So what did I make with my new power tool??


In my last post I showed you my new power tool and I promised to show you what I created with it!

I've been looking around for paper storage for my 12 x 12 sheets.
There are so many choices and I've been umming and aaahhing about what to choose.... vertical... horizontal......ect.

I've been quite envious of the storage BFF had custom made for her a few years ago -you can get a glimpse here.
So everything I've looked at since then just hasn't compared and I can't find anything like it in the stores.

So I decided to create my own!!!

Here I am hard at work using the new jigsaw, cutting my side panel to size.

Notice my work safety approved shoes!!!

Here are my draws almost completed.... just needing a good paint


And here they are in there new home all painted and filled with paper.




So it was my first go at making anything like this and there are few little quirky characteristics to it that I love and hate - but I'm proud as punch to have made this from scratch and it works!!!!
