I like the bottle opener addition, I have one on mine too.

I've got to take it off though and crusty it up in muriatic acid; it's too shiny. Your bench looks more comfortable than mine.  

[fiatslug87]

... it's too shiny. 

??? Who is this? What have you done with Don?

I've got to take it off though and crusty it up in some muriatic acid; it's too shiny.............

 

EDIT:  ...........for this application.   :yes:

Nonsense. It needs to blind anyone who dares lay eyes on it.

[HOrnbrod]

You guys are killin' me.......

And while we're at it, what the hell is with all of the black in your avatar? You know that ain't right.

[HOrnbrod]

No, it ain't. My prehistoric graphics editor doesn't have any way (that I know of) to make something look like chrome. The black bumper and trim really saddens me...
 
Bottle opener and screws appropriately "aged".  For 30 minutes.  :thumbsup:

 

Don's fake metal aging process:
 
1. Let it boil in a plastic container under straight muriatic acid for 5-10 minutes.
2. Pull it out of the acid and rinse copiously with hot water to neutralize.
3. While still wet, heat it up with a heat gun or propane torch until the desired shade of rust appears.
4. Let cool, then shoot it with clear satin polyurethane.
5. Done.

Very nicely done! What, no cup holders?

[HOrnbrod]

The final touch. Thanks Adam.   :cheers:

perfection :D

That handle needs Don's metal aging process. And I love the bottle opener instructions, that must be the Alabama special. :rotf:  

 

But seriously, looks great! :bowdown:
