If I could afford it a new stainless exhaust for my Land Rover as after the winter snows I have yet another rusty hole in it.

Not sure if you're looking for new ideas but just to say that cutlery works for me.

You see I have unlimited supply of stainless steel and am thinking of making something from it. I already make custom clocks from stainless and copper and they are quite popular.

I love the look of SS but it is a pig to clean, so having once had SS hob, oven and cooker hood in a new kitchen I soon learnt it was a big mistake and am happy to have just white appliances in this house! So something that isn't difficult to clean then. :iconbiggrin:

A seed holder, with monthly divisions would be great, or some seed name things. Or a stainless steel dibber. They would look great together.

I have a SS TV stand for our back room tv.

It's a tripod, with a plate at the top that screws into the back of the telly & a shelf down low on the 'legs' that keeps the tripod from collapsing & holds the sky box- pretty cool!

Edited to say: It's for a flat screen tv!!
The more people I meet, the more I like my garden :wink:

I have actually made some lights from stainless 100mm pipe bends, they are more accent lights as the bulbs are not visable!!

I will try and get a picture up over the weekend. I made about 10 of them and they sold within 24 hours :shock:

Right, to get started im going to make simple Stainless Plant/Seed labels and Stainless Steel plant pots of 6" size (square). The material I will be using is recycled from the manufacture of stainless kitchen products.

If anyone is interested just pop me a PM otherwise ill put them on a new website over the next month or so.

I am still looking for ideas around plants/home and garden if anyone has any more.
I will also look in to making a seed organiser this week.

My husband suggests a sea fishing bait pump. He's got two. One made of copper and one of stainless steel and he says the ss one is best.

Used for sucking up lug worms out of the sand. I'll take a picture if you're interested.

They sell around here for £45 ish.
