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. Sweat

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!

Good idea using the laminate flooring too, I just thought it looked like old re used timber.

Cheers Mick
