I have a dead closed deck short block with crank. It's beyond repair but I was thinking about giving it a second life. I'm not going to make a table as I don't have room, so does anyone have any suggestions.

Otherwise it'll be out for the scrap man.

 

A flower pot for the garden? Better than my dad's old toilet he had the brainwave of using

 

That's not a bad one, the 2 halves would give me 4 flower pots. Perhaps a herb garden for the missus.

 

Has the block it self been damaged? If not then its worth a few hundred.

 

Yep, snapped a rod and destryed the internals

 

Dam

 

Paperweight

 

Collect a few of them, pile them in the back garden and tell your friends you've just built a...

























..."Blockery".

 

Love it.

 

The really funny thing is, I got that from my old boss who knew someone who actually had one. He stuck a few plants in it and apparently it looked quite good.

 

Milk bottle holder???

 

If you only plan on usin one half I'll take the other half to make a table if your willing to mate

Ryan

 

Would make a great beer chiller!!
Make something to seal the bottom of the water jacket, and fill with water and a pump to flow. Then the water will flow around the block cooling the bores with the beers in.
By the time your done it'll be summer and BBQ weather again!!

 

You can have one half if you want Ry. If Tyron is coming to yours any time soon he can collect it from me.
