this is unique. i was experimenting with sheet metal and i made this base, bent and riveted together and given a fun, light-grabbing swirly effect. it has a reclaimed wood top and would look great in an entry way, corner, holding a plant - whatever. the top is 18" square and the whole thing stands 30" tall. contact me for pickup/delivery options to avoid shipping. 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 2 Custom Beer Tap HandlesTim did a great job on my project, 2 custom beer tap handles. He even made and shipped an additional handle when one of the handles ended up being too heavy to use. I would gladly use Tim to make another custom project.

For Pallet Wood Entertainment CenterTim was an awesome maker to work with! He took the idea, ran with it right away, and more than met the needs of my accelerated timeline. He was extremely communicative and kept me up to date at all times throughout the project. Couldn't have had a better experience!

For Reclaimed wood counter height table Length 76 inches, Width 38 inches and Height 36 inchesWe love our Tim Sway table. It's the Reclaimed Barn Beam Dining Table and Tim did an amazing job of creating a table that's beautiful, functional and made our vision come to life. We knew that we wanted a tall island/dining table for our newly renovated New England kitchen. And we wanted reclaimed wood with some history. Tim was very helpful with ideas and direction, both with functional concerns (build/usage) and also creative options (wood/metal). He found some nice local heavy barn wood. The final piece was created with frequent consultation and he was always quick to return emails and send photos during the process. We even visited during its build. Honestly, it's better than we ever imagined. It's a delight to eat at this table, use it for food prep, and just hang around. And it's so strong you could park a truck on it! The table is the centerpiece of our kitchen upgrade. It was a pleasure working with Tim. He's talented, attentive … and is a really nice guy.
