Picture this: your significant other has been begging you to spruce up the house with some new décor. You’ve gone to countless furniture stores and boutiques, but you can’t come to a mutual decision on how to decorate the house. Also, since you are reading this, you are probably indifferent and/or bored out of your skull every time you trudge to these places to look at the same old stuff. What if I told you that you could class up the joint AND decorate the house with old car parts?
Enter Wrench Works Customs, run by a guy named Justin Osbourne. Justin is a gearhead as much as he’s an artist, and has an eye for detail when it comes for repurposing old cast-off junk. His stuff is nice enough to take out of the garage and put in a fancy living room. Check this stuff out!
This is a cool pub table made from all sorts of stuff. I see steel wheels, a crank, some brake rotors, and coil springs in there.
Check out this side table. I mean, just look at it! And this is all stuff that is probably just sitting in your garage right now!
Another table, but this little guy can be used as a stool, too. And if you need to change a tire in the living room, you’re all set!
Now that’s a classy candle holder! I’d put that right on my dining room table.
I’ve heard of people making camshaft lamps before, but this one is the nicest I’ve seen.
Set up a nice romantic candlelight dinner with the Mrs. with these candle holders made of pistons, rods, and valve springs! Yeah, she’ll love that, right? I don’t think there are a cooler pair of candle holders in existence.
Here’s an even more serious take on the camshaft lamp incorporating some hubcaps. This beast reeks of pure awesomeness.
This coffee table is just amazing. It’s filled with gears, rods, and other stuff, and the legs are camshafts!
I can’t think of a cooler way to tell time than this clock made from a vintage Ford hubcap. Don’t worry, Chevy and Mopar guys: he makes them in those flavors too, and can probably make one from any other hubcap you can think of.
Justin also makes automotive-themed sculptures like this bent rod piston skull one you see here. He also makes trophies and does commissioned works, so if you think of something ridiculous made of car parts, he can probably make it.

I have a welder and work at a repair shop.
Why am I not doing this?
