Hi, Steemians!
Well... The year began flawlessly, on 31th December with a wedding, a christening and New Year's Eve, all on the same day. Then, 2 weeks of holidays.
Plans for the holidays!!
Exercise body and mind, gym every day, read more and make some shelves for the kitchen pantry that (my super woman) asked. Everything as planned, with some absences to the gym but without remorse.

Well... shelves... Never worked with wood... nothing to worry about.
Let's gather material:
- 10 scrap pallets I brought from my company
- Buy electric sander
- Borrow a saw / electric planer (from my father)
- Varnish
- Screws and bushings
- Shelf holders
- Other tools you already have at home
It's not that I got hooked on this!!! My search trends on youtube have changed completely :) woodworking, woodcarving, woodturning, chisel's, electric mini drill, etc etc etc ... lol
I am even waiting for an aliexpress delivery of an electric mini drill.
Ok, stages of the process ... taking out the planks from the pallets is the most ungrateful work, I did not find any tools to help me, I saw some personal DIY videos with iron, but I still do not have logistics or skills ... (if anyone know some projects please tell me)
Okay, Hammer and Strength. Planks cut to size, join with carpenter wood pegs/glue, and fine sanded.
Here the clean aspect of a sanded and normal one.
Now, varnish wood ... varnish everything and 6 hours later, repeat, wait 12 hours and they are ready to be fixed on the wall.
Et voilà! ... unfortunately I do not have a photo to compare before and after but the use of space is enormous.
The most interesting thing is that after starting woodworking, I only see related scenes in the day to day, as an example, it's on display in the Discovery Channel a series on wood "RedWood Masters", the following day arrives in the mail a leaflet of the supermarket with wood working tools, coincidence or not, it can even be a sign to dedicate myself seriously.
Nice weekend my friends!
