Looks interesting:thumbs:

You'd have a field day at my place Brody. I have enough "recycling" stuff to last you several lifetimes:whistling:

16 years of building work plus what I had before that. i daren't open any of the sheds in front of the missus. Heaven knows how I'm going to get away with it much longer as she retires next week.:eeeeek:

Here is the first one done. Like I said, nowt special but rhe missus wanted somewhere to keep all her baking stuff in one place. All pallet wood construction and the galv tray was added for an industrial look, but also to hand spring hooks I saved ages ago for the untecils. Put some bloody big fixings in the wall for this one too....:funny:

Right... next :funny::funny:

The rustic kitchen, you are missing a trick here Brody, people pay fortunes for rustic. Those hooks are brilliant, can you remember where you got them from?

The hooks were from a ceiling mounted pan holder from homebase a while back now. It had bits missing but the hooks took my fancy:devil::thumbs:

Awwww stop it you:devil: :funny: im confident in what I make and i like what I make, just need someone or something to give me a kick up the a@#e and go that final step. Im no salesman and my own biggest critic. Although I do want to do something like this more lately than ever before.....
I'm a big believer in fate, and if it's meant to happen it will:pray:

How can anyone possibly compliment you for filling your kitchen up with a pile of other peoples junk????
Has the world gone crackers?
Do you really think people could actually like this sort of thing?
And you have the Gaul to insult us delicate members of this wonderful forum by taking pictures.
Not only that but seriously thinking about doing it professionally in the strange belief that people will pay for this scrap.

Well Brody I think you are very talented with your crazy ideas. The world has gone crackers and there is an opening in the market for your talents.
People would pay good dosh to have a Brody item in their house and more.
Now get off that lazy fat arse and get out and sell yourself init?
And don't hang about in doing it, my life span is diminishing and I wanna say I know that artist, I encouraged him to start his venture init?

I really like the ideas and the way you do things mate and also admire the recycling, I think it should be Mandory to use pallets instead of the idiots burning em!:down:
