Got relatives visiting? Get privacy fast with a DIY room divider!

House guests are great, until you're desperate to have one single thought to yourself, which could be 10 minutes after they arrive. Be prepared for guests by building a folding privacy screen. And the design is compact enough that you can stow it easily after they leave. If they ever leave. In this video you'll learn to design and build your own privacy screen using basic power tools like a jigsaw and drill.
"Anything I Can Do" Host Mag Ruffman makes the mistakes so you don't have to.

When do we get some 2024 shows? Thanks for sharing love this!

[@Krycky]

Grew up watching these with my sister when we were younger. I have 2 daughters and showed them 1 episode and they were hooked. I get the angle of quirk you were going for and I like seeing the project “mistakes” that we all experience haha I would love to know where to view all 52 episodes, I want to rewatch them with them (I hope it’s part of your website revamp and more are posted there! )
