Hi!

I like beer 🍺!! I’m not a huge consumer, but I love in the summer hottest days get a pipe of freezing beer . I’ve got a unique spot where I like to go . So , I’ll take the boat from Cacilhas, Almada to Cais Sodre , Lisbon , than take a walk until I’ll reach the Estrela garden . And it is there that I have a spot on the deck of a little cafe that serves beer on mugs. Just love that spot .

One day I was on streets of Almada and I found this commercial clock for a German brand beer that I can’t even pronounce the name of . It was into a really bad shape , but reminded me of he mugs….. so ….. I just picked it up and Upcycled it into a lighting piece .

I’m sorry I didn’t documented the process , but this piece is one of my first projects in upcycling , so those projects never came to be documented . I’ll let you enjoy the pics now .
I just want to say that the led stripe is on power bank supply ( so that makes he clock portable) , it was 100% restored , new paintings , and I attached a toggle switch that ignites the light .

Thanks for your time !

Adding some warm lighting behind the TV. Any other suggestions?

7 months in the works and still plenty more to come. Let me know what you think and any suggestions!

So me (24M) and my girlfriend (23) just bought a new place. We have a nice big finished basement. I have attached some pictures to show. All the furniture is staying except the workout equipment so I am looking for something to fill that space. I was thinking about a pool table and a dart board but I wanted to see if anyone here has any creative or fun ideas I could try? Let me know, Thanks!

Edit: there is also a bedroom downstairs if someone had an idea that would require a separate room

Lots of work to do, just sharing :) R2 is fully functional and BB8 is static with sounds and lights, the spider assassin droid walks and is fully animated look alive and kinda creepy :)

I posted here about a year ago and just wanted to share the updates. Cheers, y’all! Happy collecting✌️

8 years of gear, manga, figure, gaming and lighting in one post. Enjoy.

Taken me 2 years chipping away at it in my spare time. Built from the ground up. Almost ready for the world cup 🍻 ⚽️

Recreation of the work of Hiroshi Nagai.

Next month's plans consist of setting up my old consoles with a RetroTink 4k (and a better tv), and build frames for the two marquees on the floor. The print quality of the one on the wall is underwhelming so it's getting replaced.

I also need to grab a couple more of my boxing posters from my parents house and frame them.

Hey guys,

Welcome to my cave 🤩 as you can see I’m all into Videogames, 3d printing and electronic music.

Jeg arbejder med pool- og billardborde og har lige lavet en interessant installation hos Cafe Floss.

Vi erstattede 25+ år gamle borde med en outdoor-model (Eagle Hawk), men brugt indendørs.

Det mange ikke tænker over er, hvor meget fugt, slid og temperatur påvirker et poolbord i en café. Outdoor-modeller kan faktisk være en bedre løsning i den slags miljøer.

In need of a couple more posters

I’ve had my cave for about 12 years now. Unfortunately I didn’t take a shot before starting to rearrange lastnight. Welcoming any advice on my plans.

1. Break out the bar. I never sit behind it so that space is wasted. It’s also termite infested and falling apart. Plan is to add a two 24”x 24” bar tables that can be moved around the room as needed.
2. Add a small bar sink and small countertop in the corner where the fridge with lamp on top of it is.
3. Hang a 120” projector screen on the wall behind the existing bar. I was gifted a really nice projector which is part of the push to make some changes.
4. Get rid of the pendant lights above the bar and replace with track or spot lights.
5. Add 6 floating shelves on the wall with the TV to display some of the stuff in the last photo.
6. Wall hang some stuff in the last photo.
7. Add a pool table (not full size)
8. The couch in the middle will now have to face either the TV or the projector depending on which one is in use.
9. Move the fridge to the corner behind the bar now.
10. Add some movie posters on the spiral staircase up to the cave. My cave was built on top of my garage.

Just enjoying some bass on a good day in my mancave/studio in the making. These are monolith subwoofers. 2 2-15’s and a monolith 16.
