Upcycled Projects

[Zane]

I make quite a bit of money repairing electronics such as mobiles, game consoles, laptops, tablets etc.
I've always liked restoring things and I've recently got into upcycling. I've made a couple of clocks from old bicycle wheels. I've seen some for sale online for £200! Has anyone on here made things from bike parts? Some lamps can sell for a fortune and furniture is even more sought after, but I'm quite new to it, so I could do with a few pointers.

I made a bike lamp mount out of an old chain ring.

I made a hat stand out of some drop handlebars.

You can make bike racks from handlebars...

I’ve got a mountain of old, knackered bike bits. I’m going to build a ‘Transformers / Godzilla / Robot Wars’ thing, out of them, then hunt down Boris Johnson, and make him run away to Russia, where he belongs.

Ms has two lounge chairs in the house and a couple of footstools too, they’re for upcycling and flogging.....5months ago. To be fair we’ve had a lot on, her friend does it and if she gets the chairs cheaply then makes min £100 on them. She’s practices so can turn one round in a couple of days.
In effect we’re upcycling the house too ie loads of building works....a little different but similar

I would leave it just as it is
