Carrot wine and shoe racks

So I have been lending my hand to a bit of carpentry, Brandon decided it would be a good idea to give me the opportunity to design and make a shoe rack, and okay in all fairness it isn't the hardest thing in the world to make but I had such fun, we made it completely from recycled material, we made it from a large fence which was lying at my nans, first we cut this large fence into a smaller fence and installed it for my sister and then with the left overs from that we made the shoe rack and a shelf for the window sill to put some plant pots to start growing more herbs and vegetables etc. I will put pictures of the above up shortly.
The other day Brandon and I had been driving back from a plot of land we have just hired for veg growing with our friend Mark and we noticed a field of carrots that had been plowed but there were still thousands of carrots strewn across the field, so the next evening we decided to check it out, the carrots had started to be chowed by rabbits and bugs but there were still lots of healthy ones, most were either little or weirdly shaped or coloured, and it became obvious that these were left here to rot and be eaten they hadn't passed the shops high expectation on what veg should look like, so we took a couple of bucket full, and as well as making carrot cakes, biscuits and lots of roast veg we have decided to make some carrot wine, we have bought all the supplies needed such as sugar and sultanas and we are hoping to get it started this afternoon.
