Old Console TV to a Bar. This is my first instructable, and I apologise, I did not take pictures of the entire process, I did not think to about posting to instructables, but next time I will. My father's bar is an old 1920's wooden ice chest that has been refinished. My older brother has laid claim to that particular inheritance some 20 odd years into the future. I however have wanted my own original awesome cool bar to call my own and have my kids fight over whose inheritance it is. Enter the Brother-in-Law. My Brother-in-Law had this old console TV from the 50's that he had planned to "rebuild" in his apartment for years. His cats use it as a scratching post and it that has been about its life. I wanted to keep it as TV like as possible, that meant keeping the glass and tv knobs etc.
Since this is my first instructable, I will probably have to edit the details more as time goes on. Convert a Wine Barrel into a Cabinet. Edit: Wow my first Instructable was featured on the front page, thank you so much! I'm glad to be able to share our wee project with anyone that's interested. If you liked what you read and saw, please take a second to rate this Instructable. Happy New Years everyone! Malcolm Gill Just before Christmas this year, I happened to be looking around an old junk yard and I noticed an old oak barrel that had been used for aging wine. Before starting anything, I searched on the internet to see if I could find a basic guide to give us a few tips on how we should go about doing this. Over the next few pages, I will outline what equipment and materials we used, what we did, and some of the problems we ran into and how we dealt with them. Make a Hardwood Floor that looks 3D from your OWN Trees. I have cut a lot of logs over the years and I have always been impressed at how beautiful some of the wood looks inside.
I always wondered if there wasn't something I could do with it besides burn it for firewood. But how can you make anything from trees without the large scale professional tools and a mill? I discovered there is a way, but I warn you its not an easy project. A perfect project for this idea is to make a hardwood floor with wood from locally grown trees. There are three common hardwood trees in northeast Montana, they are the Ash, the Siberian Elm and the Russian Olive. Russian Olive wood is probably the most distinctive being almost chocolate colored, it is a very beautiful wood. However virtually no one uses it for anything other than burning. Almost all of the wood floors that you will come across are made of long boards. Cutting up logs and turning them into 2 inch diamonds, yep a crazy idea.
Pixel Trash Can. Ultimate Mancave Coffee Table from Recycled Materials. Here is how you can update your mancave with an awesome coffee table basically for free!!!! I just used old materials that were thrown out and headed for the landfill. Excuse the mess in the back of the garage. I am doing several projects at once. This is my first project to ever build out of wood or stain so this project should be easy for anyone to build. Materials Needed: Pieces of old hardwood flooring. 2- Small wire spools- you can pick these up from a electrical store or a cable company.

And there you have it, an extremely cheap really cool and manly coffee table you can prop your feet up on. If I won the Epilog laser cutter I would start by making some awesome coasters for Mable followed by some cool signs to hang around the man cave.
