biggest reincarnation yet...

do you remember the "table in progress"...after months of not knowing what to do with it i finally figured it out. i consider this my biggest project cause it involves 3 different objects (all "trash"), welding skills and a lot of patience. ( it took me a while to plan and build a connection between the metalframe, the swivel and the chairs)


i found two chairs in a school-dumbster...they look good but the metal underneath the chair was completly ripped.

the same day i saw this broken stadionbench sitting on the sidewalk...it must have been destiny :)

all it took was a metal constuction to hold the table and LOTS of sanding, panting and polishing


and thats what it looks like now.


The chairs are turnable, so you can face the table, have it to you side or spin around like a hurricane if you´re into that (I am).

Thank you for the music...

I needed a new lamp for my recordcollection, so i came up with this flightcase-design.

The Plexiglass came with a protectionfoil so i cut the letters right out of that and then spraypainted it black...i would use special spraypaint for plastics next time cause it was a pain to get the foil off without ripping the paint. 

it´s a pretty basic project but i think it does the job.

AEROBIC

i got those beautiful letters from an old bakery they were tearing down (they wanted to throw them in the trash !!! )
i didn´t know what to do with it for the longest time but then i figured that you could write the word "aerobic"
so here it is - hope it inspires the next party...



i wanted to hang the sign and since all my walls are filled with stuff i needed to build a new one. i came across a pile of scrap wood and stapled them together...a lot of work but it was for free and i really like the look.

DIO




this is my micro caravan. 

it´s super small but still has enough room for 2 people to sleep in or hang out. you can transform the sitting bench into a double bed, it has a reading light and a radio (i wrote about those a couple weeks ago).
it only weighs 320 kg so you can drive it without a special liscence (german regulations).

here´s a short overview how i put it together. (sorry for the bad quality)
If you are interested in building your own, feel free to contact me: slycery00@web.de.

Beat Up

I found this little wooden suitcase and bought it for 4 euros. it was full of rusty nails and a little rotten so i had to replace the bottom part. i think it came out quite nice and of course you can hook up your ipod...it´s supposed to go on the wall in my little caravan so you can use the lid as a small table...

Dumbster of the day II

I found two of those super old headlights in a junkyard yesterday...the guy didn´t even know he had them so i got them for free. the lightbulbs still work but i might exchange them with LEDs cause i don´t think they make them anymore and so it will be hard to replace them once they break. i will use them as reading lights in the tiny caravan i´m working on.

TAXI!!!

Dumpster of the day...
i was shocked to find this beauty in the trash...but then again-good for me. after loading the super heavy monster into my car it took me a whole day to take it apart...i wanted to get rid of all the electronics inside that i don´t need to make it lighter. i cleaned it with a high pressure washer to take off all the stickers and "tags" and then i pollished it, rewired the lights and put it back together. the phone is still inside so if i had a connection in my workshop i could use it. but i´m thinkig abut connecting the phonehandle with a bluetooth headset that i have...
(also i´m trying to write in english now)
