this build envolved one kettle reclaimed from fire pit

two bits of pine from old shelves,

a few nails,a spoon,

dog bones,

odd screws etc from drawers and cupboards,

3 cut down slinky strings from a marlin,

2 hinges from same fire pit. and three machine heads (various) from old guitars.

the paint is near ten years old according to the pot witch i found in a skip,

all built with a rubber mallet and a sharp screwdriver. great fun ;)

I've been meaning to use that headlamp for some time, this just gave me an excuse to finally do it!

Nice work, and way in the spirit of the recycled theme. Kind-a pretty too if I do say so.

Wow, that's really creative MR.  Never would've thought to use a motocycle headlamp!
