Bike Art Shelf Brackets- When bicycles & industrial style float ya boat, you can't get much better than my B-Spoke shelf brackets. They're made from real push bike salvage, after being meticulously cleaned, cut and reconfigured. Some said I was nuts when I wanted to turn push bikes into shelf brackets... it's upcycling like you've never seen before!Inspiration
Upcycled bicycle shelf brackets - The aim for this piece was to create something absolutely unique and beautiful from all the old bike parts I have collected. I really wanted to make a feature of the gears and spokes as they're really pretty & beautifully formed if you really look. Shelf brackets are something every home needs to get clutter up & our of the way, but there's no reason for them to be boring! These B-spoke brackets are the most fiddly and time consuming of all my brackets. Each one of those little gears and spokes has to be welded in position, only problem is the spokes like to vaporise if you don't watch it! Welds are hidden wherever possible & sandwiched between the two gear stacks. Price is per pair of brackets - scroll down for the images & product data tabs. Have you thought about gifting this handmade product? -
Industrial style coffee table made from salvaged car wheel including the tire. The table base is fabricated from mild steel and salvaged car brake disk, with toughened glass top and exposed dome nut fixings. A must for car fans, petrol heads, man caves & industrial interiors!Inspiration
I wanted to make a really cool coffee table, and I wanted to use something which is often sent to landfill that is incredibly bad for the environment and takes a long time to degrade or is very toxic to burn. Car tires ticked both of those boxes. The raw salvaged tire and brake disk mount are very hard and industrial, by teaming them with the steel base & toughened glass table top they are transformed into an industrial chic designer homeware. Soon we are launching chairs to match these tables - made from salvaged car seats with metal framework - watch this space!Customise
You can either send me a wheel of yours, perhaps off an old car you loved? Or I can salvage one for you. I usually find my wheels for free, if you have specific requirements for your wheel and I need to buy it this cost will be added to the price of the table - you will be invoiced separately for this. Any vehicle wheel can be turned into a coffee table, from formula one, dirt truck, lorry, army truck, car, van, bus - ignite your imagination!Colour
You can choose to have your alloy refurbished and sprayed the colour of your choice , this means I will sand the metal part of the wheel, fill any holes & blemishes before priming, spray painting and lacquering your wheel. If you want a very polished & new looking rim you will need your wheel refurbished as salvaged wheels tend to have signs of wear and tear. If you do not choose to have your wheel refurbished it will be cleaned, but any scuffs, scratches etc will still be visible through the glass. You are also welcome to send a wheel that has already been refurbished.Logo
Choose to have your own logo added to the centre of the wheel, great for businesses and client waiting areas. Or choose the brand of car sticker to show in the centre, or we can keep the one the wheel came with Please click the options in the drop down menu, on ordering you can specify the colour you want - ie; dark blue, black, red, pink etc. If there is a specific RAL colour you need that I have to get specially mixed there may be an extra charge for this dependant on the cost of it.Base Colour
Choose to leave the base natural and have it clear lacquered, or match the colour to your rim. When you purchase this item I will source a wheel and recreate this piece, unless you would like to supply the wheel - or have a specific one in mind. The purchase price listed is for labour and welding materials & equipment only - NOT the wheel, unless it is FREE. (I currently have two free SAAB wheels here ready to go!)

My handcrafted Viking Shield coffee table is made from real salvaged cable reel & the base was designed by me & created from industrial shelving uprights & motorcycle parts for the feet & chain around the table top. Comes with dish in the centre that can be used for whatever treats you have! A must for Vikings, Shield Maidens & lovers of industrial style! Of course.Inspiration
I wanted to make a coffee table from the old wooden reels I had salvaged. I had the idea to make the legs tripod like before I even started, and the shelving uprights looked fab on a nice angle. The table started to look like a UFO, or a Viking shield! I love the warm rustic wood, paired with the cold hard angles of the steel. And aren't those little cog feet adorable?! Cable reels are often chucked out at industrial sites, some are just ply, but this beauty was nicely weathered & had good solid timber. This unique, handcrafted table is designed for interior use. One sold, one ready to be made for you.Colour
The base is sand blasted to remove old paint & rust, but just leave a slight colouration & lines, or textures from it's history - which add to the industrial theme. The base is lacquered to prevent rust from moisture. The wooden top is sealed down the cracks, refurbished to remove any sharp nails or edges, before sanding smooth & applying stain & a water resistant coating. Have you seen my Moto-brackets? They're made from real motorbike salvage -
Stag head humane hunting trophy wall art remade from a Phillips vintage bicycle. Inspiration I created this humane hunting trophy Stag head wall art for Channel 4's 'Old House New Home' with George Clarke. I was asked originally to use the seat and handle bars of the reclaimed push-bike to make a bulls head trophy. However, I felt that there was still a great deal of bike left over that could be used to create something far more dramatic & unusual. Which is when I asked if I could make a stags head hunters trophy with an industrial twist! George Clarke's team were more than happy for me to run with the idea & make the piece how I would like to. I can recreate this or something similar for you, to your custom requirements. The bike used for this industrial upcycling project was a vintage Phillips bike, vintage bikes have the correct metal parts in the seat that form the face. However, I could create this with a newer reclaimed (potentially free) push bike & create the facial features etc with other metal parts. The purchase price listed is for labour and welding materials & equipment only - NOT the bike. Depending upon your requirements you can either purchase the bike and send it to me, or I can purchase the bike for you - after agreeing the budget. Or I can try to salvage a free one which would most likely not be vintage. You will be invoiced for the cost of the bike and any delivery costs on top of the cost of this product listing price. This is because the price & weight of vintage items fluctuates. The bike used for this build was £100 including postage, vintage bikes tend to be around £75 just for the bike. Scroll down for the additional info tabs & images. If you are looking for something similar, a piece of 3D custom-made art - designed & fabricated for you from salvage - contact me here to discuss your ideas. -
Maple Leaf Metal Art Candle Holder - free standing candelabra with glass. My handmade candle holders are free standing, and also have an integrated handle. The stand is steel - cut, formed & welded into a holder for half a glass bottle. The leaf was hand-held plasma cut from a salvaged steel shelf, heated with oxygen-propane & formed before being welded to the base. The leaf acts as a great shield & the light shines though beautifully. -
Handmade Metal Candle Holder - free standing candelabra with glass. My candle holders are free standing, and also have an integrated handle. The stand is steel - cut, formed & welded into a holder for half a glass bottle. Choose colours from the drop down menus. These go perfectly with my Metal Art Candle surrounds. They were literally made for each other, by me. What with the world the way it is, I'm going back to candles just incase! -
Handmade Ball & Knob Hooks - for easy storage of dog leads, keys, belts, hats, bags - you name it! Inspiration I love getting items off the floor & surfaces! Any kind of hook, shelf bracket or knob for hanging things - I'm on it! Salvaged Golf balls & pool balls come in such great colours, it's a shame for them to sit at the bottom of a pond! So I started thinking up new ways of reusing them. You may also like my motorcycle sprocket hooks.. or my golf ball coat & hat hooks
