Steampunk table

And finally it's done.




More than two and a half weeks of constant work from the sketch to the finished product and it is more than just a steampunk table, it's a statement of power for any room that it is set in.

For this custom order original I had two ideas
 (I will share them both)
The table was made to hold an amplifier a long player and a PlayStation


The first idea was to use the base of a SINGER sewing machine and build the shelves up from there but i would have ended up with a bulky top part and skinny frame.

The second idea was the one that made more sense, a robust table frame with shelves, that way i had more space for some decorations making it a centerpiece for the room it is designed for.











The final product was really close of what i imagined and the customer was happy with the final results.



On my Facebook page you can find more photos and a video on what it can do.

Beer bottle chandelier .

A few years ago i started "collecting" beer bottles. Every time
i went to this liqueur store i would buy a different one keeping the bottles, my plan was to make a beer bottle chandelier, saw pins and tutorials on how to do it but never actually had the time and the patience to cut them.
Since NEWFANGLED SCRAPYARD is my daily job, time and patience is not a problem.
Struggled a bit on how to cut them perfectly without them cracking upwards but i really like the final product.









I used a classic glass cutter*, that and a combination of heating the cuts with a wood burner tool and cooling it down with ice
The possibilities are endless for different kind of designs, all you need is patience and imagination.

Polaroid desk lamp

 The Polaroid Sun 600 was one of the most famous and iconic instant photo cameras, so obviously i had one laying around.
And that was the problem ... it was just laying around gathering dust ( since the film is kind of expensive in my opinion )

The small tripod I had from back in the day when I had a point and shoot camera

I though this little piece would look nice as a desk lamp for a workplace.

Stripped out the inside and replaced the flash module with a G4 12v LED lightbulb and also behind the aperture.
For the on off switch I used the shutter button with a push switch mounted inside.
I used a 12v AC/DC power supply from a plasma globe.
