A1: Something which I have made and am quite proud of is a shoe rack for my sons—a place for them to put their shoes, when they're not wearing them. Maybe you're thinking: why are you proud of a shoe rack? Well, the main reason I'm talking about it is because... honestly, my mind's gone blank and I can't think of anything else I've made! Anyway there are a number of reasons why I was proud of this thing that I made. Firstly, I'm not a carpenter! I've never made anything before with wood, and also I solved a problem... One night, about 2 years ago, my wife walked into our sons' bedroom and it was a really dark night. Anyway, she nearly sprained her ankle on one of their shoes. They were always... their shoes... scattered around the bedroom. Her ankle looked quite bruised the next day. So at that time, I decided to make a shoe rack. With my oldest son, we took a tape measure and measured how long and wide it should be. Next we bought a piece of timber. Anyway, we got home and I got out my... my saw and... a pencil and ruler. We measured the lengths and then cut the pieces. OK, we cut the lengths, then we smoothed off the rough edges with a file. Next we got some nails and a hammer and we nailed the pieces together. My oldest son, Aaron said, "Dad we need to paint it." I agreed. We got out some... ahhh... cream-coloured paint. We put two coats of paint on that shoe rack. I was proud of what the boys and I had accomplished. We'd solved a problem and, at the same time, spent some quality time together. We still have that shoe rack. It's still helping to keep my boys' room tidy... and no more sprained ankles for my wife!
