Shelves from old futon

Every 1st of the month is NYC it’s futon graveyard on the streets – here’s a good project you can do instead of tossing them, make shelves. Gorillapoop writes –

Turn an old futon into some sweet new shelves. Concept by Gabe Nathanson. He’s the original “suspension invention” inventor. This particular design/implementation by me.

Ingredient list:

• Turnbuckels – 1 per threaded rod
• Threaded Rod – i used 1/4in
• 1 old futon – or other shelf like wood
• box of washers
• box of nuts (both should fit the threaded rod)

Tools:

• drill
• dremmel – optional
