1930's Machine Age smoking stand

I ran across this piece in an old barn in Virginia

several years ago. According to family members

it was made by the owner's grandfather,

a machinist and pattern maker, in the  1930's

from scraps of heavy gauge copper and aluminum.

The glass ashtray has long been lost or broker, but the

piece is still a visual work of industrial art.

Dimensions are 28" by 16" by 9.5"

Aluminum and Cherry Mirror Frame

I ran across this aluminum channeling

and re-purposed it into a

frame to hold a plate glass mirror.

The interior edging is wrapped with

narrow strips of cherry wood

that not only hold the mirror in place

but work as a great contrast with

the metal. 

The dimensions are 40" by 51"
