First idea - - repurposed wooden barrel.
This was a retirement gift from her fav (wonderful at renovations !!!) carpenter, to my sil.
Second Idea - Door Stop
How can a broken sauce/gravy boat be used again?
If you are pouring cement for another project, you could cement a ROCK into and onto the pieces of the gravy boat.
A gift to my sil from a retired hairdresser turned artist.
Handy and unusual door stop.
Third idea - Wooden Stool
I took enough photos in case someone would like to make a similar stool. Legs and middle support are attached with glue, screws (the screws are covered with glued in wooden pegs cut off at the flat surface). This stool was made from a piece of lumber scavenged from a lake and built by a family friend (he built two for my sil).
Only finish is wax. Heavy, sturdy, handy.
I love visiting and discovered new treasures.

I gotta say, that rock door stop is certainly unique. Given the damage to the dish, I cannot imagine how it was made without getting cement everywhere. The barrel table is just fascinating. Every time I look at it, I see a new bit of the barrel that was used to make it. Cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas!!! I like the door stop idea! I like ALL the ideas but the door stop is one I think I can do! Louis Dean dearly loves mixing cement and the next time he does, I have plans......
ReplyDeleteHi Joy,

Happy Blue Monday!

Talk about awesome re-habbing of old stuff, great ideas. Little stool can be used for feet, planter, anything to put on it.The gravy boat door stop looks quite inventive and love the barrel table. Never get tired of seeing what people make things with out of other things. Happy weekend
