When we are talking about recycling woods, a construction area can be one of the best spot! If you are familiar with the family game called " Jenga", you could for sure see why this bench is named the Jenga bench.

With different piece of wood that I thought would be a good way to build it without too much. I liked simplicity, so seeing that I needed a better stool for my kitchen would make a great addition at home.
To get started with this project I had to break down all the pieces needed from the wooden plank I've found in the trash container.
Because this stool only used small parts I was able to cut the thin slats with my miter saw.
These pieces are just over 35 cm long for 9 cm large and for this project you will need 22 of them.
Each slat then had an edge cleaned up at the table saw with a taper sled. I first start by cleaning each pieces with the sanding machine to have a flat surface and this also allowed me to get a decent cut at the miter saw to cut the pieces to final length
Using the same process that the Jenga game, I have been able to build one piece after the other the entire bottom part then for the top and final part I just needed to put 4 pieces next to each other (if you cut them well enough, they will give you a perfect square).
I like this finish the best for reclaimed wood indoor projects as it retains the natural wood look without darkening over time.
I hope as usual that this project will inspire you to recycle more and catch you next time
Mr ATC for another idea of housing!

looking forward in seeing you're ideas on kid's bedroom. I have a grandchild that's in that age ready to leave sleeping with mom .So if you can make it interesting for a 5 year old boy to want to stay in his own bed room would be nice.Well can't wait.
