Totally agree Randy!

Hoping to have some pics to post in this thread soon after we get back home, found some cool lights to repurpose at the dumpshop up here in Darwin...

I picked this up today at a Flea Market. It'll be a nice piece for the house.

Cool. I like the picture of the policeman.

Probably have some ratty furniture around here. Have a few signs as well.

That's a lot of signs and I'm guessing that's not all.

Those would make some awesome seats for a fat trike or quad bike.

Just picked this up at a little shop. It's a small, fiberglass serving tray. I thought it would work as part of a dining table center piece....

Years ago I blasted and painted this old patio chair. The wife hounds me now to re-paint it but it's just now looking good.

Maybe a compromise? Blast it to bare metal, pinstripe, and clear-coat it. I think it looks great as it is but women sometimes fail to see beauty in the old and rusty stuff.

Saw this on Facebook, I'm going to keep an eye out for wine crates now.

My ratty bicycle repair station. Ugly yellow paint chiping off with blue underneath.

I redid a lamp from 1929 this week that I picked up in an antique store for $40. Turned out really cool, works too.

[QUTE="Rat Rod, post: 678514, member: 2"]I think you could give those two ladies on Texas Storage Wars a run for their money Randy.

The cross I made for my wife that hangs outside our back door

I made this cross for our church's gift exchange

Here's my garage chair. It is the result of hanging on to one broken chair and three broken tricycles too long. I couldn't stand to throw them all away, so I just combined the best of everything and only threw the scraps away....

I'm going to ask the obvious......Does it ride around the shop?

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

Of course.

Well, video must be provided then!
