OUR time indoors as a result of the coronavirus lockdown has inspired many people to turn to DIY projects – with some crafting absolutely incredible pieces to be displayed in the home or garden.
While mums and dads have been spending hours, if not days, working on impromptu tasks to keep busy, it seems that kids too are taking part in some DIY fun, with the work of one young boy winning over DIY fans online.

Proud mum Natalie Lowe has praised the work of her 13-year-old son after he built a mud kitchen for his younger brother out of an old pallet and some scrap wood.
The kitchen is complete with a four burner hob, a sink and even has “William” – the name of his 18-month-old brother plastered across the front – and people can’t believe how good it is.
Naturally, Natalie was impressed by her son’s efforts and shared pictures of the finished project on Facebook.
In the post shared to the DIY On A Budget, Natalie wrote: “My 13 year old son…. Made this today for his 18month old brother, out of an old pallet & some scrap wood…. So so proud of him, he’s done an amazing job.”

The photos showed off the youngster’s workmanship which could easily pass as the work of an experienced, and much older, carpenter, and you’d be hard pressed to find another as good – especially done for free.
Unsurprisingly, it’s not just Natalie (and us) who is blown away but her young boy’s craftsmanship as the post has garnered over 2k likes and comments.
Shocked to learn the project was completed by a 13-year-old boy, one woman said: “Omg NO WAY! I’ve seen those going for up to $100 and over. By men! Good on him! What a brilliant effort.”
While another said: “What a beautiful boy you have…and so talented too!”

“This is amazing!”, a third proclaimed, “Oh my goodness its perfect!”
And a fourth person touched on the sweet nature of her son: “Great pair of hands on him and generous nature. A great future ahead of him.”
And it’s true – if the boy was to have a future as a builder, he would definitely excel after showing such promising skills already.
Until then, he could continue sharing his expertise with DIY fans online because it seems he’s racked up quite a following himself.
In other DIY news, we shared how a DIY fanatic transformed her kitchen for under £100 by painting EVERYTHING – including tiles, floors and worktops.
And another crafty son transforms his mum’s junk-filled shed into a trendy outdoor bar for free using old paint and scrap wood.
Meanwhile, this mum created an incredible garden teepee for her kids using a broken bike shed and old net curtains for less than £20.
