You can tell Daniel is keen to win.
A question, if we're allowed - was this something you chose to make, or were told to make?
None of the above.
I seem to remember that there was a choice of two or three items to be made and I chose this one.
An obscure hint: the item was used by my parents for many years. Without modification, its purpose changed from around 1982 onwards.

A bit of wood for them to beat you with? You were 17 in 1982 and thus too big for them to beat. From them on it was hung on the wall, where it remains to this day, inspiring fond memories for all - a real Turnbull family conversation piece!

An egg-rack?
Later used as hamster climbing frame one Derek had left home for university and it was safe to have animals in the house again?

I did contemplate "toothpicks" and "sawdust", but for now I'll go with bookends?

A boot rack
A walking stick rack

All incorrect, but will be rejected one at a time as other guesses come in so you need to wait for six more guesses from other people before you are allowed another guess.

Was it more or less boring than any of the above...? Or, did it become more or less boring after 1982?

Yes, which turned into a CD rack in 1982. It looked something like this...

Glenn's turn.
Daniel has to wait for five more guesses before he can guess again.

My turn. Now I just have to think of a question.
