First time posting on here but I have read a lot and got a lot of good info on here. Company where I work throws cable spools and crates in the trash. Thought I would use some of this to build some chairs around my fire pit. One mans trash is another mans treasure. I have made several and some of these are kid sized and I made a taller on for me with bad knees.
Heres one I made this morning. Call it the Low Rider. Had a can of redwood stain and thought I would use it. One day I am going to buy me a table saw and cordless drill. Would make things easier. I could also use some help on turning the picture around. This is annoying. Bad enough I am not a painter or carpenter but at least I should be able to post a picture correct.
Not selling any. Gave a couple to neighbors. Just keeping busy in between fishing trips. Thanks for the comments. If you have a better idea I would give it a try.
Very nice!I see nothing red-neckish about them.Well spent time.Maybe you could get someone with a cutting torch to cut you out a Texas star,weld on a handle to make a branding iron and put a star on one.My wife loves stars.
I have thought about branding some of them. I have bent some flat iron strips that fit over the sides and attached cup holders. Also use two of these and make a small table for food and drinks to go on either side. Took another spool and cut it down the middle to make ******* end tables. Enough of this carpentry stuff. This old man has got to get back to fishing. It has been fun playing carpenter. Maybe get back to it when it gets too cold and rainy.
Spools came from a company in Conroe. Free. Also one of the guys that work there was selling them near the flea markets on hyw 105 east near Security for $10 and $20 each.
Dang Matt - You are one talented guy!! Wish you'd consider selling these, or do some bargaining for a Year's Supply of German Chocolate Cakes??!! Are you going to make the Fish Fry this year - Miss seeing you there...
Wanting to make own Polywood furniture. Anybody have some designs ?
