I was somewhat surprised to see last year that knitting was back with the cool young things of London (the chicks at least). I realise the credit crunch is bringing a little austerity chic back into vogue but it’s hard to know if the act of knitting or the final product is the most annoying. Actually, thats nonsense, they are both equally annoying – like being trapped in a lift with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gwynth Paltrow.
But what are the boys to do? Well taking a leaf out of the note book of one Sargent BA Baracus it’s got to be welding. I mean in the 1980’s hardly a week went by without a tractor being converted into a tank. Yes – time for us men to getout there and weld stuff to stuff. Alternatively you could check out the gear available from The Weld House.
They take all kinds of cool stuff and weld it into something that looks vaguely like it’s forebears. I for one love the 1970’s sedan hoods converted into tables. And what little lady wouldn’t want her hubby to come back from a $3,000 dollar shopping spree with a bed assembled from beautiful raw steel?
