Theme requirements:1. Use at least two different woods from two different countries.2. Include at least one non-wood element in the build.

Since 2×4’s are one of the most common and cheapest woods out there, I want to build a few projects using nothing but them.This is my first one in the new year.I have been using cardboard boxes for years and now I can replace them with simple wooden storage bins.
You can click here to watch the video on my YouTube channel.
Please let me know what you think about it.
Thank youPaul Pomerleau
