LOL! That's AWESOME Mike!

 

That is so cool, man that is a clean looking setup. How are you keeping it from rusting?

 

the crank is painted black around the balences too.. but the whole thing got sprayed in clear

from a few years ago

 

Cool idea.
Vented brake rotor for a base?

 

you got it, not sure what the rotor is from, it was the cheapest one the local autoparts store had in stock.. im sure the lack of stopping power wont bother the table

 

This is cool.

 

Thats cool, but is it furniture or art?

 

Too many old cranks lying around?

Sounds like a normal Legion or VFW picnic? :-D

 

just wait to see what kind of art happens with my crank and old rods and other assorted pieces
pop's best friends is a blacksmith, he's gonna make a saab art piece
was gonna place it up for "auction" on here for him once he finishes it

 

When I see things like that, for a short moment, I wish I was single.

That really looks good, nice job!

 

I've been collecting pistons and rods for something similar...I like how yours turned out!

 

awesome - you need to make a engine block coffee table as seen on top gear. I want to build one of those some day.

 

Same thoughts, decided to wait until I had a nice aluminum block...these iron Saab blocks are too heavy...best left for scrap.

 

a striped out b204+ block doesnt weigh more than 60lbs.

once the crank, pistons, rods, and all the mounting harware is gone, they ge light

in my arms i swear a saab crank, weights about the same as a gutted saab block

 

I definitely need one of those Aero swivel chairs for my apartment! I would never want to sit in anything else!

 

Great news, There is now a lamp to go ontop the table!
