these are the door handles that will be used for the doors on the front.

How are you going to finish the steel? I love the hammertone paint on the square table, bet it would great in a silver or "gunmetal" color.

That bed is unreal. How much does that weigh? I'm betting it doesn't start a'rockin' no matter what the activity level might be.

Hi Johnny Welcome to the forum . I love your furniture , what type of wood is it you have used in the tv stand ? It looks lovely and rich colour.
I like the car too, nce colour and it must sound

cheers Mick

i am going to powder coat the frame the same copper/hammered finish as the end table.

the head board of the bed weights 280lbs. the whole thing weighs just shy of 600lbs. the side rails are bolted onto the foot/head boards with 5/8" hardware. that bed is unbreakable, (I have tried).

thank you very much for the kind words. the wood in the tv stand is actually laminate flooring. i took the cheap/easy route on this one.

the car does sound pretty damn good if i do say so myself. here is a video of it doing what it does best!

Nothing to strong ever broke

here is last nights progress on the tv stand. top is ready for powder coat now.





then i decided to make me a curtain rod/hangers.

Hi Johnny , thanks for posting the vid of the Dart , if you dont grin watching that you are either dead or there is something wrong with your power valve ...........sounds delightful
Good idea using the laminate flooring too, I just thought it looked like old re used timber.

Cheers Mick
