jok 3,264 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 You've got me thinking. I've an off cut of 2" snooker bed slate which has a lovely charcoal colour when finished. In my head I can see a chrome rod of about 2 ft in height with a hardwood timber top to support a number of sticks. Indents in the slate to accept the ferrules. Bit of chrome nosing to set it off. The weight of the slate would be anchor enough and it could be against a wall or free standing. Just a thought. Might be an idea to have a word with Gruffalogriff on here as well. He has the most amazing ideas. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,865 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 is the frame attached to the box section and if so......HOW ??? i havent a clue on such skills as is evident by my ignorance lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,865 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Well if I was knocking it up I'd cap the ends of box section with stainless and drill and tap it or drill some holes prior to welding them on and tack nuts on the inside, if you've any mates or acquaintances with a fab shop it's probably two hours work to cut box, mag drill stick holes in box and cap ends . Only an idea and some light oak wood look nice with the stainless sorry you lost me after the '' tap it'' bit lol...ive never seen the inside of a fab shop??...I dont think lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
