That's some creative furniture. My mom would kill me if I brought my car parts inside of the house.

And if you're looking for a glass top, check your local thrift stores. Got mine for $5

That Looks Awsome

I'd hate to move this around. Isn't that thing at least 200lbs or something?

it's aluminum so it's not bad. Bare I think it's under 100lbs. I can carry it myself no problem.

The compressor housing is aluminum so it doesnt weight that much. Usually canvas that large too has pretty substantial bracing so a self tapping wood screw does the trick

Lol, nope. Ive never taken any kind of art class in my life! I guess I just like things that are aesthetically pleasing, form over function if you will.
