stand for many other [Music] things now this is a bit just to uh tidy it up a little bit so what I'm going to do I'm going to make a couple of boxes to slide underneath the bench bit well bench TV stand bench bit whatever you want to call it slide in and out uh not fixed to it just go fit under it and then you put stuff under there and it sort of Tides up the [Music] area and I'm going to make this yeah bed [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] slots I've got these bed slots yeah bed slots again I found a double bed dumped on the side of the road I had the bed slats well of course I did you didn't think I was myself into a hotel and had it away with the bed slats no it's all roadside H anyway this is what I have to make what I need so I better may you fit I better keep these things crossed that things go to plan plan what's a plan I'm doomed before I start so I'm going to need it works out the space underneath that bench that I can use is 100 20 cm and that works out at 40 if I wanted three drawers 60 if I wanted two but then it's too tight so I'm going to do perhaps two at 59 wide each or maybe three at 39.5 each I quite like the idea of two yeah quite like the idea two that doesn't mean I'm not going to do three but anyway I can't do anything until I work out how much I got here then can I make it out of this [Music] o 137 and some that gives me plenty doesn't it but if maximum I need is 120 and I've got 1 I could just do one big one one big old draw but that'll be Clum I think i' go for two and I actually worked out that I can have it 28 cm tall so how does that work out it works out as for I was going to call them sheets then no they're planks oh look yeah he works out as four so therefore jeez I think I've got just enough this is going to be tighter than an n's but uh I think I've just got it ah fck it let's start [Music] nah [Music] so know I said it was probably tighter than a Nat's ass it turned out tighter this this was as though that Nat's ass was so tight it could produce freaking diamonds look what I've got there are the 16 pieces I need for the sides they're the 16 p pieces I need for the fronts and the backs and that's all I had left out of those pieces Jesus man Jesus I better make sure I not fck up cuz I can't go back H how am I going to do this how shall I have them look right imagine if these were the fronts you looking at it from the front right but there'll be four of them but imagine H I might have the corners looking like that or I might have some Corners looking like that and I might alternate it like that might do actually I think I will do so I quite like that I mean in the end these are probably going to be painted so you won't really see it so is it worth doing how not it makes it interesting for me doesn't it come on come on come on if I don't do something interesting I'm just making freaking boxes aren't I right I'm thinking I'm going to alternate Corners yeah Chang my mind about those Corners I'm going to paint it that's why I put my th through you know it's it's easier just to do straight fronts not fancy Corners cuz they're going to be unappreciated they won't be seen they won't be seen so I'm going to go straight Corners not seen Corners I'm not making sense again welcome to Jeff World anyway let's get back onto the Recycled shite I'm going to put some batoning on the inside of the these uh these boxes to take take the strength be the strength be the scaffolding that I'm going to build it all on and I'm going to use this stuff and this is battening that is used when we have deliveries of cookers and things like that for to be put into the houses that I work on and they're just strengthening the packaging and they get dumped once the once the thing's been delivered and fitted it they get dumped and of course me being me scavenger scavenger I snaffle them and I keep them in my van and they come really handy fixing things you need a bit of battening for something you've got it there anyway I've got quite a lot of that stuff in my van now so I'm going to use this as the interior battoning R all that roadside bed stuff and chucked away package stuff hi [Music] a [Music] [Music] [Music] this [Music] [Music] no [Music] [Music] we [Music] we [Music] a [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] what a sticky day gluey gluey gluey M but anyway those coxes up I've got a lot of clean up to do once the glue's dry but hey that's a thing for tomorrow um not much I can do now got to pack up I well there's nothing to pack up I'm just going to walk out the door and come back tomorrow [Music] [Music] we need to be kind and sort out their little batties cuz at the moment there's none [Music] a sh [Music] [Music] so sides are up the batties are on all that's left to the sanding well then painting and all that sort of stuff yeah can't wait for this for the sanding yeah I'm really excited for the sanding and I fck [Music] n [Music] [Music] [Music] he a [Music] [Music] [Music] a [Music] me [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
