Toboggan Bench

Leave a comment

I found this toboggan in rough shape at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore several years ago.  I had consequently stored it away both in and out of doors, taking up storage space between two moves and filed away on the mental heap of good intentions.

I found it again a couple nights ago, which was good timing, because it seems fall in Prescott got short shrift (despite some long-lasting and glorious foliage for once) and we are off to the races for winter.  Cold temps and snows are upon us.

I hope whoever purchases this bench (or long coffee table, if you prefer) will be able to enjoy this winter artifact all year round.  Stout black iron pipe legs make the sitting height very comfortable.

To get the necessary rigidity for the bench, a piece of reclaimed scaffolding plank was added to the underside of the sled.  This piece is for sale now at Revised, in downtown Prescott.

Outdoor Elements

Steel Collage Gate + Lighted Handrail

Leave a comment

I designed and built these outdoor metal elements for a home in the tall pines of Prescott, Arizona.  The six-foot high fence and gate are an assemblage of various steel artifacts I salvaged from a variety of sources.

The homeowner needed a rail along the irregular concrete steps leading up to the entry from the driveway.  The handrail is a large #8 rebar, which is great for grip with its ridges, and is supported by paired angle posts.

Each post holds an original light fixture made from 22-ga sheet steel with low-voltage landscape bulbs.  The rail posts and lights will rust in time (though shown here in brand-new condition.)

Tin Table

The galvanized table top is itself a found object.  It was a heat shield to protect the floor from a coal-burning stove in an old farmhouse.  This table is for sale now at Revised, the upcycled goods shop I designed in downtown Prescott, Arizona.

Reclaimed wood was used for the table apron.
These spiral legs of unknown origin were salvaged from an old table and reused here.
You can see where the coal stove sat for decades on the heat shield.

Box Shelves

I had the idea to create box shelves as a more open, modern alternative for my client who didn’t want upper cabinets in her very industrial kitchen.  The kitchen walls are tiled from the counter up to the ceiling, so the open backs of the boxes allow this subway tile to be seen.  These irregularly sized boxes are a fusion of square steel tube and reclaimed wood.

Dark wax was used to create a rich tone on the outside surfaces, which contrasts with the freshly-sawn interior surfaces which are illuminated by LED ribbon.  Though labor intensive, these shelves pack a visual punch that’s hard to beat.
