Got about twelve cubic meters of timber from within walking distance of my house just lying around in ordinary suburbia.

Unless you need more than 6-8 1-yard boards, you should be able to carry it from the hardware store to the busstop and from the next busstop home.

>> No.185707

A lot of timber places will deliver, because they send materials out to construction sites daily. Call them up and ask. Unless you don't have a phone either.

Can you get lego?
You can make a lego bookshelf.

>> No.185776

>>185761
Unless you build some sort of interior support and just have a layer of Lego on the outside for show, a Lego shelf won't really be feasible.

Also, it will be expensive.

>> No.185782

get some cardboard boxes (arround 12' 30cm X 8' 20cm X 7' 18cm. That's a good format for regular books.).
Place your boxes with the open face shown.
Put your books inside and then, make a pile with the boxes.
It works. I'ts ugly but it works.

(or else, ask a fiend, a relative or nyone who has a driver license to move your wood.

Get a friend that has a truck.

I know that feel OP. In high school none of the girls were interested in doing anything until I got a car either.

This. Use document clips or something similar to secure the boxes together, pic related. If you're feeling fancy, cover the whole thing in a few layers of paper maché for strength and decoration.

>that feel when I acquired some railway sleepers for some shelving in my spare room

everyone comments on them, not that I have friends, or that anyone comes round my house, or anyone else has seen the shelving but me, but people would if they seen them.

>> No.185829

building yards deliver especially the more DIY oriented ones like Wicks. If you haven't got a car though its hard to say what you could salvage to make something, I once helped a friend put bricks into his wall facing the wrong direction then placed concrete slabs on them for shelving it looked good for what he wanted.

Milk crates. Steal from convenience stores when they stack them outside. (Nobody will miss them, i promise.)
Duct tape them together.
Screw to wall if you get too tall and it leans forward.

Utilitarian, but fantastic because your bookshelf doubles as your means of storage when you need to move them when you eventually do get a vehicle.

Go to a pub and ask for some crates, I got told to do it when I was working a summer job for a bricky to use when he needed just a little height, glad to get rid of them.

Once my dresser drawers broke, so i just ripped off the front and i drilled screws in to hold the drawers in place.

its ugly, it took 10 minutes and i made myself a shitty book case, but it works and nobody sees it. and i didn't waste those drawers.

Then i found a new dresser on the street.

I have no license to drive. I get whatever I need, its called walking and patience. If I have to carry every god damn two by four home one at a time on my shoulder that's what I do. You need to learn how to be more independent. Stop letting people tell you no. It's only six miles to the nearest lumber yard from my house. Not much of a walk if you ask me.

Just look on Craigslist in services offered. There is almost always someone with a truck for hire. You can get the shit delivered for like twenty or forty bucks.

If you can't afford twenty or forty bucks then stay the hell of DIY.
