The Family Handyman

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Picked up a copy of The Family Handyman issue “228 Storage Tips & Easy Projects” and I was pleasantly surprised to find all kinds of projects using commonly thrown away things. Some of the things they found use for:

  • PVC piping odds and ends
  • Old paint buckets
  • Altoid tins
  • Bulk CD cases
  • Coffee cans
  • Egg cartons
  • Variously shaped food containers

Tried to find a link to a site that sells this exact issue online, but no dice, and don’t even bother with their website, it seems to be mostly useless. The issue should be displayed until 04/08/2008 so search your local hardware stores.

Anyone else know of any good books/magazines that embrace the philosophy of upcycling?
