Not impressed

[andypocock]

I've got hold of a couple of 47KG Propane bottles that are not quite empty so I need to use the gas up before I can convert them to burners.

The Mrs has been complaining that the hall is a bit chilly so I thought I could kill two birds with one stone as I had an old heater kicking about

Would you believe that she wasn't all that impressed? I told her that it was neo-industrial with an arts and crafts influence.

A lot of women would be grateful for something warm in their front passage.

should have painted it first before showing it off. (then you might have gotten away with it.)

look fine to me, good little stand for the heater.

no, no, no. You need to tell her to make it look nice you need a roll bender to make nice curved legs and a lathe to make decorative spindles.

I'll get my coat

Looks nice, rubber feet to protect floor?

how about that non-slip mats glued to the bottom of it? the stuff i am taking about looks like this. you can get at the dollar store (a place that sell cheap crap but somethings are worth going there to get.)

Wrap tin cal round the metal work!

You should exhibit that heater in the Tate Modern. Some arty donkey-brain had curved sheets of ¼" thick rusty steel exhibited there and the critics thought they were terrific.

Your creation is the perfect 'welding' of post-industrial rationalisation of the design form, showing a care for sustainability and a quest for unity with mother earth. There, that should be worth £250K of any collectors money.

Now, about warming up front passages.......

It and very dangerous to have a gas cylinder in the house there could be an explosion even money on the wife blowing first
