Furniture from Hell

I own a little neighborhood basement bar called Hell where everything is done up in red and black. I took some welding classes a few years ago but I don't have my own equipment, so I have been working with other people in the area to weld metal tables and chairs for the bar. It's a very good fit for the environment; it's basically a dive bar and wrought-iron table legs are very gritty and "tough" looking. I am also working on a wall hanging of a pitchfork welded together from parts of an old metal beer cooler that we had to throw out. We salvaged some scrap metal and that's what we're using for the hanging. It's a good way to reuse and recycle!
