Since my workbench was built using dumpster dived parts, and I need a few drawers under it,  might as well dive in again.   

Parts from a metal loft bed on the left, more about the wood stuff in a moment

Hmmm, don't have a welder handy.   But I did find most of the bolts.   1/2 pound of them.   Now, as for the wood parts.   Seems there was a fancy water bed thrown away

Those are solid OAK, people!   someone must have got a bit too frisky and broke it...

 

There were a few 1x 12 in the haul, as well.

 

Other side is stained a walnut-like colour.    So, along with a decent stash of Barn Wood 1x4s and some other bits and pieces.    Maybe a good thing I got two new hack saw blades. 

Single Brain Cell Sketch-up is just starting to warm up, takes awhile nowadays....  Somehow, I will have to tear the head and foot boards down to just parts.    I will lose one stretcher from the bench build, but gain several METAL ones.    Price so far?    ZERO Dollars spent.   Unless you count a count saw blades...

This could get to be interesting.....
 

 

Love the price! My kind of project!

Nice divin'.

 

I built a whole mess of stuff over the years from industrial cast offs. I used to go on patrol on sundays and holidays around the 128 Loop from Needham through Waltham where there were hundreds of not thousands of little tech companies numerous small lumber stores and such and each had a dumpster that was often filled to the brim with something or other that could be used to make something else.

 

 

One day a stupid cop discovered me in a dumpster and made me put everything back.
