4Tec Coffee Table

[1MACGYVER]

For a long time I've been looking for a V8 or V12 alloy engine block to make a coffee table out of with no real luck finding one.
I was at a mates workshop and noticed a few damaged 4tec cranks and pistons.. with a bit of laser cutting, powder coating and a piece of 10mm glass this is the result:

Well done, that thing is awesome. Very creative.

Not that I don't think it is living room worthy, but your wife actually let you put it in the living room? Unless you not married of course.

That is awesome!! Nice work...

but did you make sure you used the new flywheel bolt replacement kit...lol.

Very nice, definitely man cave furnishings, or maybe the den, not the living room, especially in my house.

Added: I just showed the picture to my wife, her comment "not in this house". And I thought she had taste, go figure!

I agree. Pretty cool but certainly fits dens and caves decor.

Im not married so its right in the living room, at some point I'm sure it will be moved into a the man cave/garage.
Also its not overly kid/baby friendly, a few harsh edges

Love it! My buddy wants my old honda block to make one out of. He's not married either
