Blanco Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I am thinking the V8 coffee table is hard to beat, but a set of LT77 bar stools now there's a thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I got away with this: It's still wandering around the sitting room. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just seen similar on eBay using a crank flywheel pulley etc looked quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snailracer Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's brilliant. Makes me think of the luggage from the early terry pratchett books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's brilliant. Makes me think of the luggage from the early terry pratchett books! That's what gave me the idea!

Snagger Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That's brilliant. Makes me think of the luggage from the early terry pratchett books! Love it! I fancied making a circular table using compressor or turbine disc from an old jet engine, but my wife put her foot down. I think it'd look very smart after walnut blasting with a clear glass top...
