Action Jackson Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 So, I have had a hobby on and off for a few years now of making nice looking stuff out of dud engines. My first ever project was a 1.2l Mk1 Clio. I have made lamps, clocks and table centre pieces (including the centre pieces for my wedding). I haven't done the cliche engine block table yet, however I have kept all of the blocks/header units from my projects just in case. A few of my friends have told me in the past I should really get in to making stuff to sell to people... I figure since you're a decent, honest bunch why not test the waters here! Everything is completely degreased and well lacquered. Some of these pieces have been on show in my home for over 2 years and have not made anything dirty. So the question is, would any of you buy this sort of stuff for your homes/as a gift? I actually have a 1JZ that I am stripping at the moment (crank dug itself into the block) so I am excited to see what I can make from that Lamp: Clutch plate clock: Centre pieces: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Steampunk is very much vogue at the moment. I imagine there would be a lot of demand for your stuff on places like eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Jackson Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Steampunk is very much vogue at the moment. I imagine there would be a lot of demand for your stuff on places like eBay. I have never thought of it as steampunk. I guess it is the right colouring and its heavy/metallic. Thanks for the suggestion. You have a very understanding wife! You would think so wouldn't you... but it was her suggestion! She wanted us to get married at a race track... so we got married at Rockingham Speedway on the British GT weekend last year. Completely her idea. That must be to the OP. My wife is a psycho I never said mine wasn't a psycho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
