As shown. They do have some dings and some parts missing. Originally a set of Fireplace Andirons. These would still be very fashionable if displayed on your fireplace hearth.

Or think re-puposing? Are you a horse person? Or decorate as such? Imagine them atop posts at the entrance to a gated sidewalk. How about a topper on a brass coat rack? Atop a “Hitching Post”?

Heavy cast iron and a substantial amount of brass. They stand about 17 inches tall. Each piece weighs just a little over 15lbs.

Are you throwing away oil based wood putty you used one time, only to find it dried up when you go to use it again later? If you can dig it out with a screw driver and it has not totally solidified you most likely can resurrect it for use again.

Dig all of the product out of its container onto a clean work surface or a piece of wax paper. Use a pair of disposable gloves and start working in a few drops of common Canola Cooking oil. Work it for awhile before adding more oil. Use your thumb and edge of your index finger to break up any hard pieces.

Once you have the putty the consistency of play dough it is ready for use, or you can return it to its container for future use.

Simple, cheap, fast, and effective.

This was a “Re-purposing” project that transformed the ordinary into something unique and different.

We took two garage sale finds and combined them.

The combination was a hand blown glass ball and a high square blue glazed flower pot.

Using a landscape light pigtail light socket we buy in bulk off eBay, these objects became a very unusual landscape yard light.

A PVC pedestal holds the glass ball and also has the light socket and bulb centered inside the ball. The landscape wiring goes down through the PVC and out the pots bottom drain hole. That wiring runs back to the landscape lighting transformer/timer.

The pot was filled around the PVC pedestal with pea gravel to secure everything. The pedestal length was cut to purposely give the appearance the ball is floating just above the pot edges.

This project with combined material was completed for under $25.

This project could be adapted to run off solar.

Garage Sales, Estate Sales, Second Hand Shops, as well as Antique Shops often hold that diamond in the rough.

This metal patio set was a rust heap when found.  No table top either.  With some loving labor and a few quarts of paint the rusty metal was transformed.  No quick project.  3 coats of brushed on paint.  10 hours of labor went into this transformation.

Over a period of months we kept searching Craigslist and Garage Sales for an appropriate sized round piece of tempered glass.  We finally scored and the project was complete.

Not all that is vintage, is found sitting idly on the shelf in an antique shop.  Occasionally you see something in the wild that is a thing of beauty.  Especially when it still functions, and in some cases perhaps better than when it was new.

On my recent visit to Glacier National Park, I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the rare “Red Jammer”.  Why is it called a “Red Jammer”?
