What should I do with these?
Added 2018-09-04 00:55:17 +0000 UTCI still have these steel sheets from laser cutting the wrenches and I haven't decided what to do with them! They are 5x10' that are 1/2" thick and weigh about 500lbs currently. I have 5 of them. Maybe a good welding table? Cut and weld sections into cubes for fun? Let me know what you think!

2018-10-24 21:32:53 +0000 UTCWould they work as traction, like on a walkway/footbridge/etc?
2018-10-24 18:31:06 +0000 UTCIt appears that there enough material here to be able make smaller versions of the wrenches? Is that feasible? Send them back the cnc shop and create some of the same style in miniature?
2018-09-16 03:30:47 +0000 UTCan awning over a patio would create an interesting shadow.
2018-09-15 17:31:07 +0000 UTCfence or the table or window grill or cut in smaller pieces and make lamps or resell on ebay or make a large grill/firepit

2018-09-06 06:54:59 +0000 UTCThey almost look like linoleum knives. Or spoon bowl carving knives. They’re gorgeous. Now I’m having an eccentric moment. Those would make some really sick stair treads. Oh man, I want some.

2018-09-05 23:04:11 +0000 UTCA local sculptor/artist could use them to create a piece "en hommage à" HTR.
2018-09-05 02:53:31 +0000 UTCI was going to say floor, but Kevin beat me to it so I'll suggest something really stupid: the deck of a bridge across the creek.

2018-09-04 23:03:12 +0000 UTCThey would make a great outdoor fire pit

2018-09-04 21:28:47 +0000 UTCWeld then into a timeout box for bad kids. 😁Jk. Know any blacksmiths that could use them?

2018-09-04 20:36:00 +0000 UTCWould be cool!

2018-09-04 15:05:16 +0000 UTCObviously!
Hand Tool Rescue
2018-09-04 15:03:59 +0000 UTCDefinitely use them as a floor and clear epoxy over them!

2018-09-04 04:18:49 +0000 UTCAnother option could be an easy climbing wall or maybe a support for plants. Oh if you plan to use concrete on your new shop, you can embed on the concrete, creating a kind of stencil.
Mauricio Mariano
2018-09-04 03:45:42 +0000 UTCWell you can use as a kind of solar breeze, they are very common in Brasilia. Or you can use as a combogo, another creation of Brasilia. Both are very common in post-modernist architecture, influenced by le courbusier.

2018-09-04 02:47:05 +0000 UTCShop loft railing? Deck railing?
2018-09-04 02:26:44 +0000 UTCdo something architectural, like a rail or a gate perhaps.
2018-09-04 01:53:14 +0000 UTCCut them into single negatives and give them to your Patrons, of course. Or, a heat shield beneath a wood stove. Or, a mold for silicon/rubber novelty wrenches. Or, a massive wrench cookie mold.
2018-09-04 01:42:11 +0000 UTCDepends on how much effort you’re willing to put into it. You gotta be getting tired of the wrench business by now... Post it on eBay “pickup only” Contact interior designers - bars, restaurants, diners would love it for a texture wall... Give ‘em to a local welding program and let them go crazy...

2018-09-04 01:34:22 +0000 UTCHaha, start beating my hands with it.
Hand Tool Rescue
2018-09-04 01:32:43 +0000 UTCI do like the strip idea...
Hand Tool Rescue
2018-09-04 01:32:14 +0000 UTCACTUALLY thats briliant. The heft of a fullsize welding table minus... what? 50% of the weight? Then just put a small 18 or 20 gauge steel sheet on top. Holy frijoles i need to take another look at building my welding table.
2018-09-04 01:15:20 +0000 UTCWelding table ...
Frank Yazzetta
2018-09-04 01:14:56 +0000 UTCUse them as molds to create rubber/silicone wrenches as props for comedy gags.
2018-09-04 01:11:43 +0000 UTCBack to the laser shop, have the rows cut into strips, latitudinally speaking, then have ornate strips of crown moulding? Or decorative skirting for tables? Or ???? They have that walk like an Egyptian look to them. Hieroglyphic, they look like they should be on a wall somehow.
2018-09-04 01:09:44 +0000 UTCA screen door would be really cool. I just need to find a safe way to hang it.
Hand Tool Rescue
2018-09-04 01:08:49 +0000 UTCHmmm...maybe I can stick a small grate on it when I am welding smaller parts.
Hand Tool Rescue
2018-09-04 01:08:10 +0000 UTCWhole animals would be the only option, haha.
Hand Tool Rescue
2018-09-04 01:07:29 +0000 UTCAve used a large plate for a griddle on his barbie. Maybe with the judicious use of some scrap pieces they would be great grills. Some guys using whole animals wouldn't even have to make a mesh.
Wilmer Schock
2018-09-04 01:03:09 +0000 UTCOne sheet should be cut in half and made into a screen door for your workshop majesty. The rest..... How much will you get in scrap? Welding table and welding cart shelves? Bars for your windows?
William R Dougherty
2018-09-04 01:01:24 +0000 UTCMy first thoughts too. Welding table or fence/gate.
