Is it art.

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Baffled.

3 weeks
3 different customers.

All told me my bench was a work of art.


Can't see it myself. Funny old world.


Shall I stain it up and shove it on Facebook for a ton



Knackered now anyway. If it wasn't supported I'd snap it by leaning on it.

 

[frank horton]

get it sold

 

[Bravheart]

Call their bluff

 

[Migmac]

Yes, a fine piece of art done by the artist known as Gouger.

 

[stuvy]

I’m sure it’s classed as this

If you have to ask if it’s art it instantly becomes art

 

[outofthefire]

It could be hung up as a piece of abstract art and I do see why people have been telling you that. I reckon if you stain it though you'd ruin it, wether you could sell it (and the amount you'd get) as an abstract piece would depend on your artists statement and your concept

All I see when I look at it is having to pay out for another sheet of decent ply and an afternoon with the router and jig making a new bench.

I meant seal rather than stain. Too late to edit when I noticed

It has gotta be worth something? Have you seen the price of plywood of late

Can you not turn it over an save yourself some money?

Both sides are hammered mate. It's done a lot of work over the last couple of years

I tend to use MDF for "jigs" - I find it is "flatter"...

Get it sold

Just a saw bench for my track saws.

The idea is two dogs on the long axis hold the work piece. Two dogs on the short axis hold the rail at 90 degrees.

I've got an MDF jig to route the holes out

Beauty. IE art, Is in the eye of the beholder. You just have to have the confidence, (BS) to put a big price tag on it.

That's the way I'm getting with work quotes these days. Benifits of being busy. I don't need the work. Nice to make a bit of profit for a change.

 

[Barking Mat]

Hang it on a wall.

Take photos.

Title: Modern Abstract Art.

Media: Plywood / MDF, whatever.

Don't pitch too cheap.

You've nothing to lose.

Alternatively come up with an arty name ie, ' square peg in a round hole ', etc, etc, etc.

Sign it, marker pen, whatever.

Art is in the eye of the beholder.

Look at some of Damien Hursts 'works'.

I'm going to flog this on Farcebook Marketplace, once I've cleaned off the yellow grid. I'll stick it in the garden, take photos.

I think it's rank, but then someone paid 500 euros for the cut out lady, materials were 300, so I made 200 for a few hours work.

If I can flog the leftover plate, for ???

Double winner.

There's no accounting for taste.

And, yes, it's clearly 'Art'.

I think it's shi#e.

But they pay cash.

Put a light bulb behind it and that would sell

 

[Fraserb]

Put a light bulb behind it and that would sell

Put a frame round the back of it and a set of led strip lights, be worth £££ after that

Trim 20mm all around and have a nice finished edge and inset LEDs all around the rear with a frame

I wrote the above a while ago and never posted it.
