Chuck some concrete in an old paint tin. £25 to you, sir.
Some of the lights are very reasonable!

I literally laughed outloud when I opened that link! That’s ludicrous! I wonder how long it took Christina L Halstrom to design that?!

 

[rockweasel]

Is the bucket included in the price?

Don't pretend you haven't got a man bun, beard and lumberjack shirt living up in the wilds of Scotland... ;-)

nothing like the table i bought off you Mike...center piece of my workshop mate and still gets admirers

 

[Rob85]

Worth nothing, looks like a tool cab someone has chucked together out off factory scrap decades ago because they couldn't afford to buy a tool box

Damn, I've been rumbled

 

[Screwdriver]

I actually like that.

I wouldn't pay £25 for it but might make my own, maybe with a handful of graphite powder to darken both it and the hands of anyone who touches it.

I was thinking the same. In fact, I already made one from a Pringles tube. Lovely spirals...

In the description of one of their other items [of which there are many], they say "retro iconic statement furniture" - it's an old school table https://www.gumtree.com/p/desks/vin...furniture-dining-side-display-desk/1312595716

Fools and their money right enough - it's a bit like the Emperor's new clothes with the trendy set, it appears.

eww. Now that is going too far!

Could always just leave the tube filled with concrete on the pavement and wait for someone to jump on it/kick it

it is a curiously tactile object. Been kicking about the house for years now.

Now that I have the material, maybe I should clad it in leather...

 

[pcwizme]

Id suggest its french, and looks like it would actually fit in alot of the trendy barn conversion places that are now these garden centres with shop type places (It seems a nicely made bit of kit once upon a time)

Steady on, now.

Check out some of the prices on that website. Unbelievable.

Yer,but it has a leather thong mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

'Fess up lads, we're all just jealous we don't think up such ideas [primarily because we never suspect folk will pay those sorts of prices] and cash in.

Of course, just because something is advertised at a certain price, doesn't mean it sells for the money asked.
My car is for sale for £115,000 if anyone's interested.
