A Bookshelf Made From a Boxspring

So I was browsing over some cool projects at www.instructables.com, and came across this project to create a bookshelf. The original designer used plywood and a nailgun. I used the wood from a box spring my neighbor was going to throw away.

I managed to get some good pieces from the box spring, but unfortunately most of the wood was old and very very dry so it split in a few places. But nothing some wood putty won’t fix. The photos you see are of the “after” pictures, after I tore the padding and fabric off the box spring, separated the wood and removed all 2 billion staples from the wood, assembled the pieces and am now waiting for the putty to dry so I can sand it down tomorrow, and on friday stain it/airbrush it. I’m not so good at airbrushing, but then again I’m not very good at woodworking either.

If you want to see the original project, head on over to here
