Ski / Snowboard Furniture....
Since it's only really snowing in one part of the country (I guess two, if you count AK), I decided to build a snowboard bench. It should be noted that I normally have zero Bob Villa skills, but on this occasion I made something that actually came out really nice.
I have seen some really cool ski chairs on here before, so how about posting some pics of cool ski / snowboard inspired or constructed furniture.
The police never find it as funny as you do.

Looks to me like you found the lost snowboard from Berthoud Pass. Find my virginity?
Also, looks like a much better application than originally designed for."Pffffft, Please."

Who said I don't like snowboarders. Who do you think I lost my virginity to?

Attach a beer opener on it and call it good. How sturdy are those legs laterally?

your bench
Might think about throwing some washers on there. Looks like your standard Douglas Fir building materials. That stuff is pretty soft and those bolts will dig in and you'll be wobbling around on there even without 12 beers in the belly.
Give the wood a good sanding, stain with some Minwax Mahogany, and spray-paint the bolts and washers black and you'll have the sickest bench on the block!
Good work.

I picked this beauty up from a local area in the middle of summer. If anyone is from the Seattle area, summit at snoqualmie was selling these over the summer. Great deal at only 50 for a complete chair
This is the day i got it, started work on it right away. Started peelin away the old paint with Industrial paint stripper (wooo!! inhalants) and got that done in a few days. next was sanding away the rust (YAY LEAD BASED PAINTS) and that was fun. Got everything sanded down and ready to paint in about a week, then painted 2 coats of primer on followed by 2 coats of rust-o "hammered bronze".
I'm very proud of what I've got done so far, but I still need some help on the legs.
I'm thinking of making a steel base to hold it up, or going cheap and using sealed wood. Any suggestions as to how i could get this done? I've got the tubing to make a base, but lack a welder.

did the top tubes come with it or did you have to get them elsewhere.
If you got them custom bent im sure wherever it was has a welderLive

It came all together. I think what i'll end up doing is find a local welder and take the stuff to them and get it done for however much is reasonable. It's not a high priority seeing as how its winter and it's outside so I can't enjoy it often, but in the summer it'll be ontop of my deck where there is a view.

I got a triple 60 chair also. Sanding it was a pain in the ass. I hung it on a 14" length of steel tubing (cost like $12) mounted inside a 2x6 structure bolted on a beam. It's beefy, and swings nicely. I also retrofitted an old bench that came with the cabin with skis from goodwill and made a nifty hat/glove drying area above the fireplace with the toe pieces. Total cost about $25.

We all know how this season has been so far. So, instead of ditching work to ski radical lines with deep pow and big drops... I've been at the office trying to fight off boredum and actually doing some real work like I am supposed to. I also cleaned up the place for the first time in a long time. I even vacuumed. And to add a nice touch, I built a coat rack from old skis.

Threw this together hastily so that I had something to put my mattress on. Once spring rolls around I will finish it off with a less fence like placement of the skis and some finishing touches on the side rails and four posters.
Yes that is a builtin USB port, one on each side for charging devices.
