Ian C Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 A friend of mine is a bit handy with the welder and likes making furniture out of scrap metal.

JamesG Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Very nice. And in the same spirit, I'm going to use my speaker stands as camshafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was thinking of having my blown engine stripped and a glass top put on it as a coffee table in the summer house, those speaker stands look cool, not sure how many girls would get it though as I just showed my GF and see just gave me that look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Nice stand, I bet you will not be too happy if (when) it gets knocked over and hits your foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Those speaker stands are cool as! I posted up that V8 coffee table a couple of years ago. I didn't know it was a mate of yours Ian! I have enough parts to make one of my own in the garage but I never get around to putting them all together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Great idea on the speaker stands, and I love the coffee table. I think I may have to get one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Good stuff. I'm always hoarding old bits of car that I've swapped out saying that I'll do something like that but somehow I never get round to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Oooo I love them, and the coffee table. Does he have a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 They are cool, but Ian, what's the point of even having speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I saw a wine rack that was made out of head gaskets somewhere, that was really cool as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Note the wine bottles in the cylinders http://www.rustynails.co.uk/scrapingscrap/ click on the "Scrapiture" link or peruse his collection of rusty wrecks. Chris also has a Mercedes V8 saloon that's a bit of a sleeper - until he is sat in a two lane queue of traffic at rush hour and unleashes the hydraulics That thing can bounce it's front wheels a foot off the floor, I forgot I could be so embarassed as we rocketed down Queens' Road with the front left wheel cocked off the floor. Bonkers. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 That coffee table is exceptionally cool. I can't see any pricing information on the site though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 That table is class. The speaker stands are cool too, but would look far better with a big fat candle on 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
