    My husband and I have a lot of scrap metal…
    Some of it we are giving away, but we didn’t know what to do with the rest.
    We both really like the idea of recycling old items and turning them into something else.
    This was very helpful in giving us ideas as to what we could do.
    I really like pickup truck that was turned into a bed.
    That is very clever and something that my son would love for his bedroom.

  2. Amazing ideas, I have raw red oak table wood and have not put any oil to protect it. I noticed the leg is getting cracked and dried. Can Olive Oil and White Vinegar apply to this table?

    I love the Singer sewing machine base being used as a table base instead. It has a witty Victorian feel that usually is very expensive to obtain. These ideas for scrap metal are quite ingenious. As you said, some parts are worth their weight in gold for salvage purposes, but others that seem worthless can become their own little treasures with a bit of work.

    These ideas are amazing! I really like the saw made coat hanger, and the oil drum turned bench. My grandpa has a couple of oil drums just hanging around his home. I think we could take one or two and do something like that!
