I took a large slab of ash with a rough cut edge, tapped 5 holes and sunk ancient ice screws from back in the day and a pick off an old X-tool for a coat rack. Still needs a good stain and better mounting bolts. It holds a mountain of coats for my family. Have another coatrack underway on barn board with old picks and pins.

Here's an installation I'm currently showing which features my Annapurna rope.
I call it "Waiting for a dope"
I might use it as a prop in a play I'm writing by the same name.

these are really some good art in here, talk about resourcefulness! this are only some of the qualities that we should posses as climbers and that we should learn to make something of what we have especially in times of nee, this is actually the key in survival that we must first master to be able to call yourself a true climber.

thanks k-man. after trying to visualize different scenes to use on the door, juxtaposed totempole's just seemed to be the right choice. Mike is an amazing artist, he was a animator for Disney for 25 years. Now he just pursues his painting.

The door is awesome and 'the czar's' paintings are too! Kto eto 'the czar'?
Majid and Yellowdog's jeweler need to hook up - Majid for the design end.
I need to find some longer pens and pensils so I can use my olde toob chocks on my desk.
I guess I could tie strings to them and hang them inside.

thanks mrtropy, steal away. I'm already thinking of other spaces that would work well with this idea.
slightly off topic since it contains no climbing related stuff but it's something else he and I came up with. A bit of color and 'tude' in the front room.

Reilly, naaaw, just a bit of S. Cal juju going on. As far as how it was painted, the letters are attached to the background with single bolts which allows the letters to be articulated in whatever orientation seemed to fit the mood. So the letters and background were painted separately and then put together.

great thread!
here's more in the chair dept. these uncomfortable items knocked around our family for years until i decided to do something about retired ropes. i got the weaving info from a website, for the seats, and improvised the backs. i love the floormats people are making--that'll be for the next "retirement".
that seat weave rides up with the heavy ropes, so i did that knotting underneath to pull it down flat. the ropes are way more comfortable than the old paper wicker.

Cool chairs. Wish I had some that style that I could use.
Alright- I was tossing out old ropes and you guys inspired me to try my first rope rug. I used one that got passed down from Dirtineye. Sort of a memorial mat I guess. It had the prettiest colors in any case. It took forever to make it tight.
I used the instructions off this post on Summitpost:
http://www.summitpost.org/so-you-want-to-make-a-rope-rug-eh/263578 The guy's written instructions are a little obtuse at points, but I'm good with pictures and the photos/diagrams are good.
Not sure how most people bind the edges to keep the strands from separating when you handle it. I used fabric glue and glued all the outside edges on the backside to keep the strands in order.

Nice chairs Tony. Much more artistic than my lawn chair utilitarian version.
Anyone ever made a hammock from old ropes?

This is about a 35-year-old piece I made for my folks; came back to me after they passed away. Remember how hard it was to cut the leg-split in the Lost Arrow. I tried to emulate Roger Briggs' stemming style.
I thought lots of people would have to do this kind of thing with "obsolete" pins, not realizing they're still making the damned things.
So much for clean climbing.

This is not my art but it is a painting of a picture I took of the durrance route on Devils Tower. The leaning column is about right in the middle of the painting. A friend of mine is a university art professor and she has each student of hers In her 2D design class paint a few tileiles and they don't know what the final product is. I think she's done for five of these now mostly of climbing areas in the Black Hills. This one is at least 4x6 feet.

Nice matisse, those are my colors too: yellow (cowardice) and red (rage) as a reminder that neither one will get you up a rock.
