Here’s another view of the V10 Viper engine fire table I built a few years back for a customer. This was a quick test inside the shop for staging purposes, yes venting was in place and this is obviously an outside toy for consistent use lol. This view better shows the car key to start up the pit and the gas pedal to control the flame as well as the racing seat chairs I built along with the console to hide the propane bottle. The custom cut glass later came in to go along the outside edges. For more info or interested in having a custom built piece, feel free to dm me or visit my website. Thanks

Just finished this Aston Martin v12 crankshaft table in an eye catching chrome colored powdercoat. It’s not the craziest build I’ve done like some in the past but this one is just clean, simple and cool. Troy happen to have some awesome vintage chairs from the 50s that we paired with it and set up in the store front. If you’re in the area come by and see it in person or dm me for more details.

I definitely enjoy seeing where my tables end up. Cool to see the ‘56 Mercury table in an Airbnb where it’ll welcome many guest. Kingston’s, Tennessee. May have to book a weekend to go see it again.

Definitely been on a little bit of a lamp building kick lately lol. This speedometer came out of a late 50s Chevy truck and was a little too far gone to be rebuilt so it was repurposed. I cleaned up the cracked plastic and gauges best I could and wired in some led lights. I made a v-shaped I-beam with cutouts all welded to a harmonic balancer as the base. I felt this design, style and color looked appropriate for the gauges. Left the natural patina and bear metal and then hit it with a clearcoat. Small simple build but pretty cool piece I think. For more info or pricing on this build or others feel free to dm me. Thanks

Sharing the direct video of the skull spear lamp so you don’t have to go to insta

A concept that has been in my sketch book for a while and has finally come to life. Part Madmax and part Terminator. Apocalyptic, barbaric and grimy industrial. It has lived in my dreams/nightmares and is now alive…alive-ish lol. Love it and a little afraid of it but nonetheless I’m pleased with how it came out. The metal work was a process and the wiring was definitely a challenge. I loved seeing this one come together. The other idea of this piece was to convey motion. The spear isn’t just sharp but supposed to look hot. Piercing and melting the skull as it burst forth leaving a imploding fiery glow.

The amount of time it took to create was a bit extensive so I will probably only make a handful more that will be a limited series. Let me know what you think and what else you’d like to see? Different weapon? More auto parts? Less? Dm for price and for more custom builds.

Months ago I came across this 1950s masonry saw setup. It was beautifully patina’d, which I’m a sucker for and I couldn’t pass it up. It sat up fairly high so I thought it’d make an awesome kitchen island. The guy I bought it from said he used it to rebuild an entire municipal building in Conroe Tx back in the 80s. Years of use and brick deposits gave it such an amazing look. The foot pedal underneath controlled the motion of the saw and I really wanted to incorporate that into its repurposed design. It took way more work and designing than I anticipated but think it was worth it. Now the foot pedal when pressed raises the butcher block top that’s assisted by hydraulic shocks. You now have storage underneath the table top and a way to clear off cuttings I nto the trash. Locking casters were put on to allow it to be solid but also mobile when needed. Troy at 209th Designs and Jim helped me pair it with an amazing custom made butcher block top that’s been epoxy coated. Like all my heavy pieces I offer shipping, but if you’re local come see it in person at the shop. For more info and pricing dm me.

Here are some of the other cool pieces that have just come out of this ‘56 Mercury motor. Camshaft lamp and crankshaft end table in a worn brushed silver with touches of brushed gold and bare metal. I wanted a similar color scheme as the engine coffee table but wanted the internals to have a subtle but more worn look. Then I added gold and silver to tie into the coffee table. The lamp shade is completely gold on the inside and gives off a great warm ambient light and contrasts nicely with the silver outside. Both pieces turned out better than I hoped and are different yet still match the coffee table.

All pieces available individually or as a set. For more info send a dm or visit the website. If you’re local come see the pieces in the showroom

The 1950s was an era of beautiful, stylish luxury cars focused on comfort, eye catching looks backed with stout V8 American power. This 1956 Mercury Monterey Coupe engine block coffee table embodies just that. The 312 Y block has been repurposed and given new life as this piece. Industrial and rugged yet also streamlined and simply sophisticated. The gold and silver paint scheme was aim to resemble the colors found in Mercury’s clean but flashy jewelry-esque styled emblem on the car. Touches of raw clear-coated metal on the machined surfaces and pistons add a subtle but nice contrast to the gold paint.

So much work has gone into this table from buying the car, pulling the motor, cleaning, fabricating to now this, a cool table that proudly stands as a reminder of its past glory days in an era of quality luxurious American muscle cars.

For more information and price on this piece send a dm or check out the website store. If you’re local come see it in person at The showroom here in town.

Bmw V8 crankshaft end table in a worn blackened-bronze and bronze color scheme, finished with a satin clear. I haven’t really had a customer request this style until now and I really like how it all turned out, will definitely have to do some more pieces like this in the future. Now only thing left to do is just ship this thing out to its new home in New Mexico.

For more info on custom builds or current pieces offered, send a dm or checkout the website in bio.

1920s Model T gas tank turned into a back lit end table and shelving. Doubles as a liquor cabinet too lol.

A Few weeks ago I had a chance to go parts picking with a couple of friends. There was a local here in tomball who had a collection of various old car parts and he let us come grab what we wanted. Among the many parts was this Model T gas tank. It took a little time looking at it and turning it in different positions but I saw it’s potential as an end table, with shelving and lighting. The middle shelf was fabricated to match the upper and lower original metal bands, then patina’d to match the tank. I wired up some vintage style lights for a warm glow, then clear coated the whole thing to seal the beautiful original patina. Fun build and happy with how it turned out. Dm for more information and pricing on this piece or visit the website shop or see it in person at my friends local store .
