Old Trunk Coffee Table Stand

Here is another great example of re-purposing old items to make something new and useful.

I made this stand for a client out of a recycled bed frame and some other recycled metal I had laying around the shop so they could use an old trunk as a coffee table.

Hi, as many of you already know I own and operate a small business here at my home called D.C. Metal Designs ( http://dcmetaldesigns.com/ ) we specialize in hand crafted reproduction iron and brass hardware for a company called Horton Brasses ( http://www.horton-brasses.com/ ) and we also make hand forged metal art, furniture, jewelry and many other custom items from metal. A few years back I had a really nice surprise when I seen some of my hardware being used by Norm Abram on the television show The New Yankee Workshop. Well here is another surprise and a great honor for me to see some of my custom brass trunk hardware being used on a piece of furniture that is featured on the cover of the August 2012 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. http://www.shopwoodworking.com/popular-woodworking-august-2012?lid=pwtnhome061812
