all aboUt the TIN










WE ARE FULL OF TIN RIGHT NOW..the good old kind from the early 1900s, .. LOTS IN IN THE ROUGH...AND SOME BEAUTIFUL PATTERNS....

the big 3 square ones are 6 ft tall and about 2 ft wide..weve sold them for so many things... headboards, stove backs, wall art... they are perfect for big tall walls....
these are old and original.....

,AFTER JON fraMES THEM UP, we scraped them down and painted a bit and and sealed them up....
..jon has really been busy making them this week.we have about 15 big panels right now......we also have some great shelves with tin built in....... and lots of counters and cabinets and tv stands , they are so good for big flat screens.....
i love old tin... ..its such a good great looking rehabbing medium for all the funky archetectural styles we do......
for the ones IN OLD ORIGINAL CONDITION , just like they came from the city...check out the back pORch and in the rough room..they are in 2 ft by 2 ft sections mostly....
i like hearing all the ideas you customers have for these great pieces..ITS KIND OF ENDLESS!!!!
..here they are in rural indiana after being salvaged out places in chicago or detroit BY REALLY HARD WORKING GUYS WHO HAVE TO BEAT THE DEMOLITION CREWS...
lots of them have been up there in chicago on the dan ryan and when we get them they might be in an amish workshop , a place without phone, electricity or car....
THESE TINS RUN 120$$$ FOR THE 8 FT ONES ON DOWN TO35$$$ FOR THE SMALLEST ONES..
anyway ENJOY....

I found your blog through robojunker site. It's so funny because I live in Plymouth & have been to your store a couple of times. I will have to make a trip in when hubby is back to work later this year. I love creating beautiful things from junk too!
