A cave man could do it... if he had bottle caps and epoxy. ;)

Cover the bench with a bear skin, the backrest with a tiger skin, a few slaves waving Ostrich tail feather fans, maybe plucking a lute an also a harp.
Near Naked women serving peeled grapes, dried figs, and wine chilled with snow carried by runners from the mountains.

Still doesn't match a La-Z-Boy and Netflix. :haha:

Nice.

A stern seat for a naughty odalisque.

Are you talkin' dirty? :eyebrow:

It's the first day of Summer in the top half of the globe so if your firepit isn't ready better get your ass in gear. :elkgrin:

You could make your own planes, although it's probably smart to buy the blades. They're a whole nother kettle of fish.

BigV 06-24-2017 10:50 PM

My god those are steep! They're practically scrapers instead of planes. wtf?

Reclaiming an industrial table/bench is easier than from scratch, but they've become pretty spendy because of increased demand and diminished supply.

You could whittle an Indian from some Cedar...

Gravdigr 07-05-2017 01:30 PM

Shouldn't take more than twenty minutes.

BigV 07-05-2017 01:41 PM

I've thought about that actually. But I haven't gotten as far as sourcing a log.

I'd prefer to carve a figurehead.

At first it sounds like a great idea, but it may be more trouble than it's worth.
It would take a specific lifestyle to make it worthwhile.

You could do a plane crash, truck/car collision, or any disaster which would produce a lot of steam/smoke. maybe a Divorce Court. :eyebrow:

Gravdigr 07-15-2017 11:24 PM

The top two are a table?

Pretty cool. I wonder how dey do dat?

xoxoxoBruce 07-16-2017 07:49 AM

Probably upside down. A couple dowels that line up with the stacks then create the smoke/steam around them, but that's just a guess.

You could rip out the center and stick a TV in there.

Another one of those tables that look so cool but are of no use to you unless you can afford that 20 foot TV I posted somewhere.

BigV 07-30-2017 11:13 AM

Yep...

Clever, but not my cuppa tea.

glatt 07-31-2017 07:31 AM

I don't get it. Sure, crates joined together to make a coffee table. But what's with the rocks and milk bottle?

BigV 07-31-2017 11:12 AM

It fills the square hole in the center.

I've assisted building one of these.

Gravdigr 07-31-2017 12:55 PM

The rocks are cool, don't care for the bottle though. Maybe a nice bowl, or something in which to put those remotes.

Can you imagine the cost of this tub? Not just buying or having it built, but a full time maid to maintain it. :eek:

Pico and ME 08-04-2017 10:46 AM

Its beautiful, I would definitely get it if I were rich.

xoxoxoBruce 08-04-2017 11:20 AM

Bathe in Camel milk with a couple young eunuchs wearing turbans waving Ostrich plume fans? :D

Pico and ME 08-04-2017 12:07 PM

:p:...of course, (but they dont have to be eunuchs)

xoxoxoBruce 08-04-2017 10:39 PM

:lol: You vixen you.

BigV 08-06-2017 01:04 AM

It *is* gorgeous.

But I doubt it's any more difficult to maintain than any other fiberglass tub. I'm sure it's fiberglass over wood. It looks like a strip built boat hull, albeit, an awkward boat shape. I could make one. I wonder how thick the walls are. I built my kayak from 1/4" material, glassed with 8.9 oz satin weave glass and it is BOMBPROOF. Easily strong enough to be a tub of that scale.

The finish is flawless, on the tub, not the boat. That's not my long suit. I'm sure having your bare bottom slidin around in it, you'd figure out pretty quick where the high spots were.

The tub is a thing of beauty.

Did you ever carve a heart and initials into a tree at your favorite romantic spot?
Buy now you can't take others girls to that spot?
Just whip out your jack knife and carve them away.

Never again say, "I wish I had that tool at the shop with me".

glatt 08-08-2017 06:58 AM

Is that a trailer in a car port, or is that roof actually sides of the trailer that fold open to be a shelter?

xoxoxoBruce 08-08-2017 10:12 AM

The trailer is sitting outside.

They look cool, might ever be comfy for the limber, but getting out of them looks hard with bad knees. :eyebrow:

classicman 08-10-2017 09:46 AM

I dunno, with only three legs, they may tip forward "helping" you get up/out.

Happy Monkey 08-10-2017 10:12 AM

In that configuration, they'll tip diagonally backward.

I picture someone sitting in that chair listening to a Maxell tape.

Love that ad.

I used Maxell 60 minute tapes almost exclusively.

glatt 08-10-2017 02:24 PM

60 minutes were better quality because of their thickness, but 90s could fit a whole album on each side.

Gravdigr 08-10-2017 03:54 PM

Yeah, but car stereos of the time ate them (the 90 min tapes) like Skittles.

How can it be thread drift that's obviously a DIY project. :haha:

Another of the partially submerged critter tables...

Pico and ME 08-11-2017 11:04 PM

Well, it was a mini thread drift...the three posts before grav's skeletal hand.

Oh, you mean the ancillary information interlude. We like everyone to keep abreast, or give a breast, to our cumulative edumacation. :blush:

Clodfobble 08-12-2017 08:39 AM

I really like the submerged animal ones.

I loved it, plus it was a blast to the past. I used Maxwell tapes mostly. And I did put a lot of my brothers albums on the 90 minute ones. They actually survived for a long while.

xoxoxoBruce 08-12-2017 11:34 AM

Yes, I had a ton of tapes, a lot of used ones I got in trade for a reel to reel also.
Car use, hot weather, extreme abuse, the Maxells stood up to abuse better than anything. :thumb:

fargon 08-12-2017 11:45 AM

I always used Maxell 90 minute tapes. They always worked.

Driftwood horse I suspect had some shaping of parts before finishing, but I love the look.

BigV 08-13-2017 11:47 AM

Speaking of drift wood, I think this got some help also.

glatt 08-14-2017 07:14 AM

looks at home there. Now put it in the living room of a doublewide and see how it looks.

Happy Monkey 08-14-2017 09:40 AM

Looks like it belongs in Pyke.

If you're handy with metal work make a little bike, if not buy one and put tabs on it. Then set it on top of a bottom sash and wait for the moon, or cheat and put a globe lamp behind it.

Butterfly bench for the garden.
