it would look great in your basement August

I was hoping they would have a swiveling chair, but I would be fine with a desk

I agree! The fireplace is awesome! What a brilliant why to use an old mine.

He has chairs, too. No prices. I'd bet a couple grand or so. Shipping would suck, too.

Very steampunk!

Just hang around a beach in the UK on the channel coast and one will come your way soon enough...

I always thought it was cool how people take those old warplane parts / bombs etc and make furniture out of it.

nice stuff too.

i forget the name of the company but they had a show on TLC or the Discovery channel or something, they would take old airplane parts and make stuff like corporate desks

like these

We wouldn't want to approach such a device wearing a suit of plate armor, would we?

Did you see the fish tank on his site? I'm willing to bet he is asking $5000.00 for the fireplace. I had a nice gas one installed at $4000.00. This is a middle of the line for stoves. His is just very cool.

Or you can go out in to the Baltic with a trawler and try to snag a few, here is a map...

I'd like to see, you married guys get that crap past your wives.

Even if it was cheap, price wise.

I bet my old lady would go for it.
