Coffee table I made from my FRS OEM springs
 

Hey guys, I had Tein Springs put on my car straight from the dealer and they gave me my OEM springs. So i decided to make a coffee table from it. Total came to roughly $81.

Hardware-$25
Wood-$25
Glass-$25
Rods-$6

Cool! I can picture my cat lying on the wooden parts.

The heavy part of wood is lying on the ground, so the center of gravity of this coffee table stays low, to the spirit of 86. Great design work!!

One question, does the table tilt or bounce if you press on the edge of the table?

Awesomenessss!!!

Next question, at parties do you replace the glass with a flat piece of wood and see who can surf the longest?

Its a heave piece of glass so it doesnt budge but it only wobbles a little bit if you actually try to shake it because of the actual springs. But the sprins are secured very well to the wood and the glass just sits on top.

I have not had any parties yet since I just finished this today. But i do have a christmas party at my place next Friday. Its low key but the table will come in handy for people to put drinks down and what not considering we had nothing in the living room for stuff like that.

^ I like the surfing idea: change your table into some entertainment device without electricity!!

I wonder if there will be someone who will sit on that table and flip all the drinks... (finger crossed).

Haha i hope not...Its not like a wooden table or something that is solid and its pretty obvious the glass is just sitting on top.

Glass coffee tables are sick. I really like it:thumbsup:

That reminds me of this:
