Waste not, want not...

Everything that is outdoors and not hunting or shooting. Talk about fishing, 4wd, archery, camping, motorbike riding etc etc.

Waste not, want not...

Post by Buffy »

The missus has been onto me for a while to build her an outdoor lounge and table for the balcony. I managed to score some timber in the form of old aircraft component pallets.

This is the result. Took me about 4 hours to make. Now I just have to make the table.

Thanks guys, these cushions aren't the ones that are designed for it, just ones off our old outdoor setting. I'll be making fitted ones this week that will attach to the lounge.

Well done Buffy, pity more people didn't take the time to do more of that kind of stuff instead of just chucking it at the tip or burning it. :D

Yep good to see this stuff being used.

I have a heap of stuff left over from building the house that I use for different jobs. Timber I beams make decent shelving, pet cages add ons to the cubby house :D

And even better you can make your own cushions!

I do like the pots on top :lol:

The cash you saved could go towards some bolts for that beast you acquired.

This just doesn't go down well on a shooting forum mate. Try using tissues that will save having sticky fingers. :lol:
