Never would have guessed.

Make or break

Obviously inspired by IKEA.

Someone said their furniture is screwed just after you are. There are made to see if you know the limits of tension and how to regulate it otherwise is it tight enough to be usable before you snap and heave it out the window (Did you remember to open the window first)?

Apparently he’s not George Nakashima.

So do I. That is, me and Ikea.

And paintings, apparently.

She uses the term “makes” loosely. He got the trick chair.

Makes and breaks it.

My woodworking skills ranks right up there with my skills to perform brain surgery. If I put up a shelf in a closet and it doesn’t fall down, I consider it a major success.

I went to a college prep high school. About 95% of the class went onto college. None of us took “shop.” There wasn’t even such a class in the curriculum. Consequently, I am “dumb from the neck down.”

Pity if that’s’ not George.

It’s collapsible furniture.

Not everyone has the same skills. To each his own..that’s why there are the trades…plumbers, electricians, roofers, etc

Fortunately, George’s last effort caused a backache……

That explains the three-legged chair.

And you should see the credit limit on his Ikea card!

George likes to call this his floor model.

“Now he’s looking into plumbing.”

Now George has his own joint failure!!!

“….It keeps him VERY busy.”
