They saw a picture online and wanted a drywall planter box for their patio. I explained how rain would soak right through and collapse it. We settled on a wooden frame with proper siding. Sometimes the craziest ideas come from too much time on Pinterest.
I was building kitchen cabinets, and the drawer boxes kept twisting out of square. Tried all my clamps, but they still shifted when I screwed them. Remembered my grandpa's trick with off cuts. Cut scrap plywood blocks to brace the corners while the glue set. Now the drawers slide perfectly. That simple fix saved the project and made my week. Why do we overlook scrap wood for solutions? Anyone have similar stories?
