Saturday Photohunt - Metal


Our church runs a youth and community project based in Red Cafe in Mumbles. The ethos of the cafe is to be as environmentally friendly as reasonably possible. Much of the furniture is made from recycled materials. Recognise the base of this table?

Washing machine drums. Metal, of course!

We used to use washing machine tubs for large plants. Functional and interesting and free draining. Have a great weekend. I love the name Mumbles. I went for a holiday to Muchals, just south of Aberdeen once.

Excellent use of washing machine drums. I've got a kanckered machine awaiting collection by the council. One word and the drum is yours! Happy weekend Liz

Brilliant! I'd never have realised what they were.

Hello Liz:
What a wonderful idea. I sort of thought that I recognised the drums but then my mind went along the cheese grater theme....only in a Giant's Castle, bear in mind!

You'll have to excuse me...I've been cooking trillions of meatballs and grating loads of Parmesan Cheese for Husband's Birthday celebration today....

Everbody likes them except me!

Super! I love the creative use of the materials.

I had no idea what to do with this week's theme, so I'm afraid I did stretch it a bit:

What a clever concept to use a washing machine drum like this! Fantastic shot!

Your church not only has good taste and good ethics, it has good sense: the metal pedestal will surely survive the kick marks that always go on below the surface :-)

But that's very creative. :)

That's a really great idea! I just had my washing machine repaired at great expense... I'm very glad I didn't have to convert it into a table just as yet!!! :)
Happy weekend Liz!

If I'd known they were making a table, I could have donated our old washing machine for the cause...
