The tailgate coffee table project

[TheTopher]

You certainly are! By the way, I snapped this pic of you at a party the other day.

Print it. Frame it. Set it on the tailgate coffee table.

It'll be the next best thing to always havin' a drinkin buddy.

You just need to get an irishman to move in with you

 

[TheTopher]

I'm part Irish already. When I get together with other irishmen I always seem to wake up to empty liquor bottles and lots of broken stuff and mad people. I don't know how it happens.

 

[CHKNFKR]

Im the happy kind of irish. But i carefully maintain a low blood level in my alcohol system

I was wondering if anybody would catch that.

Oh yeah, I caught it, and there is no way I would even consider asking "why?"

J/K, I use them for oil changes and other dirty jobs.

I like the table project so far, with the LED lit glass covered integral display case being the highlight of it for me. That what takes it from so-so to awesome in my opinion... which is worth very little. Looks good though!

I do pesticide application for a living. I go through about 30 gloves on a slow day.

Thanks for the comments, mate! I'm glad people like this. It makes interrupting my projects for pics worth the hassle!

this is similar to what im doing. my parents are building a new house, and when we move in I can do the whole basement with an automotive theme. first thing i thought of was a bench seat from a ranger for playing xbox or somethin, and i already have the bench with a new ford seat cover
now im gonna design a bar, first thing that came to mind was using a front clip off a truck (1st gen ranger in my case) and having bar stools in front of the grill, and the bar tender would sit behind it all, with a shelf down under the hood, like this

either that,or push the back of the front clip up against the wall, and have the hood left open with the hood prong and you would reach down under the hood to open up a cooler or somethin for the beer,, and i deffinetly want to do the table like was posted in this thread earlier, just not sure if ill be using a 2.9 or 302

 

[CHKNFKR]

if only i still had that pair of 302s laying around

 

[TheTopher]

So could the three people that are actually watching this thread cross your fingers the storm tonight is really bad.

If they cancel work I'll have time to work on this project again
