Keith's Reclaimed Bowling Lane Coffee Table

Working on an #upcycled hideaway bar cabinet. It's a #vintage military filing cabinet turned on its side with custom feet, a #midcentury inspired slatted top, a #reclaimed booze rack, and a whole new internal bearing system. It's been a fun build so far. I should finish it by tomorrow. #make #maker #makersgonnamake #imake #iliketomakestuff #salvage #reclaim #reclaimedwood #upcycle #upcycledfurniture #diy #industrial #industrialfurniture #furnituremaker #beaconny #handmade #hudsonvalley #hvmac

While I've still not had a chance to start mine, I did get a chance to sit down and talk with Dan last July.

Here, I present our conversation. We talk about woodworking, shop time and making the sculpted rocker.
