My BMW inspired end table

[Sean5294]

Here is a table I made today out of spare parts. It a defective BMW Borbet wheel (im not sure what car) mounted on top of an E30 camshaft and sprocket with a rolling base. It turned out really well

Nice

I can't remember where it was but I read an article once about this furniture company that makes everything out of car parts. Just like you, they used a camshaft for the base of the table, they used blocks for tables, etc. Pretty cool idea! Is the glass just resting on top of the wheel?

[Sean5294]

the glass is resting on it for now, i need to get some clear tack to keep it from moving.

LOL...epic and cool. Make me a lounger out of some comfort seats??

That's actually pretty cool. Kind of looks like it may be a little unstable though.

I know that whenever I get out of college something like this will be the first furniture after a bed in my new home:

Hail car parts furniture!

P.S. I just remembered at my last school the department chair had a lamp in his office which consisted of a crankshaft and a lightbulb...

That is slick but the base needs work.

Badass, I have a worn M30 cam laying around. Thanks

I would cut the wheel so it was just the spokes and rim, not only would it be lighter, but I think it would look a lot better.

i have always wanted to make a table out of a wheel. Looks good

[Rennsport]

i like it other than the base. do you really need it to roll around? find something other than a office chair base. perhaps another wheel at the bottom?

[Sean5294]

yeah the base definitely needs work, i do have one of my old bottle caps laying around, i may give that a try. it's pretty sturdy though :)

[Vethen]
