There's something immensely gratifying about crafting usable or purely objects out of what used to be a bland log of wood.

This was a really cool article to read. While these are just everyday items you can go and buy at a store, making them yourself can add some kind of value to them. This article piqued my interest a little as I’ve somewhat gotten interested in making things myself. Throughout highschool, I built myself a bunch of shelves for my room using leftover butcher block my family had. Also if you end up breaking any of these items, you can go ahead and make a new one. I also found it really helpful that they give you a guide on how to make the items they listed rather than just listing them. It was surprising to me that you can make a lamp, more specifically, the lamp shade out of wood. Almost any lamp I see has a lamp shade that light can somewhat travel through. This is definitely something I may wanna try in the future.
