@Giles I sort of remember his story about a Mrs. Shufflebottom who lived on the Isle of Wight. I was more intrigued by her name than the story, which was good.

@freepickin that is a keeper

@steelworker Always known as Big Nickel.

@steelworker Also look up (Sudbury Igneous Complex). That will explain why the nickel is there.

@Inorganic As a sheet metal tradesman, this is a badass lunchbox! Makes me want to make one for myself.

[Inorganic]

@Danimal506 build it and sales will come! (become the sheet metal tradesman of field of dreams)

i think (keep in mind i have 0 experience here) that if you walk into a sales meeting and slam a fucker like this down on the table only good can come from it

[Danimal506]

@Inorganic I’m not a sales guy. But maybe I could corner the market in handmade boutique lunchboxes? Learn how to engrave and really go to town

Currently on my ass with the flu - so my wife went out to do some shopping by proxy

70s/ 80s western jacket

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE fun find - did you end up grabbing it?

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic yeah I had her grab it for me

Im a sucker for cool buttons/snaps

Value village is a goldmine

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE sick snaps!!!

[GraemeE]

Another warm one to add to the arsenal

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE that’s a classic right there. Did you score it at that same spot?

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic indeed - VV ftw

[GraemeE]

Another one my wife found yesterday while I was out of comission

Not sure the wood type but if was somehow teek root it would be a mega score

Any wood experts care to advise on possible species?

[sabergirl]

It almost doesn’t matter! Gorgeous chair

[GraemeE]

@sabergirl agreed - we love live wood furniture in general

Unfortunately we are in the wrong tax bracket for nakashima...but can still dream and admire from afar

[sabergirl]

So many folks make live-edge wood furniture in that style, now. I’m sure you could find something beautiful in range.

[GraemeE]

We have a couple peices but need to wait until our littles are a little more grown and running into the edge of a table or chair at high speed is no longer a possibility
