I found some metal legs from an old wringer washing machine and had them welded to an old grate I picked up at a salvage place.  I painted it black and had a piece of glass cut to fit.  It made the perfect coffee table for my daugher's home.

I was going to sell it at the local antique fair but when my daughter fell in love with it I gave it to her for Christmas. I'm glad I didn't sell it after all as it is one my favorite creations thus far. Posted: 6:50 pm on September 25th
