Tasteful Gearhead Decor

Remember this aluminum-block Rover V8 coffee table that was making the rounds a year or two ago? There are few among us who haven’t thought it would be neat to have an engine in the living room, but in a way that didn’t make the place look like a total slag-heap. On this particular model, and on the end-table version, a classy touch is that the cylinders double as wine-bottle holders. Nice! If you’ve always wanted the V8 table but have given up on finding one, don’t despair: this guy has made an entire photodocumentary on webshots showing how to make your own.
