Salvage
Every piece starts with whatever I can find — a wing section, a control surface, a tail cone that's done flying. So nothing here is off the shelf: each build is one of one, made to fit the part and your space. Below are some past builds, and ideas for smaller pieces.
Past build
Control-surface shelves
A control surface stood on end and opened up: ribs and lightening holes become the shelving, the riveted skin stays as the frame. Lit from inside.
Past build
Tail-section coffee station
A tail section turned upright into a coffee bar, with the machine sitting inside the structure.
Past build
Riveted counter tops
Riveted aircraft aluminium as a reception counter top — here under a matching wing light.
