I got to fooling around out here and made this key-holder-plaque for the guy that did some fabricating on my 34 Ford.

Very cool!

So cool. I need a key holder.

I wish I was that creative.

Thanks. I keep junk. The oak is from 1936, a fireplace mantel piece that was almost in the fire pit. My friend bought an old farmhouse that it was in. He tore it out when he remodeled. It was the next piece of wood he was going to burn. I rescued the mantel. The "Ford" oval came with a 76 Ford 4x4 van that I bought in the early eighties. The spokes are from an early 60s Harley pan-head, the first wheel hub that I took spokes out of and laced in new ones. The stain is from 82, when I redid the living room in my old house.
That nail hole is from a piece of trim that was on the mantel. I left it there for "character".

I see you're into recycling Tony, good for you. I hang unto junk too, just don't have the talent to do anything creative with it.

No talent required for the junk I make. Just throw some old junk together.
