Fun with left overs

Trav threw out his old bed base so I ripped it down and decided to salvage some of the timber. One of those fake-matress ones with castors that's essentially a timber frame with a material outer over a cardboard shroud. It's pretty ordinary, really soft knotty pine. Not quite good enough to bother dressing down for real furniture. So I knocked up a frame to become a weights bench of sorts for my clutter. The top rail is actually made up of two T-pieces with a 10cm gap between them, so that loaded dumbells can sit safely on top without rolling.


The other side of the room however, still needs work!!! I think a 2nd shelf, and possibly another rack entirely will end up in here soon.
