Do not rush to throw away old scrap metal. From it you can make very unique things that will be useful to you in everyday life. For example, these "Bar stools". They are made of ordinary scrap metal, and thanks to a special decorative processing they look like mother-of-pearl.
To make this homemade You will need the following materials.
Materials
• A pipe about 50 cm long (3 x 0.3 cm);
• Pipe 2.5 cm-5 cm long (5.7 x 0.6 cm);
• Pipe 30 cm long (4.2 x 0.6 cm)
• Piece of steel (for seat)
• Spiral (in this homemade product it was used from a grain auger);
• Bulgarian;
• Cutting disc;
• Metal paint (black)
• welding;
• Meter;
• Level;
• Corner with a magnet;
• Brush (wire).
Step 1.
Take a sheet of steel and cut a round seat out of it. Gently strip it around the edge.
Step 2
Using a grinder and grinding wheel, it is necessary to cut off the edge of the pipes.
Step 3
Take a special wire nozzle and strip the upper layer from the pipes.
Step 4
Connect the middle and small pipes with each other by welding. See as shown in the photo.
Step 5
The prepared part must be turned upside down and welded to the “base”
Step 6
Now take the grinder and carefully remove the top layer from the round base of the chair. Here you need a round grinding disc. If you will grind in stages, or rather, first make one circle, then impose a second, third, and so on. Then you will see that you get an interesting decorative pattern.
Step 7
After that, take the prepared narrow pipe and weld it to the seat.
Step 8
Now you need to paint the base. To do this, first take the paper and wind the pipe with it. Then paint over the base of the chair. It is necessary to apply 2-3 layers.
Step 9
Assemble the chair in one piece. Place the spring on the pipe that is welded to the seat. After that, a narrow pipe must be inserted into the widest. Look at the photo how it should be.
Step 10
Now it’s worth giving a beautiful decorative look to the top of the bar stool.To do this, take the grinder again and use it to make unusual patterns on the seat.
That's all, the bar stool is ready. If there is a desire, then the chair can be given a rusty look. This is done using special acid, which is applied to the surface of the stool. After that, cover the chair with a special varnish.
That's how scrap metal that nobody needs, can bring not only benefits, but interesting impressions. Amaze your friends and neighbors. Create with pleasure.
