i acquired this workbench and used it for another project, but was left with the best part of it, as it's seen here. this 30" X17"X2" ONE piece of wood was the heart of the bench, with an old, brass bench dog in the middle and a spot carved out for the old wood vise. i placed it atop an orang-painted scrap steel base and shellaced it. ready to go as a small coffee table or side table. stands 17" tall. this will ship greyhound express, which means you will need to pick it up at your nearest greyhound bus station. make sure that is an option before purchasing. other local pickup and delivery options are available. send me a message to discuss. thanks for looking! -tim
A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.
i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.
from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.
my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.
i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).
listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!
be good,
tim
oh yeah, at youtube.com/timsway you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

For Andrew's DeskTim made me a desk that fit into my bay window space exactly how I envisioned. He was quick, communicative, and precise. He is a top quality craftsman who can be relied on.

For table topI had an idea about a table top and a vision about how wanted it to look. The best thing I did was to post on this site. Tim responded, we met and a week later my vision was a reality. Tim listened, offered suggestions and considered every small detail which resulted in a finished product that far exceeded my expectations. I now have a piece of furniture I will keep forever that is both functional and awesome looking. A true conversation piece…
