Chain and scrap wood table...

Crafty DIYers
 

I like it. I like the chain and I like the wood grain. Gotta wonder how they got the worn away look in the wood grain without visible tool marks. Wire brush followed by sand blasting?

Just a wire brush on old weathered wood.

Wow - those are gorgeous.

You could have your very own Harry.

When times are tough you can always burn it for heat.
Would be best to have a fireplace or stove though.

This is so fucking cool I'm salivating... I can picture this in Griftopia.

I like that a lot. I probably would have gone a little more deliberate on the glass colors, but still. Very cool.

Hmmm... my cousin does stained glass and I've got the bike bits.

I don't know, yeah cool but they don't looking comfy. They could be, but not inviting. :confused:

Mos def.:yesnod:

My balls in a corner pocket...

Structurally good, carefully planned and executed, ugly as hell. Just not pleasing to look at, different for differences sake.

The bike/glass work is marvelous...

...but I have to admit, a design automatically annoys me when I see gears placed in a configuration where they can't actually crank.

For example, these gears won't turn, and so the "making it work" metaphor is ironically broken:

Yeah, a little hilarious actually.

1~We are freeborn sprockets.
2~We each have our color, shade, and destiny.
3~We will not comply with the human plans.
4~We will not be subjugated, will not mesh.

WE ARE SPROCKETS!! HEAR US ROAR!!



PS, the gears are on their own, fuck them.

Here we have a bronze in the vein of that wood carving in post #137.

maybe it's one of those arty pieces that transforms into the image of a nakey woman when viewed from one particular angle.

Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat...

Nice bench, looks like the hide is suspended, so it should be more comfortable, but that also means it might have to be replaced periodically.

A clutch of Camels?

They make it look so easy.

I don't think it is. One little mistake on any surface and the camel looks like crap.

A bad move on the lathe and you've got a Dromedary. ;)

There was a lot of thought that went into that piece.

Awesome.

:notworthy

But when they thought about it, they ended up going around in circles. :rolleyes:

OK, when you're sitting around with a full tummy, too stuffed to do much, whip out your jackknife and personalize your gitfiddle.
I'd guess it was carved then glued on, but that's only a guess.

Carved then glued back together, maybe, but you couldn't add a whole outer layer of wood to the body without completely fucking up the sound it made.

A little poking around..
Dude who made it is AR Nelson, and he's active on the Acoustic Guitar Forum.
He's got a huge thread that details the construction of the guitar, much like my band saw thread, but way more impressive.

And youtube video to show how it sounds.

Nope, no way, not me...

I saw these while doing an installation last week.

In the last one I tossed in a 250 year old salad bowl. ;)

Those tables and bowl look like they're in somebody's basement.

Rustical bench...

Carve up old bones, next time the dog drags home part of a human.

Ye olde garden gate...

The woman is an antique dealer. We put a new HVAC system in for her. They are in her storage bay area.

Narrow back, wide seat, mixed message chair...

Another great gate...

Brilliant.
An old classmate of mine does metalwork for a living. Her designs are amazing.

That's pretty.

I like her style. Take the Owl & Bird, replace the Owl's spots with stars and make a gate at the White House. :thumb:

It's complicated...

Those were complicated and intimidating so how about a simple cutting board.

Chick chairs...

While you're settin' on the porch whittlin' with your pocket knife you can depict an event.
This guy shows the birth of a tree.

Rustic bench...

I like this one.

Don't fret the zombies...

It's called a Cockfight Chair because it was depicted in a number of paintings of Cockfights. It was said to protect spectators and handlers from errant claws. But that's bullshit, it was invented to accommodate the growth of libraries and people reading books. You could use yours to hold the camera for your porn selfies... or cockfights.

Major Tom's coffee table.

I like that

Yeah, that is kinda neat.

Notice only one sperm made it through the glass. :haha:

Saw dat.

Why you no good so and so..

Just don't drink Jim Beam.

You'll be fine.

Eh. It's OK.

Seems the "natural edge" trend is growing.

I like both those beds.

The touch sensor butterflies are a neat idea.
