Hose reel, heavy frisbee, practice polishing or painting, roll it down a huge hill, melt it down etc

- Fri Jun 19, 2009 1:57 pm #124312 I got an old 16x7" curbed wheel that I'm saving to make a hose reel. I saved an old worn out rear wheel hub/bearing as well, so it's gonna spin 8)
Now I just need the garage to build it in - wife isn't down for putting it on the outside of our house :?

I have a bad block that I want to make a coffee table out of one day. well maybe an end table, d16 blocks are pretty small.

I think I'm going to flip it upside down and put the rods/pistons upside down on the crank & leave off the girdle. Then tack them in place so the glass will sit on the surface of the pistons. Or flip the whole idea upside down and make the pistons the feet if it's sturdy enough. wire up a few LED's inside or a small neon and everyone will be jealousy - except my wife, she will think it's stupid lol.

I wanted to do something with the sleeves and have them holding/cooling cans of beer but that got too complicated plus the sleeves would get rusty from moisture/condensation.

I have all kinds of old scrap parts... I just need a garage to put all my parts built furniture in :hehe:
