Washing Machine Drum wood burner

[mysticveg]

Don't throw your old washing machine away. Go at it with a screwdriver and hammer and before long, you'll have a nifty wood burner.

I've seen this used and it's a good tip. We have a dryer that's bust that we are planning to do the same with. What can we do with the glass in the door though, it must be so good for something?

Same here Sky. It went on fire.....perfect excuse to get rid!

Mrs Flibble made a barbecue out of a drum. As for the glass door, how about an amazing centrepiece for the dinner (party) table full of fruit salad? It would be a talking point.

Ourold washer door glass became a dog bowl, but the current one is a weird, sloping shape, so not sure what we'll do when that dies

I like this one Mysticveg, will definitely give it a go.

Make sure you wear some stout gloves as there's a certain amount of sharp plastic involved. My hands looked like I'd been wrestling with the cat.

yep, i remember picking bits of plastic out of my hands for a couple of days after doing ours.

What a brilliant idea - I must write it down...although now I have approved of it my machine will probably go on the blink, attention-seeking electronic ...necessity!
