My dad had an old Brunswick cast iron table base that had been sitting in our shop collecting dust for years. I decided that it deserved a little better. I contacted a guy who salvages wood for a living and came across some wormy chestnut that had come from a dismantled barn. The wood was a perfect match for the table base and turned out great.

Brunswick Anniversary Install
Finally installed the Anniversary that I had been restoring for a while. Ended up in its new home on Long Island NY. Couldn't have been happier with the table and the new owners. Thanks guys!

Firewood Rack
Needed a place to store some firewood so I came up with this. Welded some square tube together and bolted some thick rough cut oak to it. Worked out pretty well.

Scrap Steel Desk Lamp
I had some scrap round bar left over from the cue rack and decided to use the compact bender and see what I could come up with. Its made from two pieces welded where the legs meet the vertical, bent a small piece of steel into a loop and welded it to the end for the cord to go through. Wired up an Edison bulb to some cloth cord. Next time I will move the legs down a little, it seems a little top heavy.

Wet Sanding
If you want a professional finish its imperative that you wet sand the orange peel out of the sanding sealer. Makes the finish like a mirror. Top tip.

Brunswick Centennial Install
Installed the Centennial this weekend in Delaware. The most sought after table on the planet right now and its no wonder. Designed by Donald Deskey for Brunswick. Same guy who designed the interior of Radio City Music Hall. Killer.
Walnut MacBook Stand
Had some scrap walnut and decided to make a stand for the laptop. Pretty simple but I like the blend of materials.

For Sale
Well I finally broke down and listed my GSXR for sale. This was the very first bike that I owned and I just don't ride it anymore. Off to a new home it goes.
Grilling
Some time ago I hit a deer with the truck and smashed the front end up pretty good. I fixed everything but never got around to the grill. Finally I made the metal pieces that fit inside the plastic grill section.
Welded some threaded rod to the back to give me something to bolt to.
Painted it to match the truck and put a used bowtie on it.
