My friend Alex and I frequented a local bar with the coolest tables around. These tables were some sort of clear plastic (which we later learned was polyesther based) with different things encased within this plastic, be it wolverine toys, star wars, pogs, money & drugs... each one is different. As car guys we figured we'd try our hands at something similar. This was the product.
The base was a brake rotor, the height comes from a Ford camshaft, some metal bits that look like pushrods (not really pushrods though) coupled to pistons. The pistons were embedded in some of this poly that we totally ripped off the idea for.
I say was when talking about the table, because with our shoddy welding skills the base eventually broke since apparently camshafts are brakes were never meant to be joined in automotive furniture-art.
