Been working on this little project. 3 legged chair. Great for sitting at the fire and camping. Can be sat on both ways but more comfortable when leaning forward on the back rest. Makes a nice little table for beverages and snacks. Making it for my dad this Christmas. Just need to stain it yet

Looks great! Imo the best part is the big cracks on the back side! I love when guys don’t cut those out! To me it makes the chair 100x better, that tree/chair tells a story now! Very nice! Merry Christmas

Not as cool as Niner's pipe bomb stove... ;) but here it is.

Our 80 foot Elm died [shade tree].

This was an early xmas gift for momma, only got to use it for a month this year...

24x24x1/2 plate, couple pieces of 2x2x1/4 angle, short pieces of 5/8 rod, 2 feet of 2x2x1/8 sq tube and a couple of 8 inch wheels....weighs 100 pounds and she can move it anywhere in the yard.

Last Christmas I made this for a friends garage at his cottage.
Most of it is recycled steel from the scrap bin at work....bought a small off cut for the pockets.
Last pic, the grey 2x4's against the wall slip into the pockets. I went with 8 foot 2x4's cause they fit in the box of my truck...could be longer if you had the space.
It's a fire wood stand, one side has wood that needs to dry a bit, the other side is dry wood.
Didn't get a chance to set it up before I left and didn't make it up this year...I'll get a pic in the spring when we go ATVing.
