Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | DIY Dynamo
Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!
This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.
Why Mischievous?
We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

How cool, I love the activity, thank you very much
First off, I would like to say thank you to @qurator for creating "Mischievous Mondays" contest.
So, for this week's theme: DIY Dynamo, I've been wanting to share with you a latest DIY project I made, something that would be both challenging and rewarding. And let me tell you, this one definitely pay me off.
On our warehouse there are cuttings and discarded racking system scrap. And guess what, I decided to build a single bed from scratch. Now, before you raise an eyebrow, hear me out. This not the average, shelving unit that is widely available in the super market. This was a sturdy and industrial grade racking system. The one use in warehouses, groceries and etc. It was destined for the junk shop, but I saw potential.
The first step, of course, was the disassembly and cuttings. It was a bit of a wrestling match, let me tell you. Those bolts were on tight! But eventually, I have device called GATO.
Next came the design phase. I spent a good hour sketching out different configurations, trying to figure out how to maximize the space and create a sturdy frame. I wanted something that looked simple and minimalist, but also something that could withstand the inevitable jumping and bouncing that comes with having a bed in the house.
The actual construction was a bit of a trial and error process. I started by bolting the main frame together, using my size 10 open wrench. Once the frame was complete, I moved on to the slats. I used some scrap plywood to create a sturdy base for the mattress.
The final step was the most satisfying: adding the finishing touches. I sanded down any rough edges and gave the entire bed a coat of grey spray paint. The result? A sleek, industrial-looking bed that I'm incredibly proud of.
The best part? Is, I already have a bed for an afternoon nap in the office. And knowing that I built something functional and stylish out of what was essentially trash, was just addional.
If you're thinking about taking on a DIY project, I highly recommend it. It's a great way to learn new skills, unleash your creativity, and create something truly unique. And who knows, you might even end up with a one of a kind piece of furniture from nothing like I did like I did.
