Old door - New Tray

[alpineart]

This was a good use for an old security door

that was given to me as a bonsai bench, while i did use it for last season it had a better use . This tray was custom made for the base on the S.A Olive project .I basically cut the steel in the shape of the base

then welded 3 various width 3mm flat steel lengths to create the sides

. It was rendered with Acrylic Render first to seal the steel then added a cement render with a waterproofing agent added the sealed again

.It has come up to expectations and will hopefully leach a little rust stain here and there to give it the finish I'm looking to achieve .

Great job. Was looking at the pot in your other post & wondering where/how it was made. Now I know.

Cheers

Hi Guys , glad to see you like it . I need to make another for Mt Alpineart , its 200mm larger olive base and twice the weight . The next one will have a different side making it out of round steel rod and flats for a different finish . Uniquely different , limited only by your imagination and recycling is definitely the way too go . Keeps me off the streets and out of trouble , except when the Wife finds them laying around half done .

Cheers Alpine
