This project was for our own home. A good friend and mentor gave me some wood from his family barn that was recently torn down in Moran, Kansas. I also got some scrap metal and wanted to build something that combined old and new (plus I really needed a new TV Console).
We welded up the scrap metal into a frame. This was my initial foray into welding and I have to say I don’t know how I lived so long without knowing how to weld.
The boards were de-nailed and glued up to form the various shelves. Then rough assembled before taking the frame to be sand-blasted and powder coated.
It’s amazing how a good sand-blasting and powder coating can really make a piece shine. The finished product proudly holds my various electronics and celebrates the fusion of old and new.
