    Oh, I like this. I’m turning the garage into the man cave so I need some inspiration.

    I like the idea of using an old cracked frame for something.. but what?

    Hey Qwerty, love the door handle. But I reckon it would look better if it was a bit shorter, say about 152mm long… 😛

    You can use flats as a bottle opener. Wedge the top in the slot betwixt upper and lower platforms and – psssssssht! – glug away 😀

    I used a cut-down DT Swiss Champion spoke and 3 zipties to fix my broken wiper linkage last month:

    Tom,

    Usually gets a few jokes, many uses have been suggested……

    When I typed available in a variety of sizes, I meant the gear rather than the “handle” !

    When I was a student the only piece of furniture apart from the bed in my rented room was the owners bike. I used to drape my clothes across the cross bar. Very functional.

    Liking the doorhandle

    I need a man cave before I can start on this sorta thing

    Potato masher.

    don’t the teeth scratch up your pans? Would a disc rotor do?

    Donk,

    Scratching can be an issue, I grind the edge of the teeth off to help a bit.
    Could try a disc rotor, even a 140mm would be quite big.

    Would mash spuds pretty quick mind.
